Home Cooked Mexican

Since moving to the Bay Area I have had one void in my diet . . . a home cooked Mexican meal. There has been times when my mother has sent frozen tamales and chile rellenos for us, but it isn't the same as having a freshly prepared meal from home. It doesn't help that we couldn't find quality hand made tortillas, until now. The other day we Yelped tortillas in the Mission and came across La Palma. Finally fresh tortillas! We made some beans, rice and threw in a few tall Modelo Especials and we constructed one of the best meals to date. I really can't emphasize how difficult it is to find Southern California style Mexican food. Everybody up here puts rice in their burritos and wraps them in tin foil. Also, don't even think about ordering a bean and cheese burrito because they don't have refried beans as an option. Lolita's would rule up here.
