Great Mexican Food in Bristol, RI


     While wifey & i were running all the errands, we finally manged to stop in at Nacho Mamma's in Bristol, RI. They've been open for a while now, year and a half or so, we just haven't got there.... Our Loss! Since we've moved home from Arizona, we are always looking for good Mexican, and while we have found a couple of places, nothing quite as fresh or tasty as Nacho Mamma's. My wife enjoyed shrimp tacos with a great salsa verde and i had to dive into the steak tacos with classic pico, another fine choice, and you can forget about the hard shell - soft shell debate.The owner Mike grills fresh flour tortillas for his tacos, and you really get the best of both worlds. Mike was also telling me that he will only use fresh & that's why there were no fish tacos available, they didn't have what he wanted, up to his standards. We also split a basket of chips & salsa. Is it wrong not to get full blown nachos at a place called Nacho Mamma's? When Mike says hot or extremely hot, he means it. the x-hot was a really great blend do of habanero, mango & "some other stuff." Can't blame him for not giving it all up. Anyway, if you're hungry, in Bristol, (worth the trip from anywhere really) stop in and treat yourself!

Lots to Do

     Today was the boy's first day of fourth grade, so we'll have his favorite meal, spaghetti & meatballs, (recipe links to follow) for dinner tonight. Beyond today, it's my week to cook on Thursdays at the Elks, and a menu for 50 or so servings of pulled pork, homemade slaw, BBQ chicken sandwiches, beanies & weenies, chicken salad and couple of green salad offerings had to be purchased and prepped. For now, just chicken is marinating in pimenta moida, a wet Portuguese crushed red pepper and we'll rub down the pork with a good dose Dad's Rub tomorrow.      i will be putting up the posts for the pulled pork and slaw soon, both really basic but really yummy. BBQ Sauce Spaghetti & Meatballs Spaghetti Sauce Dad's Rub Dad's Rub is just my own little spice blend that i use for grilling and sauces and all sorts of other places. It is simply 2 parts Chili Powder- the "Hot" Mexican on the market shelves usually isn't too spicy....
