Just a reminder in case you want to slide the time, as I'm sure you know, Angela's closes at 3pm on Sunday.

Third them Angela's chilaquiles, especially under the watchful eye of mamá. A great way to start a weekend.

Just got back from a chilaquiles run at Angela's... fantastic! I felt like I was in Mexico.

(The red tint is due to the sun coming through the curtains. I even did some (very basic) color correction.)

chof, would you plse describe them? they are prepared differently depending upon chef's region.
thanx

Tortillas, tremendously good sauce (a spicy red sauce), and then layers of chicken, onion, and cheese. Also, sour cream, which I had on the side. And some avocado slices. Oh, and a couple eggs, perfectly cooked. Quite satisfying. Good thing I had to work in the garden all morning.

[opinionatedchef]

chof, they don't do it as a 'casserole', all baked together? they layer it to order?
thnx again.

[Alcachofa]

That's "Señor Chof" to you... :-)

Not sure how they made it, but I don't think it's baked. The tortillas and sauce are cooked together in a pan (to order). At least, that's what I thought, and nothing I saw contradicted that.

I don't know about good ones but I would certainly avoid the chilaquiles at Cantina La Mexicana in Somerville. Bland sauce, not the least bit hot even though I ordered them spicy. The chicken was just a thin cut breast grilled on the flattop, chopped up and piled next to the tortillas. I didn't like the way the tortillas were cut up in small squares rather than kept whole or at least large triangles.

I would go with Angela's in East Boston...Had them yesterday and they were terrific!

[bostonsooner]

Agree with the Angela's recs. That's probably my favorite dish there. Usually get the green sauce with it, and they are just top notch.

El Sarape-Weymouth landing. This place has delicious,fresh food. Chilaquiles-tasty!

I had some pretty decent chilaquiles at brunch on a Sunday at Tu Y Yo in Somerville.

Sorry to be snarky, but the answer to "where do I go" is Leave Massachusetts.
Phoenix would be a good start.

[Prav]

Yeah, unfortunately I'm not able to travel right now, so I wanted to know of places in the Boston area.

[yumyum]

Rubee's house in Phoenix. ;-)

Or, if you can't get there, Angela's are pretty good. I LOVE chilaquiles!

[Alcachofa]

I love them too. The best I've ever had was in Phoenix. ;-)

[deglazer]

Haven't tried either but Angela's has it on the breakfast menu (without egg) and Jalisco has it with egg (a la migas)

[erwocky]

Angela's definitely comes with eggs. And I'm far from an expert on the dish, but I love Angela's chilaquiles.

[deglazer]

Good to know! I must have misread the menu.
