El Trapiche is indeed a terrific restaurant and you are right that it is a bit pricey. We found that you can do well by having a few appetizers, which are big, and then split a main dish. That is more than 2 can really eat.

I also love the chiles nogada, which are made with walnuts. Because they tasted a bit sweet, I asked the waiter what kind of nut they used and he did not know, so he brought me one from the kitchen. It was not a walnut, but pecans. Still great.

For food lovers, here is the story. This dish was invented in Puebla to celebrate the victory that created Mexican independence. For this reason, the GREEN chile is stuffed and then mostly covered with a WHITE nogada sauce and then it always must be sprinkled with RED pomegranite seeds. There you have it.............The colors of the Mexican Flag. Wave them high and dig in. It sure beats a Blueberry and strawberry shortcake for the US of A July 4th celebration.
