Mexican Food in Princeton

Sera: I don't eat out in the Princeton area often, as there aren't any good interesting places to go. I did recently hear that The Taste of Mexico, a small place at the Princeton Shopping Center had some really awesome online reviews.

Since we had limited time (grrr, weeknights!) we figured this would be a quick, tasty option. We wanted to get to good noms and not have to spend loads of time waiting in a traditional sit-down place.

Chris: We went inside and placed our order and then picked a table outside on the patio. It was a nice late summer evening and eating outside just seemed like the thing to do!

We first started out with a basket of chips and salsa. The salsa was very chunky, fresh and had a good spicy kick to it.

Sera: This is my dinner, the Chicken Mole. It was well cooked with the chicken perfectly charred and still moist. The sauce was complex and had a nice balance of sweet and spicy. As this was the first time I had a Mole, I wish I could have something to compare it to. I enjoyed it a lot regardless, and I plan on trying it again someday.


Chris: For my entree I chose one of my Mexican favorites, Chile Rellenos. For those unfamiliar with the dish, it is a fresh roasted chili pepper stuffed with meat and cheese. This one was served with beans and a fresh salad. To me, they are comfort food and this one did not disapoint. It was flavorful and poked that little spot in me that makes me feel good.

Sera: I had never paid much attention to, much less eaten, Chile Rellenos before. Chris has yet again introduced me to something new and terribly good.

Sera: OM NOM

Chris: OM NOM
