Sisters, Stew, and Sass
S11 E1102 - 26m 46s
Don’t complain, don’t ask for the bathroom, and definitely don’t ask for salt. On the river Ramos, two sisters - who didn’t ask for your opinion - have taken a shack that serves one dish, traditional cortadillo stew, and made it into a must-visit restaurant. Ten minutes down the road in the town of Allende is another restaurant who uses traditional stews in their famous empalmes, or stacked tacos.
