MeXo a restaurant specializing in Prehispanic Mexican cuisine. It was named Grand Rapids restaurant of the year by Grand Rapids Magazine.  Apparently it's been in business for 7 years and I had never heard of it. Here most everything is made from scratch and not Tex-Mex. Much of the food is gluten and dairy free because wheat and cattle were introduced into Mexico from Europe.  Rose had a mezcal margarita with a Oaxacan twist and a hearty Sopa Azteca. I had a Maya Torta de Pollo. A chicken sandwich on special bread that included beans and guacamole- a lovely combo that for me needed more spices. Aztec flourless chocolate torte that was served with a very unusual but delicious tomatillo gastrique.  Great experience overall! 

 

(Rose bought the pricy hat and  I did not!) The people have spoken! It's a very red map!  The president!  The Senate!  The House -- maybe! Trump says he has an unprecedented and powerful mandate!  Rose and I are on different points of the same spectrum but we both are celebrating!  (she bought the pricy hat and  I did not!) We are hoping many things will change but time will tell. Here's to the next 4 years!!!
