MesoMaya

MesoMaya, yet another interior Mexican restaurant (a wonderful trend), opened last night in North Dallas. The menu describes the food as "an adventure into the fresh, bold & earthy flavors of authentic interior Mexican cuisine."

Budin Azteca figures prominently on the menu. Translated as Aztec pie, it's a layered dish that looks like lasagna. Online sources suggest it's usually served as an appetizer, but the ones at MesoMaya are priced more like the other entrees. House tacos, in house-made corn tortillas, include guajillo pulled chicken and adobo marinated brisket. Salads look like Mexican-New American fusion, with beets and arugula. But I love the idea of a mojito of the day.
