I was surprised that it was a place your
order place and then pick a table until your number is called. Wow! I
thought for sure it would a sit-down
place…but I loved the food….I love that machaca meat. I ordered the 2 – machaca enchiladas…it came
with rice and re-fried beans…Janet ordered the two enchiladas…one machaca and
the other chicken.
Janet also ordered chips and salsa. Carolina’s is famous for its homemade
tortillas…and I liked the salsa…only I would have preferred a chunkier
salsa. I could really taste the tomato
in the salsa…
Machaca is a beef that has been marinated, cooked, shredded and
dried. The drying process preserved the
beef, made it easy to pack on the trail (like beef jerky) and it also gave the
machaca a unique texture when prepared the traditional fashion. It is rehydrated and then used in popular
local cuisine in Northern Mexico and the Southwestern United States.
I need to find out more about this
food. I have eaten it many times at
local real Mexican restaurants. I think
you can eat it after the process... skipping the drying out…and I bet for as much
as Carolina’s sells in a day…that it had never been dried out…and rehydrated.
