Shrimp in Mole Verde





Loved the flavor but I guess its hard not to overcooked the shrimp while reheating in microwave

Pork Carnitas Tacos





A bit dry, but good over all flavor. Like the other corn tortilla dishes the tortillas are very dry and fall apart. Fluor tortillas may be a better option.

Pork Carnitas Tacos





This dish had a burst of flavor that I'm still thinking about. I wasn't expecting this.
