How to For a better Moon chicken fajita

I finally figured out what's been wrong with my Moon fajita experience. While the first fajita wrap on the 3 per order was tasty enough, my happiness went down hill as I'd eat the next two.

I recently realized the fancy hot sizzling cast iron platter they are served on is over-cooking the chicken and veggies as they sit in front of you. Which yields tough meat and reduced sauce that's too thick and bleh after the minutes tic by.

So about a month ago I had them serve it on a regular plate, with the sauce on the side and TA-DAH-instant satisfaction throughout the entire meal!

A huge improvement.

 

Mooon Café doesn't know how to make "Mexican" food...period. I found if I wanted Mexican food, I had to make it myself. Got myself a tortilla press and brought over Masa Harina from the US to make my own corn tortillas for homemade enchiladas.

 

My crew and I regularly eat out at Mooon and while it doesn't bring back memories of flavors back home over a period of time can be an acquired taste. We generally order everything new on the menu and a few of the staples that add to a meal. A single or double diner doesn't have the luxury to being adventurous all at once.

The nacho supreme is built in layers of some familiar and not so familiar ingredients that you may not encounter if you just eat a layer at a time. The chips are exceptionally thin and tasty cooked in fresh oil. The cheese and sour cream are the inspired variety and sure miss the mark on familiar taste. I personally am not a jalapeno fan and find them overpowering in this dish. The layer where one could think the refried beans would be encounter a mystery ingredient.

The next time we have the urge to order the nacho supreme I think I will ask them to hold the jalapeno and bring my own Tostitos salsa and queso.

A Mexican lady taught me how to make authentic Mexican enchiladas, so the ones I make are probably not what most Americans are used to, either!!

 

I lived in San Diego for a long time and I think that the mexican food at all of the road side taco stands was better than any tex-mex, Philippine mexican, or east coast of the US mexican food I have ever had. They also made announcements in Spanish at Walmart.
