In case anyone is wondering about Mexican
Tried Campo Azul in the Spruce Creek plaza on 441 on 3-11-24. First time visit since it opened. Food was very good; a combo plate that included a tamale and two other selections, all were very tasty (about $12) , the other entree we tried was enchiladas verde, two chicken and two shredded (not ground) beef, per serving (think it was $12.99). The chicken was all white breast meat and not the "stewed" type of filling usually found in chicken enchilada filling. All food was very tasty and the service from waiter was very watchful, attentive. A good experience.

Thanks for the recommendation
|
How was the verede sauce? Spicy? Creamy?
|
We usually prefer the kind of places that have home-made horchata.
|
I'd been wondering about that place, thanks for the review! I'll probably give it a try in the next couple of weeks, as a result.
|
I’ll check it out, but so far I have yet to find a decent Mexican restaurant in Florida that serves authentic Mexican cuisine.

There are taquerias scattered around. Not many but some. It's not haute cuisine, but it's good hardy food that sticks to your ribs and is relatively inexpensive. A couple of carne asada tacos on home-made double-shell soft tortillas, with cilantro, onion, and roja, "paired" (see I can be presumptuous too!) with a bottle of mandarin Jarritos is only around $7. Eat al fresco, there is no "in" in which to dine at the canopy-covered food truck. Most of the people eating at nearby tables are Mexican, it's one of their go-tos for lunch. |

Two elderly women are at a resort, and one says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." |
We love Mexican and tried Camp Azul twice. Both times service was great, but food was very average and much pricier than other restaurants we frequent. Fajitas were $20! Salsa was OK - fairly bland for my taste. El Ranchito's had better prices and flavor, but my favorite is Los Maguey's in Belleview. Not sure if they got new cooks, but my last 4 times there have been some of the best Mexican food I've had anywhere. Their salsa verde is amazing!

You know I didn't even notice if they had agua de horchata on the menu ! Will check that out this next weekend, we're going back. I love my own recipe (got it living in Mexico for work). Really simple one, I'll share it here, but you probably have your favorite home made too ! 2 cups long grain rice (I use Texmati brand) stick Mexican Cinnamon, 4 cups hot water, 8 cups extra water to finish the drink, ¾ cup sugar ( I use Florida raw organic), 2 teaspoon pure vanilla, cup milk (I use 2% or whole, whatever I have). |

That's true, and you may not ever find that. Many owners all over Florida DO know authentic methods, meats, and ingredients, but like Asian cuisines, most Americans do NOT want 100% authentic dishes as they don't like many of the authentic ingredients, and in many cases the preferred protein sources in many countries are not the same as here in the U.S. For instance, Publix does not routinely carry goat meat, one of the top choices for "tacos" (also quite different than the typical American's concept of a "taco"...lol) in Mexico. Have to make the most of vacations in Mexico we've found, eat your fill of authentic while there and enjoy before you get back to "Tex Mex" or Taco Bell....LOL ! |
