Maybe it's the implied promise of sunshine and warm weather in every bite, but the Northwest seems to have an obsession with Southwestern and Mexican food. If you, too, need a dose of spicy food, hit the road (el camino) in the Fremont neighborhood. As soon as you sit down, a little dish of spicy nuts will be placed at your table. A few of these crunchy gems later and you'll need to order a margarita, and the house margarita here is the best I've had north of Tucson. Start a meal with the unusual chile rellenos appetizer, made here without batter but decorated with guacamole cream sauce. The pork carnitas are superb -- crunchy and tender at the same time. Don't miss them.
