Some carne asada with my latest batch of verde sauce. Jalapeno, serrano, tomatillo, red onion, apples, roasted garlic, hogsweed, orange wild brazil, a few caribbean red habs, lime, acv, smoked kosher salt, onion and garlic. It's a sneaker. Don't taste the heat at first then it starts to build on the lips and tongue.

That's their gringo style (lettuce and cheese) . Typical is just onions and cilantro but I asked for gringo add onion. Best Al Pastor around though.

it's taken me quite a few years of eating fancy lettuce to realize that nothing beats iceberg. Especially in a wrap or salad. Just keeps that nice cold crispness much better than spinach or any of those weeds they put in salad blends.

Iceberg is great. Love a good wedge salad or just broken leaves on a sammie....
 
Romaine I hate except in caesar salad. It's got lots of white/bitter/watery leaves... the hearts are the worst, the outer leaves are better, go figure... (people seem to love the hearts).
 
I like butter lettuce, it is crisp yet tender somehow, and flavorful... just bought some for french bread pizza/salad night, will post in another thread
