Was assigned a work project in Coalville. For lunch I looked up nearby restaurants. Neena's Market was so highly reviewed, how could I pass on the opportunity to try "The Absolute Best Al Pastor" according to one reviewer. Or "The Absolute Best Rojo Menudo" 😂 Geekishly raved by another well traveled and cultured reviewer.
Tanta dinamita, para muy poca mecha. Is a saying where I'm from.
If your Al Pastor is not being sliced from a meat "Trompo" spinning around an open flame, then you're getting Adobada. It's like mistaking Bar-B-Q with grilling, absolutely not the same.

When we started eating the chicken tacos we ordered, we just looked at each other like, “you have got to be kidding me!” We plan in going again before we head back home from this ski trip. Amazing food!!! I plan on buying the mango salsa and guacamole before...
Read moreI love Neena's they have the best Mexican groceries and spices and they are so nice! I love ❤ their BIG mangos, I get some every fall to can, so I can have them whenever I want! She has them almost year round. Neena & her husband taught me how to make enchilada sauce without the hot spices from fresh peppers they sell, wow was it better than any can or package! I love stopping in to just say hi and see what new things she has in store! Besides, they are such a nice family business and the sweetest people you could...
