Enjoy the big burrito at Rey Azteca that is filled with sliced steak or chicken, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, cheese dip & burrito sauce on top. Rice and refried pinto beans are served on the side. The Guadalajara special is prepared with tortilla chips with ground beef, shredded chicken, refried pinto beans, and rice covered with cheese dip, lettuce, guacamole dip, sour cream, two taquitos (one beef, one chicken) and one chicken tamale. A meal wouldn’t be complete…
Tortillas made by hand thrown over the pan, as the heat puff up the tortillas, it is thrown on this red sauce that looks like lava. Then, it is pulled out from the sauce and thrown on to the plate ready for the chopped up cabbage, the onion with oregano, and Mexican cheese. The enchiladas, I wouldn’t dare eat for three-hundred and sixty-five days because the same food taste, the condiments will be overwhelming, forever I have to wash my hands, and I will result in obesity.…

The trip to America was a long one, it took me 2 plane rides to come here 1 ride to stop and stay to my parents’ house friends. I stayed there for about 2 month’s because, we only had enough money for 1 plane ride and we chose to stay at my parents friend’s house only work and to make enough money for our next plane ride. I remember the plane ride. The food they served, the way we sleped, and what I had to do to pass the time. The food they served was one of the best foods I have ever eaten; one of my favorite foods that they served was there white rise. Warm and a little gooey but tasted good when chewed.…
My father is a small time farmer who has a taste for exotic foods. Each month, he has a list of rare recipes. For example, last January, he caught a big monitor lizard which he cooked into an aromatic adobo. I never tried to imagine myself the secrets of his cooking and the condiments that excited our nostrils with that mouth-watering aroma.…
My father is a small time farmer whose taste for exotic foods has been proverbial. Each month, he has a list of rare recipes he used to boast about. For example, last January, he caught a big monitor lizard which he cooked into a very aromatic adobo. I never tried to imagine myself the secrets of his cooking and the condiments that thrilled our nostrils with that mouth-watering aroma.…
There was a time where the smallest things seemed to be like they were the biggest. Like no problem big or small could ever be resolved. Back when getting in trouble for something you did was the worst of your problems. Back when using something that wasn’t yours was so bad that you felt like it was the end of the world. Back when orange seeds led you to such a huge problem that you felt like you couldn’t ever fix anything.…
My whole life changed one day my mother bought me a manikin head with real human hair. I fell in love with that manikin the first time I stroked her hair with my brand new comb and brush set that came with it. And to top it off it was a black manikin head. It was my 13th birthday and my mother felt as though I was too old for baby dolls. I named my manikin Diamond. Diamond wore all the new hairstyles and I would post them on MySpace.…
It was a sunny day in the forest when my family and I decided to take a walk. We made porridge before we left, but it was too hot to eat right away. Therefore we wanted to our lunch to cool down the only way we knew how to, go look for berries near our cottage!…
My favorite food may be a little different. It's not the traditional pizza or pasta, it’s definitely something I could have everyday, at any time of day. Some people probably have never even tried it fresh because it’s easier to buy in a can. It’s not something grown locally. Although, you can find it in an average super market, it can be a little pricey. I was introduced to this when I was very young, but the first time I had it fresh was in the Caribbean, I was twelve years old. As soon as I tried it I couldn’t get enough. It can also make one of my favorite drinks, a piña colada. If you haven’t guessed it yet.... my favorite food is pineapple. Pineapple can be served in many different ways; it can be dipped in chocolate, served on a platter with a variety of other fruit, made into smoothies and drinks and even served on a pizza with ham, otherwise known as Hawaiian pizza. In February 2012, I had the privilege to go on a family vacation to Antigua where I got to try a new kind of pineapple. It was called black pineapple; the only difference between a normal pineapple and that was it was smaller in size and a shade darker on the outside. I actually liked the black pineapple better because it was sweeter, but unfortunately it only grows in Antigua it is not found in the United States. What is cool about the pineapple in Antigua, you could find them growing in small patches on the side of the road. I’ve heard Hawaii has the best pineapple grown in the United States. Someday I would love to go to Hawaii just to try the pineapple. As a college student, I still continue to go to the grocery store and buy a whole pineapple to cut up and have it fresh in my dorm, but it will never compare to the taste of those found in the Caribbean.…
I would have to say my favorite meal would be turkey on Thanksgiving. A well-prepared turkey meal starts with cooking from scratch. We slowly cook the turkey in the crock-pot or as my family calls it, the turkey cooker. The mash potatoes would be prepared with real potatoes and not from a box of flakes. We always had choice of white or brown gravy prepared with the juices from the turkey. A meal not prepared well for example, would be going out to eat to a restaurant. One year we went to Mimi’s in Brentwood to have thanksgiving. I kept thinking to myself, how I am going to eat the food that I ordered. It would be rude to my Grandparents, on my father’s side of the family, since they paid for it. That meal was horrible and tasted nothing like the home cooked turkey meal that I was use to having at my grandmother’s house on my mother’s side. One thanksgiving at grandma’s house was very special. I remember it very will even though it was about ten years ago. My Aunt Tricia was bringing her new boyfriend over for the first time. His Name is Roger and he was driving a Porsche when he pulled up in front of my grandmother’s house. When food was ready later in the day, I happen to sit by Roger and spoke for a moment. I was trying to get a bit of Turkey and was using the side of my fork to cut a piece of the turkey. I like my Turkey with the mashed potatoes and gravy all mixed up on the plate, so the next thing that I know my fork slipped on the plate and that bite ended up right in my lap. I looked at Roger to see if he was looking and he tried to hide the fact he seen what happened, but the smile on the corner of his lips and the look on his face spoke for him. I could tell he wanted to laugh but did not since he did not know us all that well yet. Therefore, I knew he had seen what happened so we laughed together. Ever since then My Uncle Roger and I have been close throughout the years. We talk about that day every occasionally and…

My grandmother delicious food that I ate there, still I can smell it. My granny was a wonderful cook. And she used to prepare tasteful dishes for us. I can never forget the smell in the air of the cooked pizza my granny made. I picked up a lot from granny since, she though me a lot of recipes. She understood my eagerness and interest of how she uses different materials and turn into a delicious plate.…
chicken, pork etc. For adult, we cooked spicy foods like fried spicy shrimps and spicy soup. And then, we put all the foods on a long table and asked the eldest person to pray. While we were eating, each person had to tell either good or bad things about me. At first, everybody was afraid to start it. So my mother started saying like this "my son still wet in the bed till he was fourteen years old." Everybody laughed at me on that joke. A few minutes later, my girlfriend got up suddenly and said, "he is a good kisser." and everybody was like laughing and cheering at me. That day my stomach got numb because I laughed too much. We had really fun that day. When I saw an event like this, I talked to myself "you do not get to experience or see like this so often." I was just so happy and this is the reason why my last year birthday was my most memorable…
