Estela's的点评
点评：Stopped in for lunch ... saw menudo on the menu and I'm thinking it ought to be good stuff because there's a whole bunch of "People's Choice" and "Best Chili" in Cheyenne plaques on the wall which suggest that Estela knows her stuff.
What I was expecting was a savory bowl of tripe and corn in a pork broth with onions and mild spices, served with a wedge of lime, oregano, and diced onions. Kinda' like I'd been getting at every Mexican restaurant I'd eaten menudo at for over 70 years.
What I got was a small shallow bowl of a thin broth with some onions, corn, seasonings, and a walloping dose of chili pepper heat ... spicy enough that my lips were still burning 15 minutes after eating the stuff. A totally out of balance concoction, without any savory flavors from a well prepared broth ... and the bowl held but 4 tiny pieces of tripe. Normally, one expects to find some remnants of the pork that was used for the broth, and at least a few good sized chunks ... if not more ... of tripe. But this bowl was missing both items, and the 4 pieces of tripe were literally not more then tiny 1/8" little shreds of that item.
At $8 for the serving that was a scant bowl of broth, I'd almost say this place was a rip-off. By way of comparison, Mi Terra in Cheyenne serves a large bowl of menudo that is savory and loaded with the missing items from what I was served today, accompanied with the customary side items. As well, they serve two large tortillas that are heated and wrapped in foil ... unlike Estela's where they put 3 small cold flour tortillas on the side of the plate. The gap in quality and quantity of food and concept between these two restaurants is huge ... but that's pretty typical of every other Mexican restaurant I've eaten at around the Western USA.
To say that Estela's completely blew it on this item would be an understatement. I can't speak for the other items on the menu, but if the posole is a similar item but without the "tripe", it would be a loser, too.
As one who grew up on Mexican dishes, living close to the border and being able to make many trips to Baja California for years ... and acclimated to capsaicin heat as a complement to the primary flavors of the cuisine ... what was served today was an absolute insult to the concept of Mexican cooking with fresh savory flavors mixed with a balance of spices.
The only reason that this review didn't get a lower rating was that the waitress, who we've seen for years in Pine Bluffs at the restaurants there ... did as good a job as she's always done for us in the past.
IMO, if you're seeking Mexican food in the area, you'll do far better in Cheyenne. There's a range of restaurants from a few of the smaller authentic places to the big "gringo" menu outfits such as The Tortilla Factory or Guadalajara.
Alternatively, Sadie's in Pine Bluffs is a local gem and their version of green chili ... without any pretensions of being a Mexican restaurant is pretty good.

翻译：停下来吃午饭……在菜单上看到 menudo，我认为它应该是好东西，因为墙上的夏延牌匾上有一大堆“人民的选择”和“最好的辣椒”，这表明 Estela 认识她东西。
我期待的是一碗美味的牛肚和玉米配洋葱和温和香料的猪肉汤，配上一片酸橙、牛至和洋葱丁。有点像 70 多年来我在每家墨西哥餐厅都吃过 menudo。
我得到的是一小碗稀薄的肉汤，里面有一些洋葱、玉米、调味料和大量的辣椒热……辣到我的嘴唇在吃完这些东西 15 分钟后还在燃烧。一种完全失衡的混合物，没有任何来自精心准备的肉汤的咸味……碗里只有 4 小块牛肚。通常，人们希望找到一些用来做肉汤的猪肉残余物，以及至少一些大小合适的大块……如果不是更多的话……牛肚。但是这个碗两样东西都没有了，4 片牛肚实际上不超过 1/8 英寸的小碎片。
一碗肉汤的价格为 8 美元，我几乎可以说这个地方是骗人的。相比之下，夏延的 Mi Terra 提供一大碗美味的菜单，里面装满了我今天所提供的缺失的食物，以及惯常的配菜。此外，他们提供两个大的玉米饼，加热并用箔纸包裹......不像 Estela，他们在盘子的一侧放了 3 个小的冷面粉玉米饼。这两家餐厅在食物质量和数量以及概念上的差距是巨大的……但这是我在美国西部附近吃过的所有其他墨西哥餐厅的典型情况。
说 Estela 在这个项目上完全搞砸了是轻描淡写的说法。我不能代表菜单上的其他项目，但如果 posole 是类似的项目但没有“牛肚”，那也将是一个失败者。
作为一个吃着墨西哥菜长大的人，住在靠近边境的地方，多年来能够多次去下加利福尼亚州旅行……并适应了辣椒素的热量，作为对菜肴主要口味的补充……提供了什么今天绝对是对墨西哥烹饪概念的侮辱，新鲜的咸味混合了香料的平衡。
这篇评论没有得到较低评级的唯一原因是女服务员，我们多年来一直在派恩布拉夫斯的餐厅见过她......她做得很好，就像她过去一直为我们所做的那样。
IMO，如果您正在该地区寻找墨西哥美食，那么您在夏延会做得更好。这里有一系列餐厅，从一些较小的地道餐厅到大型“外国佬”菜单，如 Tortilla Factory 或瓜达拉哈拉。
另外，派恩布拉夫斯的萨迪 (Sadie's) 是当地的瑰宝，他们的绿辣椒版本……不假装是一家墨西哥餐厅就相当不错了。
