Mexican Food Cognoscenti

Going to a Mexican restaurant soon, owned and run by Mexicans, that has really good food. I've been before, but not for some time.

Anyway, THIS time I want to try some of the stuff that the true cognoscenti say is delicious, but that I have previously shied away from because of my pussy-ass white boy prejudices, like tongue or brains or . . . a tasty testicle appetizer. 😉

Give me your inspired suggestions, oh, knowledgeable ones!

I've had cow brains and all I can say is it was exceptionally fatty with a strange flavor. I did not like it.
I had a stew with tongue in it, and the stew was good but I could not comment on the meat, I think it was chopped into really small pieces. It was just a spicy beef stew.

That is barbacoa stew. Anything with barbacoa in it is great. There use to be this little old Mexican lady that would sell barbacoa empanadas out of one of those ice cream bicycle carts on my way into work. I probably gained 5 pounds while jogging to work just because of her breakfasts.

Its hard to beat a good mole in any of its many incarnations.

Mole is worth trying, I'm not sure if it's appeal is universal though. but as you say, there are a whole bunch of different kinds.
 
Beef milanesa is my favorite at the local Mexican places...and I use it as a measure of how good the place may be overall.

Crappy milanesa means I don't go back...😀

I also like many other things...that's just mi favorito.
 
I am pretty much a wild man at Mexican food places, I try such crazy dishes as chips and salsa without even blinking.

actually it's called birria if it's made from goat 🙂 also that's beer in italian so make sure it's not an italian restaurant
 
also try the huitlacoche it's corn fungus supposed to be like truffle tasting but i have only had huitlacoche never had truffles so can't compare the difference....not for the faint of heart. also some chicharrones en salsa verde....yummm!!!

I recommend the Mexican horse penis. It's quite succulent.
