People love to grumble about the quality of Mexican food in Vermont, and for a long time, I’ve agreed with them. Our tacos have been Americanized to a level beyond Tex-Mex, and nobody needs them to be filled with mushroom chorizo. There’s been little hope of a well-made mole, let alone a blush-pink mole rosa.
