A taste of Xalapa

The enchiladas at Xalapa are exactly what one would expect of an authentic Mexican restaurant.

The spicy red and the super-spicy verde (green) sauces smother the fresh tortillas and the meat-and-cheese filling without making things mushy.

The corn shell is firm enough to provide a nice texture to the whole package. And these enchiladas are big boys, four to a plate, so there’s plenty to share or take home for tomorrow’s lunch – and at 45-55 yuan per plate, the enchiladas are a teriffic value for the money.
