CAFÉ DEL SOL CATERING MENU
Our food is prepared fresh to order using traditional ingredients characteristic of
regional recipes spanning the Interior of Mexico. Through our combined efforts we offer
you some of the classics, like salsa, which has become America’s favorite condiment and
guacamole, first recorded among the Aztecs and dating back to the 1500s, to the ever
popular American staple, chile con queso... ala Mexicana, of course. Our menu starts
with the time honored botanita (appetizers) and takes your palette on an adventure of
recommended pairings covering sides, entrees and sweets sure to heighten your senses.
We wish you buen provecho!
ANTOJITOS (Appetizers)
Rajas de Chile Poblano con Queso (medium) - Our secret is to butter sauté diced onion
& tomato to which we introduce a slight piquant bite with roasted poblano pepper
strips - served with our colorful house red, white and green tostada chips. $7pp
Guacamole Salad (mild) – We use the rich buttery pulp of a Haas Avocado blended
with sweet diced onion, tomato, jalapeno and cilantro along with our secret spices and
serve it chunky style with the red, green and white house tostada chips that would make
any Azteca proud. $6.50pp
La Bandera de Salsas – Our top selling trio of salsas includes an assortment of popular
green (Spicy), table red (Mild) and pico de gallo (Medium) - fabulous with our tostada
chips. $6pp
Empanadas de Flor de Calabaza (Squash Blossom Empanadas) – These beauties are
good on the eye and the tummy as we mix a tasty blend of squash blossom with our
spiced goat cheese - delicious alone or topped with salsa. $8pp
Empanadas de Plátano Macho (Plantain & Black Bean Empanadas) - We use overripe,
almost blackened plántain to balance the tartness of the queso fresco and black bean
mix. $8pp
Mini Tamales - The tamalada can be an arduous task but there’s nothing more pleasing
than the original tamale and yes, we use lard in our maza and fill it with tender pork bits
in a mix of guajillo and ancho red chile as well as with chicken in a mix of green poblano,
tomatillo and cheese... melts in your mouth good! $9.50pp
Sope de Chicharrón en Salsa Verde y Roja – A relative of the tamale, the sope hosts the
savory pork rinds in red chile or tomatillo sauce and queso fresco mix atop, instead of
inside, the masa. $6pp

adds an unexpected crisp tangy flavor to the stuffed shrimp and chicken peppers. $6pp
