Or otherwise why would anyone want to go all the way to Karmiel to find the same processed foods available at Shufersal? Thanks Cecilia Hi David,

Are you implying that your tortillas are actually fresh home-made tortillas with no presevatives?

Or otherwise why would anyone want to go all the way to Karmiel to find the same processed foods available at Shufersal?

Thanks
Cecilia

I made Aliyah 2 years ago and that is what I have been saying. I am from So. Cal and dreaming of Mexican food. The biggest problem I find here is the lack of a decent tortilla! I don't get it, why is it such a challenge? The ingredients to make tortillas whether flour or corn are so simple. A good flour tortilla needs some flour, fat ( oil, margarine, butter) some water and salt. Tortillas are the foundation of Mexican food. Mexican food is misrepresented here with these gross vacuum packed frisbees with a list of preservatives that start with E10 and end at E100. Tortillas need to be made fresh and eaten fresh. Most of the places that serve Mexican food use these packaged cr--! I think if Israelis had the real tortilla with different fresh fillings ( fresh meaning not El Paso canned beans and sauces)they would love it. I am really curious if any of these restaurants mentioned such as Caballero, Amigos, or Mike's place make there own tortillas. My next advice is to the new restaurant opening Mike's Kitchen. Less is more. Read the book from Good to Great by Jim Collins. I have never had a good meal at a restaurants that offer multiple types of food such as Italian, Mexican, Chinese. Listen to all the chefs such as Gordon Ramsey. People don't like a lot of options. They like good food. Have a few dishes, but make them GREAT. Even if it is just a mean Mexican quesadilla, make it great and people will come flocking. There is not much competition here in Israel. Anyone that offers any decent Mexican food here can corner the market. I’m with you girlfriend! I made Aliyah 2 years ago and that is what I have been saying. I am from So.

Is it Kosher? Why don't we have any Jewish Mexican immigrants open a mexican place in Jerusalem! Just so unfair. Even just a little burrito shack. I saw on Emek Refaim they are opening: a new cafe/bakery, a bakery and a pizza place. Did I mention there is a pizza place 3 blocks from it and another pizza place 3 blocks from that...and of course there are tons of bakeries and cafes. Ahhhhh!!! Karen-
