They also have the dry light colored variety which is good for cooking. <br> Zamora also has several other items available deli-style to go, including tongue, green chile pork , barbacoa---the origin of the word barbeque---which is barbecued goat, a gamey, an acquired taste. <br> Zamora also makes their own chorizo, which is a bit more spicy than store bought. Home made Menudo, available weekends only, is superb. <br> There is sit-down service, but Zamora gets very crowded on weekends so I take my order to go. You can see the lady at her comal making the thick hand-made corn tortillas. <br> Free parking at the lot at the ... more
