🌮 El Borrego Masters Mexican Meals
“Authentic Mexican gastronomy gets easily confused with Tex-Mex,” clarifies David Taylor, Head Chef at El Borrego, “it’s more than just burritos and queso.”
This Mexican eatery is located in Old Town, Kissimmee. It’s family-oriented vibe is portrayed through inviting decor and colorful table runners. To add excitement to your week, join them for some fun specials:
🍹 Margarita Monday: Cheers to half-off margaritas all day long. Their drinks utilize fresh lime and real coconut that deliver natural flavor to the cocktails.
🌮 Taco Tuesday: Turn up with tacos because taco services are half price on Tuesdays.
This restaurant serves traditional Mexican dishes alongside menu items you won’t find in other Mexican eateries. Check out some of our bites that held classic Hispanic flavors:
🌶️ Chile Relleno
This dish features a beer-battered Poblano pepper engulfed in gooey Asadero cheese with a satisfying string texture. The red Guajillo sauce adds a sweet heat flavor with smokey undertones.
🧀 Queso Fondido
Oaxaca street cheese is warmed to perfection and topped with Chorizo. The authenticity of the cheese is portrayed in its extremely long cheese pull.
🍅 Enchiladas
80% of Mexican provinces have probably never seen a flour tortilla, so this dish utilizes traditional corn tortillas. The Chihuahua cheese adds a tangy flavor to the chicken and beef. When ordering the enchiladas divorciadas (divorced), the red and green salsas are separated. The complimentary flavors amalgamate spicy and smokey tastes.
🍖 Chamorro
The focal point of this dish is a marinated pork shank slow-cooked for 12 hours. The extremely tender meat is served alongside onions and cilantro that add an earthy undertone. The real treat of this dish is sucking the satisfyingly-salty marrow out of the bone!
I appreciate how the eatery strives to preserve Mexican heritage in their cuisine. After many years of Tex-Mex adaptations, authentic Mexican cuisine has been blurred; illustrated by Taco Bell’s rating as the #1 Mexican restaurant in the United States. This restaurant utilizes traditional Mexican cooking methods to stay true to the culture.
“There’s a lot of history behind Mexican gastronomy” says David, “You have to come into El Borrego willing to try new things because it may not be the Mexican food you’d normally expect.”
