Pairing Chiles Rellenos correctly — a note on Mexican lager with lime

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Chiles Rellenos. I ordered it with Mexican lager with lime and the complex and layered with chilli elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. masa harina in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Mexican cuisine is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The an Oaxacan restaurant is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Chiles Rellenos with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
