This is true on so many levels. However it does not have to be one or the other as the girl on those old El Paso commercial says: why not  both? The quote could imply that we would rather indulge in unhealthy food rather than exercise, but if you are not getting your tacos fromContinue reading “Gym and/or Tacos”

*In my best Marlon Brando voice* Sometimes just the sauce can make or break a dish… (I think that would sound pretty good!) In this case, an everyday salad turns into a wonderland of flavor when accompanied by chipotle sauce. It is light, creamy, and spicy. But not just any ordinary spice, it is oneContinue reading “Mexican Diner Salad”

The ingredients that are found within a certain Mexican Dish either make or break the overall meaning of the food. There are so many things that go into making a Mexican meal.

Another great dish from Monty’s is the Mexican grilled chicken with cheese or queso sauce. This food is covered with red pepper and greens, and it is all smothered in what appears to be Oaxaca cheese sauce. That is what I figured the sauce was as I recognized the taste, and I also noticed theContinue reading “Pollo Oaxaca”

Even though spring break was a week long, I still found myself missing Monty’s food. Especially this Mexican casserole that looks cheesy and seasoned to perfection.

Have you ever ordered quesadillas at a diner? Well, if you haven’t, you most definitely should at least once in your life. While it is not what you would expect from a food truck, the quality taste and feeling is still there. Here, I ordered one with chicken, cheddar cheese, and jalapenos, with sides ofContinue reading “Diner Quesadilla”

Open tortillas aren’t the only Mexican food Monty’s has to offer. The other day I was lucky enough to eat some hard shell tacos! One taco was filled to the brim with beef and rice. The beef was sweet and evened out nicely with the rice. The next taco was filled with chorizo. That addedContinue reading “Hard Shell Tacos”

As a resident student, Montgoris dining hall accounts for about 90 percent of what I eat every day. I’m usually there every day, and occasionally I’ll find some Mexican cuisine. This time, they had a make your own tortilla section. Here is an open flour tortilla with tomatoes, onions, pico de gallo, rice and blackContinue reading “Monty’s DIY tortilla”

This is a follow-up on the Chimi Cha-Cha blog post from before Many people who frequent the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney are given an assortment of meals to choose from. One of those meals is the Chimi cha-cha as I mentioned before. Back then, when I had it, I didn’t really think of theContinue reading ““Chimi Cha-Cha” follow-up PIE paragraph”
