They were out of turkey.

They sure were.

Which ended up being the punch line of a rather funny ordering scenario. After informing us they were out of the chicken, the waitress patiently listened to my litany of successive drink orders (which I was reading straight off the menu), only to interject, "we don't have any ... we don't have any ... we don't have any ..." after each one. Finally I said, "well, why don't you tell me what you do have," and a drink was settled on at last. Then she asked what I would have to eat. I said, "the turkey," and of course her response was, "we don't have any."

It wasn't the least bit annoying - we had a good laugh about it. (I think the poor girl was afraid to tell us that half the menu had gone AWOL).

Definitely give them a couple of weeks before you go - they're still in deep opening chaos. I don't wish to pass judgment on them until they're on their feet.

I just discovered that Chichilo (which is an Oaxacan mole) contains burnt tortillas. Nevertheless, your Coloradito should not have.
