So last night, Dinah and I went to a restaurant for dinner. We'd decided to get Mexican food because there are not a lot of good Mexican places in St. Paul (surprise!). Sometime during her conference, it was recommended that Dinah and I go to Los Dos Molinos. It was supposed to be authentic and spicy. As you can see from the website, they consider themselves to be New Mexican style cuisine. I am not sure if they mean it's a new type of Mexican cuisine or cuisine from the state of New Mexico. Either way though, it was good.
I can't speak that much for whether it's authentic, being that I'm from Iowa and I've spent a lot of my life in the midwest, but it was certainly spicy. And good. Oh my was it good. I got the pork-filled chile relleno and Dinah had an enchilada and tamale. Her enchilada and my relleno were both covered with a fried egg, which I don't ever remember seeing before, but it was genius.
This was seriously the best Mexican food I have ever had. I left with sweat dampening my neck, ears and hair, but I finished the meal because it was so good. I left thinking that for all the oddity I feel about Arizona, meals like this make me think I could probably live in an area that has snakes. Well, maybe not probably.
And for people in New York, they apparently have a location out there. Well worth a try.
