Salsa A La Salsa

1420 Nicollet Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN, 55403

Lorenzo Azria, who owns Salsa a la Salsa with his wife Elvia, and runs it with the help of plenty of family: his daughter waits tables during the day, his son-in-law at night, and the youngest kids help when they can. Lorenzo grew up in the Mexican village of Popo Park, near the town of Amecameca, which is on the side of those legendary volcanoes, Popocatepeti and Ixaccihuati, which are visible from Mexico City."Mixiotes is an ancient, pre-Columbian way of cooking," explained Lorenzo, when I talked to him on the phone for this story, "but they used to use the outer skin of maguey leaves. Then, when I grew up, my mom and her family put cactus leaves in everything, because they grow in our backyards." One day Lorenzo saw a recipe for mixiotes made in aluminum foil - which he thinks is horrible, because it makes the food taste like metal 00 and got to tinkering, and a few decades later we've got this marvelous dish in Minneapolis.Lorenzo had plenty of time to tinker. After leaving the side of the volcano he spent most of the 1970's '80s, and '90s in Los Angeles hotels and catering companies, where he married Elvia (sister to the founder of the Tacos Morelos empire), learned French cooking techniques, watched the California Cuisine revolution, and invented all sorts of dishes that combined authentic Southwestern tastes and techniques with the low-cal, high-taste needs of Los Angeles's high-octane power-players. Lorenzo says he has cooked for Julia Roberts and Jackie Collins, and just ask him about the things he has catered for Danny DeVito's Fourth of July festivities.

Chevy's Fresh Mex

2251 Killebrew Drive, Bloomington , MN, 55425

At Chevys, we love watching people try our food for the first time. Because even if they've never heard of "Fresh Mex," they take one taste and they just get it: Mexican food, carefully made from scratch by real people from really fresh ingredients is unbelievably good. Fresh Mex means:<br>- Salsa blended throughout the day from fire-roasted tomatoes, onions and jalapeos<br>- Soft tortillas made from scratch each day and served hot off "El Machino<br>- Fajitas grilled to order over real mesquite<br>- Tender tamales made with real masa, wrapped by hand each morning.<br>- Pounds of fresh tomatoes, onions, jalapeos and cilantro chopped each morning for our pico de gallo<br>- Hass avocados smashed fresh at your table for guacamole<br>That's the whole idea behind Chevys, where Fresh Mex is more than just a menu slogan. Everything-and we mean everything-is made from scratch every day, right in the kitchen.
We are conveniently located next to the Mall of America.

(The Inn of the Wolves) Otis was born in Taos, New Mexico where "Mama Feloniz" still resides at the tender age of 83 surrounded by two of her four children and still enjoys good health.
