Pollo Fundido

I was introduced to Pollo Fundito by my awesome niece, Sonja.  After thinking it over, I realize that many of my memories with her include yummy food!  When she was little, my Mom would take Dairy Queen Dilly Bars to share with the whole family.  Many years later, Sonja introduced me to a local Thai restaurant, a Hawaiian fish place, and lately, some awesome new Mexican food!  I love Sonja in many ways, and one of the yummiest is to follow her foodie ways!

I realized that of all my favorite Mexican food restaurants around here, none serve Pollo Fundido - I have had to learn to make it out of a delicious self-preservation - or make lots of visits to Arizona to see Sonja & eat Pollo Fundido!

My grandmother's middle name is Comfert (yes, spell it this way!) because when she was born, she was such a comfort to her mother.  She went by her middle name until she was  grown, & someone teased her about it - she changed to Amy from that time on.
