| When El Mirasol opened in the mid-1980s, it was a tiny hole-in-the-wall where chef Felipe Castaneda quickly won a local following. Because of its popularity, the restaurant expanded, doubling its size and party atmosphere. We like Castaneda’s authentic versions of Mexican standards such as chile verde, shrimp pipian, and pollo en mole poblano, the restaurant’s top seller. We also recommend the very traditional chicharron, crispy pork rinds in a tomatillo sauce. He also offers plenty of heart-healthy dishes, including some vegan options like the tasty spinach enchiladas. Ask about specials that aren’t on the regular menu. In particular, don’t miss the crab enchiladas if they’re on offer; they are subject to seasonal availability. Another location is at 784 N. Indian Canyon Dr., 760-459-3136, Palm Springs. |
