The Pambazo itself was a mix of flavors and cooking techniques that did not overpower one another. The pineapple resurfaces in the Baby Tacos al Pastor con Pina. Here the meat was very tender on the six mini tacos served on the platter. There's no hard liquor or wine. But there's beer, both domestic and Mexican imports that go beyond the usual Corona and Dos XX to include Negra Modelo, Pacifico and Bohemia.
Breakfasts are big at La Villa.
On Saturday and Sunday there is menudo. The platillos or entrees offer chicken and beef selections like chicken in a mole sauce, chiles rellenos or carne asada, which was served with two grilled jalapenos and green onions as garnish to the thin, grilled meat. The plate also came with a heap of guacamole and pico de gallo, along with rice and beans. Even these were more authentic. The rice had peas and the frijoles were topped with crumbled cotija cheese, not the gloppy orange stuff preferred on this side of the border.
