I do like the refreshing, no-mayo light slaw (cabbage-carrot-jalapeño salad) at El Tejaban.<br /><br />By the way, the most expensive pollo rostizado we ever bought was in Colonia Roma Sur, México, D.F., at a place on Av. Bajío that roasted them a la leña. $90 pesitos.<br /><br />Don Cuevashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13512081335891808593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18132936.post-23970829045502983112009-07-03T23:30:54.655-05:002009-07-03T23:30:54.655-05:00I prefer pollo al carbon to pollo rostizado! The ...I prefer pollo al carbon to pollo rostizado! The chickens here come with the barely edible rice, tostaditas and a macaroni salad with ham, carrots and chopped jalapeño. On rare occasions, we get some delicious papas adobadas with our chicken. The prices range from 70 to 80 pesos. <br /><br />I wonder if all of the chicken establishments in Mexico serve terrible rice!Leslie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12084393882026836564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18132936.post-62393642935012625382009-07-02T12:21:15.496-05:002009-07-02T12:21:15.496-05:00Felipe, the deal with El Tejaban is that during th...Felipe, the deal with El Tejaban is that during the week, Abel, (the chief cook and owner) works in Morelia. When he is on vacation, he opens the grill during the week. He has smaller parillas for the slower weekdays.<br /><br />Last week, his car was in the taller, and he couldn't go to work. So he opened the Pollos Asados to try to ganar unos pocos más pesitos.<br /><br />(I like to imagineDon Cuevashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13512081335891808593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18132936.post-24651265565432653992009-07-02T10:57:35.323-05:002009-07-02T10:57:35.323-05:00Don Cuevas, when I opined that El Rey was the best...Don Cuevas, when I opined that El Rey was the best, I was not even taking Tejaban into consideration because we simply never see it open except on weekends, and we dine there virtually every Saturday.<br /><br />You say it´s open sometimes during the week, but I have never seen it open during the week and, indeed, the big sign says SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.<br /><br />So for me, it is not a major Michael Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720359542700663699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18132936.post-8024610528271673932009-07-02T09:57:03.655-05:002009-07-02T09:57:03.655-05:00Steve, maybe the Salem ones were loss leaders.
