Mexican food and culture, on both sides of the border

Una bandera

A Mexican friend was kind enough to show me a “bandera” a few days ago. It’s a shot of lime juice, tequila and sangrita, and the colors represent the Mexican flag. You can order it with any tequila you want, and you sip it in the order I mentioned. (Yeah, it’s a sipping thing — no shooting.)

This bandera came from a bar in our new neighborhood. We’re actually moving this Saturday, yay! Our new address is on a street called Rio Papaloápan. We had semi-high hopes for this street:

Calle Rio Poo
