Mean Mexico City Cuisine

I used to go to La Parrilla Suiza nearly every week when I lived near the northwest location on Ina Road. But since I moved to central Tucson, I rarely find myself making the trek to that location. While on Margaritour 2008, however, I found another location with the same great food, with at least half of the ambience of the northwest location. La Parrilla Suiza is a self-proclaimed "authentic Mexico City cuisine" restaurant. They cook many of their dishes on charcoal or they are grilled. This is what they say sets them apart from the northern Mexican cuisine that is frequently served in Tucson and in neighboring border towns. Long-time bartender Manuel has worked for the company for nearly 25 years. He told me that they also have several locations throughout Mexico and others in Phoenix as well.
I ordered the cheese enchiladas as I am a creature of habit and find it difficult to stray from such a perfect dish. As expected, the enchiladas were as delicious as I remembered them. The margarita I had is called "The Widow of Oz," and is made up of Tres Generaciones Plata tequilla, melon liqueur and Sweet and Sour. The tequilla is one of my favories and is made with 100% Blue Agave. The margarita was decent but I prefer their house margarita since it's made sanz the melon liqueur. Beyond the enchiladas I love that La Parrilla Suiza gives you three types of salsa with your homemade tortilla chips. One is a creamy avocado based salsa which I would call my favorite. But the hot salsa is a good addition to the milder dishes and the pico de gallo is delicious and made from all fresh ingredients. The bar is a little dark but it's cozy and Manuel "Manny" gave us great service. His English was very broken but I could tell that he loved the company he works for and he kept the chips and salsa coming. I'm glad I found this other location and maybe one day I'll try something new there! The one thing it lacks is the mariachi band that always seems to be playing at the Ina Road location. While it can be rather loud at times, the band really adds to the atmosphere and makes you feel like you're in Mexico City.
