The food adventures continue...today for lunch we went to a local Mexican fastfood chain called "Pollo Feliz", Happy Chicken. Basically, you order a chicken by the half - a half, whole, 1.5 or 2 chickens. They bring out this fire-cooked chicken mostly intact and chop it into pieces, throw it into a styrofoam container and serve it with flour tortillas, salsa, and red onions. You can throw whatever you want into a tortilla or just eat the chicken off the bone. Either way, it's definitely the best chicken I've ever had.
They other evening we were shown the are of making Chiles Rellenos (cheese stuffed chiles). The green chile peppers are roasted over a flame, peeled, then stuffed with cheese. Then they're dipped in a batter and deep-fried. Yes, they were crazy hot and yes, they were incredibly good! No doubt milk helps to cool the fire in the mouth but it's worth it.
As you can tell from the picture above, Clayton (Jody's boyfriend) has made it out here and arrived Wednesday morning at about 3:30 in the morning. My family is currently on the road, having left at about 10:00 PM, Friday night and we are looking forward to their arrival!
