Angelica’s Mexican Grill is the Answer to Your Craving for Authentic Mexican Food

I love Mexican food. There are many restaurants that serve up the standard burritos and enchiladas, rice, and beans in the same way that most of us have come to expect. Like me, you may have asked yourself, “Is the food in Mexico this uniform, or is it just the version we have come to accept in the United States?”

The answer to this question is found at Angelica’s Mexican Grill. This is a restaurant that serves authentic Mexican street food that takes you to the busy streets of Mexico City and makes you wish you were a native of that country. Yes, there are burritos, quesadillas, and mulitas, but it is not the standard fare. Amazing food like this can only be found at Angelica’s.

Every day, Angelica’s prepares the meat and other ingredients that give it unparalleled freshness. The carne asada, machaca, carnitas, and grilled chicken are delicious. But for me, it is all about the sweet pork. This recipe was handed down from Angelica’s grandmother, and it is special.

I love the sweet pork quesadilla where the edges of the meat are a little crispy. It is hard to beat. Load up some fresh salsa from the salsa bar, and you have something that will sink deep into your taste buds and keep you coming back again and again. Speaking of the salsa bar, you can judge a lot about a Mexican restaurant by the salsa they offer. In my opinion, there are no better salsas than the fresh varieties available at Angelica’s. Their five fresh salsas come in every level of heat—from mild to very hot—to match your spicy desires and enhance the whole experience. You can also order sour cream and fresh sliced avocado according to your taste, delivering up Mexican food that exceeds your expectations.

You may wonder who this Angelica is. She is the brilliance behind the restaurant that carries her name. Angelica Lancaster came from Mexico City to the United States over eighteen years ago. She was schooled in the delicious food she makes from her mother and grandmother, who were masters of making the food from their region of Mexico, and they passed this talent to Angelica.

There is much to try at Angelica’s Mexican Grill. Quesabirria comes with an amazing dipping sauce. When corn is in season, the elote will explode in your mouth with authentic Mexican flavors. And if you are hungry enough, the torta (steak sandwich) will give you all you can eat for lunch and dinner.

Don’t take my word for it. Head over to Angelica’s Mexican Grill on St. George Boulevard, and explore Mexico City street food for yourself. As Angelica says, “It will bring out the inner Mexican in you.”
