Holy cheese and smothered messy goodness. The wife and I went to the La Puente at Union Heights tonight and brought home a ton of leftovers for under $20. We could have easily both ate one entree and still brought home leftovers. I could not believe how big the Nacho Grande is for $10. Yes it felt good to help a local business, but they impressed too. I left a 30% tip for their efforts and I regret that I didn’t leave 50% or better, damn. Thought I would pass along the good word. They were not very busy for a Friday night but the upside is we got in fast and were seated without wait.
My first date with my wife was at the La Puente on State that burned down. I still love their cheese enchiladas on Flautas. I used to be able to eat 3 and drink beer too. Now if I get two, I have to take home leftovers. Ah youth.
Secret take home strategy at Red Iguana: buy a pint of their mole amarillo to go. Then dip a grilled cheese sandwich in it at home. Trust me. An ultimate comfort food!
