Lunch at The Shed was cheese enchiladas smothered in red chilie for me, but hubby may have had the winner. He had a green salad with bleu cheese and walnuts, looked good, and a bowl of posole. Mostly similar to our hominey, cooked with pork and chilies, served in a broth of some sort. Looked good, but since I don't eat meat, I have no idea what it actually tasted like. There was a good bit of it being served in the dining room, so I have to conclude that it is popular!
Dinner at Los Mayas was green chilie and cheese tamales for me with fresh guacamole and sour cream, accompanied by black beans and rice. This was absolutely the hottest thing I've eaten in a while. The first bite of the green sauce made my lower lip numb. I swear I'm no wimp, and generally order things really hot. I do love a good tamale and I have never found one in Louisville. The combo of creamy but firm masa around whatver the center is is delightful. Hubby also had the combination plate and he chose an enchilada and something else, all covered with red chilie, which at this restaurant carried significantly less heat than the green. Beans, rice, sour cream and guac on the side.
We finished with the free flan, which was . .well . . .a little strange. I would have thought it was bread pudding given its texture. It had likely been baked at too high a temp which gave it the rough texture.
