There's a local radio station here called BobFM that plays a mix of..well, top 40 and classic rock going back to the 50's, and occassionally they drop little promo lines that are Austin related. Some of them I don't get because I haven't been here long enough, but I heard one today that was:
"Barton Springs might be closed for 6 months to fix a crack. Bob thinks they must be using the same contractors as the Central Texas Railway." BURN! (gotta live in Austin to get that one)
My enchilada craving has finally been satisfied. Let me tell you, ordering enchiladas here is an adventure. In Michigan, when you order an enchilada, it comes with "enchilada sauce". You can imagine how I felt when I went to Polvo's a while ago and they had roughly 15 different sauce choices! I looked at the menu and went like this: o_O. There were no descriptions for any of them, and I only recognized 3 of the names. I'm not experimental enough to try something without knowing what's in it. Luckily, I've discovered that I like rojas sauce, and I default to that if nothing else.
Today I went to a place called the Texican Cafe nearby, and got the enchilada sampler with 3 different fillings, 3 different sauces. What I have enjoyed as "enchilada sauce" is called "Cozumel sauce" on their menu. Sadly, I think this is their own name, so I can't order it anyplace else. I do know that it's made with red tomatillos! But I finally got the enchilada I wanted and now I am happy.
Maybe next time I should just go to Hula Hut. Their enchiladas come with queso blanco sauce and are really good.
