Mexican Restaurant Dining Tips Part 1

Mexican food is a popular choice for many for takeout or dine-in options these days. The Mazatlan Mexican family of restaurants in the Puget Sound region isn’t alone in offering delicious flavors of Mexico to the general public. However, there are certain ways of ordering and eating types of Mexican food that can enhance your dining experience. We wanted to share some of our favorites with you!

Here are some dining tips next time you visit a Mexican Restaurant:

- Try Corn Tortillas instead of Flour Tortillas! The difference between corn and flour tortillas is the main ingredient. Corn tortillas are produced from corn, whereas flour tortillas are produced from wheat flour. Corn tortillas are seen as more authentic coming from a native crop, whereas wheat has only been around since the Spanish arrived in the Americas and brought the crop with them from Europe. Our signature plates give you a choice, so make sure you try the difference the next time you order.

- Ask for a side of Limes! If they aren’t included you can ask for limes with your dish. You can squeeze a lime directly over foods, since there are no seeds to worry about. This will help enhance and add to the flavor. Try fresh lime juice on grilled corn, steak, chicken fajitas, the possibilities are endless. But don’t squeeze all of the lime out because the last bit is the most bitter.

- Ask for Guacamole, Pico De Gallo, and Sour Cream! These sides pair well and can compliment many Mexican Dishes. Asking them as sides allows you to control the amount of flavors based on your personal taste preferences. You can try each one at a time with your dish or all at once. Then you’ll learn to discover your own perfect portion and sides that go with your favorite Mexican Food.
