MEXICAN RESTAURANTS.

can Methods

The fear of encountering nothing
but Mexican clili cooking" south of
the Rio Grande is doubtless one thing
that has contributed to delay the Wis.
its Of a good many who desire to see
this interesting old country, says the
Buffalo Express. 1t need not. The
average traveller will see few typical
Mexican dishes unless he goes into the
interior away from main Travelled
roads. Many of the best restaurants
in Mexico are French, but the cook
ing of the country generally does not
differ from American methods of pre-
pairing food nearly as much as is pop
ularly supposed abroad. Fruits and
vegetables are found here that are not
known on northern tables. and few
highly seasoned dishes are served
that are greatly relished by both ma
tivcs and acclimated foreigners, but
the staple articles. such as roasts.
fowls. steaks. fish and the well-knewn
vegetables. are all cooked in much the
same way that they are in the United
States.
Allowances must necessarily be
made for quality in many places, but
in all the larger cities of Mexico very
fair restaurants are to be found MANY
of them serve excellent meals at very
reasonable prices. Most of the popu-
lar restaurants in the capital serve
dinners or suppers, which are very
much alike, for - cents in Mexican
silver. and regular board, with three
meals a day, for $35 month. The
meals are, as rule, abundant and
very good. considering the prices
charged, For little more than one
dollar in American money table d'hote
meals can always be found at the best
French restaurants that are very good
and that will satisfy all but the most
fastidious.
