>I’ve waited to try Anepalco’s because I wanted to make sure that all the accolades it’s been receiving has been well deserved. I guess whatever hype this place has been getting is well worth it and more! This very small hole-in-the-wall, mom and pop establishment is hidden in a small nondescript strip mall, easily missed if you aren’t looking for it. Once you enter though, the hustle and bustle of people inside, combined with the friendly staff makes you feel so very welcomed. We mainly came for the chilaquiles (pictured) but since we wanted to try some other things as well, we also ordered the Border quesadilla and the Cuban sandwich. Sandwiches come with your choice of soup or salad and I got their soup of the day — cream of cauliflower — which was very nice but not scorchingly hot enough for me. When the food arrived I immediately wished I had also ordered the chilaquiles. My Cuban sandwich was very good, but it wasn’t the traditional Cubano sandwich I was used to. The quesadilla was filled with braised pulled pork and black beans served with rice, pickled onions, and this wonderfully tasty green sauce — absolutely delicious! But the star was definitely the chilaquiles where the tortillas were smashed and presented in a round and topped with egg, sour cream, pico de gallo, avocado and an out of this world chile sauce around the plate. This was chilaquiles like I’ve never had before, this was not only a work of art, but a mouthwatering orgasmic experience! I’m in love with this place and whenever I am craving chilaquiles I believe I will be faithful and only return to Anepalco’s Cafe!
