Viva Las Tarascas!

I just have to give a shout out to Las Tarascas in Provo--nicest people, most authentic food and best atmosphere! John and I usually go out to lunch on Fridays as a way to ring in the weekend. As soon as we got in the car today, we somehow both knew that it was a Las Tarascas day. Las Tarascas, in case you were not aware, is in the Albertson's parking lot on University Parkway. My favorite thing on the menu, which I had today, is the Tacos al Pastor (pictured above). These have slow roasted pork, pineapple, mango sauce and fresh cilantro. John got the owner recommended mole "just like my grandmother used to make". He thought it was one of the best meals he had eaten in a while. Tarascas also has some of the best salsa at their salsa bar. They have a spicy green salsa which I suspect has ingredients very similar to my creamy tomatillo salsa salsa that I make in the summer. I've said this many times before, but I fully believe that you can tell everything you need to know about a Mexican restaurant by the chips and salsa. Still true. The owner told us that if we call ahead, and bring in a bunch of friends around 10:30 or 11:00 a.m., he will throw a breakfast burrito party with eggs, fresh salsa, queso fresco and hand made tortillas. Who wants in???
