"The sight of two women in the narrow walkway chopping vegetables and warming corn tortillas had me feeling optimistic. A third woman told us to wait a few minutes, then explained that the place is run by a woman from Puebla, Norma Morales, whose husband is from Hidalgo. We decided we’d try the lamb anyway, another glistening consolation prize wrapped in a corn tortilla." - Bill Esparza
