      Oh my - this was delicious; of course it was indulgent with one stick of butter! But it makes a ton. It does require more than a ten minute cook time after the initial boil, more like 15-20 minutes per usual rice instructions.

  • Easy rice pudding (Arroz con leche)

    • Shelmar on September 05, 2019

      Easy and good, not too sweet. Have never had it at her restaurant, not sure it is on the menu.

Since 1979, Los Barrios restaurant in San Antonio, Texas—the heart of Tex-Mex cuisine—has been serving up casero, or home-style, cooking that has charmed food critics and earned an impressive following. Founded with a small investment and a lot of spirit, Los Barrios built its reputation on the authenticity of its cuisine.
