Yes, Flautas are always the first thing I order when we go to a new Mexican restaurant. If a place can get the flautas and the rice right, they will probably do most things well. We have some favorites, the ones where the food tastes like abuelita (grandma) is doing the cooking.
The best thing I’ve had in a Mexican restaurant in the US: Chiles Rellenos. And yes, ‘Abuelita’ was making them in the back.
I always visit Burritoville when I’m back in DeKalb, IL.
But I’ll pass on the tripe, etc.
