That photo looked good, so I snagged it. I have a photo of the
chicharrons we ordered on FB, but I can not post it here. La Mihiocana
is a big chain, although not as big as Fiesta. The Mexican meat market &
store we go to, is called La Hacienda, they have always been friendly.
We need to go back, because I am not going to cook chicharrons or menudo
at home. They keep bringing you tortillas even though you say, no mas.
