Unless you are completely Spanish-illiterate, you already know that Aqui es Mexico means "Here is Mexico." Or maybe that should be Mexico is here, since we finally have real south-of-border food in Charlottesville. Our meal began with homemade chips and two types of salsa, one red hot, the other sublimely green. We followed that with a combination meal. Our eyes danced at the crispy chicken taco, covered in a white cream sauce, vegetables, and crumbled cheese. An oozing cheese pupusa was just as delightful. Finally, we bit down into our beef sope, a thick tortilla covered with beans, chunks of beef, lettuce and cheese. Mexico, welcome to Charlottesville.
