When you really think about it, turkey does not have to be the Thanksgiving centerpiece. With so many delicious foods available at the market, it could be anything. If you feel like something tamale-related for dinner instead, talk with Antonio at Mixteca Catering. He and his family (with mother Doña Paula as chef) will create magnificent tamales for you. At the next market on November 19th, they will be offering pre-orders of their small tamales for $30 a dozen. Get in touch with the Mixteca team at Facebook, the Mixteca website, or call (503) 395-7022 to order yours!
In addition to Thanksgiving dinner, Mixteca is also a great place to stop for lunch at the market. Two items of note on their menu are the Oaxaqueño tamale and the Mole Plate. The Oaxaqueño contains chicken and Doña Paula’s special mole sauce. The Mole Plate includes roasted chicken, mole sauce, rice, black beans, mixteca salad, and is served with a blue corn tortilla. The scents coming from their corner of the farmer’s market are positively intoxicating. It is a must see!
Mixteca is based in the Portland Mercado not far from Montavilla, so if you’d like to see them for lunch on other days of the week, feel free to stop by.
