Sol Azteca, a Haiku in 13 Verses – Boston

  

Sol the rising sun

Reminds me of Japan

My haiku tribute:

Bright colors welcome

Typical Mexican warmth

Love the table tiles.

Sangria:

Red like scarlet grape

Inebriating rivers

Of low-end red wine.

Nopalitos in Salsa Verde:

Token veggie dish

Like a dip with no spinach

Like pickled okra

Hot and fresh with chips

I enjoy the novelty

But sour gets old fast.

Enchiladas Vegetarianas:

Well-cooked vegetables

Green sauce was mediocre

Could have used more spice.

Pickled red cabbage

Spectacularly tasty

Accompanies well.

Carne Asada:

Skip the chorizo

Enchilada passable

Loved the rice and beans.

Juicy cut of steak

Good flavor, medium rare

Should have tried the pork.

Fried Ice Cream:

Perfect battering

Best fried shell I ever had

Best thing I ate here

Overall:

The food is just fine,

I wish I ate less cactus

I’m sick of it now.

Neither bad nor great

Overall, no real complaints

I might come again.

Our server was sweet

Helpful with his suggestions

I’d come back for him.
