The dim supper club-styled lighting at Mis Sueños (7335 W. Greenfield Ave.) provides a novel atmosphere for its Mexican American menu. Few—if any—other taquerias have an interior like this one. At least a couple of dishes at Mis Sueños (Spanish for “My Dreams”) are as uniquely impressive as the restaurant's visual appearance.
A recent dinner of chicken chileguiles verdes was a heaping generous portion of shredded meat baked with eggs, tortilla chips, white cheese, onion and a jalapeño-tomatillo sauce with avocado and tomato garnishes. That's but one of Sueños’ offerings usually associated with breakfast but found elsewhere on its bill of fare. Another example is machaca, a mix of shredded beef with tomato, onion, and green bell pepper with optional eggs. At many Mexican places, vegetarian offerings are often meatless iterations of other items, but here, sautéed zucchini flavored with garlic and cumin tempts me to visit again soon. Tacos, burritos, tostadas, moles and quesadillas make up much of the rest of Mis Sueños’ Mexican menu, while steaks, ribs, sandwiches and Friday fish fry compose the American side of the menu.
