I visited with one of my ushering friends, Cindi.
Our chips and salsa were delicious. I love the big fried flour tortilla chips that were served with a very hearty salsa.

Cindi ordered the Seafood Enchiladas – two enchiladas filled with seasoned shrimp, scallops…covered with a Mexican cheese sauce.

I ordered the
Super Taquitos – three long-rolled machaca tacos, with sour cream and
cotija cheese. Served with guacamole and
a green chili sauce.

Both meals were served with rice and beans.
Dessert: Tres
Leche Cake…a huge piece that was moist and delicious....with whipped cream and a strawberry on top. It was served with ice cream and sauce. I really like it. "Three milks cake" in Spanish. I have made this cake many times. It is very easy to make.

The food wasn’t great Mexican food but I enjoyed the
building’s history and the comfortable setting.

“In the early 1890s, shortly after the reluctant
surrender of Geronimo in Skeleton Canyon, Arizona was still an untamed
territory and what is now Aunt Chiladas
Dining Room was the general store for the laborers who worked the Rio Rico
Mines. The mines, quite unintentionally, gave this area its name. The men would
emerge from a long day in the mines somewhat intoxicated and dreamy-eyed from
the Mercury fumes. And as they walked the road to the general store, people
were heard to remark, ‘The men are back from The Dreamy Draw.’ ”
