As the "male" stranded sister, I could not agree more. A heartfelt thanks to the Wynia's for the extensive research and attention to detail that went into our last repast. It's difficult for me to identify a favorite item from the extensive menu. If pressed, I would have to say that the chicken mole was probably most impressive, merely because of the ingredients and time involved ( not to mention it was delicious). The enchiladas were among the very best I have ever had, even in Juarez. All three salsa recipes were stand out dips, but the mango recipe was truly one to repeat. Thanks for posting the ingredients, Don. We will begin researching menu items for our next gather and will post a tentative menu in the coming weeks. Again, Thanks!

One 'foodie' to another...
Wooooo hoooooo!
What a great Mexican Fiesta we had!
It was a very good time with some very good friends.
I have to say that my favorites of the evening were the enchiladas- Outstanding!
A bit of zip in the chicken every now and then, Just what my tastebuds ordered.
The Mango salsa was a fabulous sweet and spicy treat.
Not too much heat. Sure wish that I had a picture to post so everyone could enjoy the visual.
Next time.

Served buffet style. We started with chips and salsa then piled the plates high with tacos, tostadas, chicken mole, etc. For desert we turned the flan out onto desert plates. Mmmm... custard and caramel. Hard to beat it.
Impressions
I thought everything turned out fairly well. The mole sauce was very flavorful but perhaps not worth the effort. The mango salsa turned out well and I also liked the enchiladas.
Good food. Great company!
