EXPERIENCE across similar restaurants, almost like a standard. Guacamole or a cheese enchilada with red sauce are normally my Mexican go-to barometers. Later that night, I tried the guacamole and as expected, it did not disappoint. Simple but good, it was fresh and creamy with chunks of avocado throughout and a noticeable citrus kick, like the salsa. My wife sampled it as well and voiced her approval. Even though a unique part of La Pasadita and the floor plan, the Mexican market is small and somewhat out of place. But as I walked around and 20 EXTOL : OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2018 EXTOL EATS explored, I realized there was everything one would expect in keeping with the overall authenticity of La Pasadita. The market offered all things Goya and La Preferida brands. There were spices, canned goods, sauces, snacks, cookies and candy to choose from as well as drinks and an assortment of Mexican cheeses and chorizo in the cooler. I plan to make a return trip soon and advise you to climb aboard the train at La Pasadita, too. Until next time.
