The Tight Topknot
This theatrical look from Marc Jacobs' Spring 2010 show would not look out of place in the corps de ballet—dancer Martha Graham was cited as inspiration—and the high-perched topknot is still popular years later.

"Real" Mexican Restaurants near Delray, Boynton, etc???
- erica Jan 14, 2013 06:17 AM
Driving back to Boynton from The Keys, we passed a slew of interesting-looking, no frills Latin restaurants on US441 in the Lauderhill, North Lauderdale, Plantation area. These looked like places that would be patronized by Mexicans, Brazilians, Nicaraguans, etc. One places that caught my eye was the Taqueria/Tortilleria Michoacana, just to give an idea of what I am trying to describe:
I would love to explore these places, but they are a bit distant from my location.
I've read about Taqueria Dona Raquela in Pompano, mentioned on CH but not recently, and about Tacos al Carbon in Lake Worth. Any comments on these, which are closer to me? I plan to visit Dona Raquel soon, so tips on what to order are welcome..
Can anyone give me a name, or details, of places that might fit the bill in the Boynton,Delray, Hypoluxo area? I do know that I can find Cuban resturants, but not looking for those right now.
Language is not an issue.
Many thanks.
I have been a fan of Tacos Al Carbom for years however i went to the location on 10th ave few weeks ago and it just was not as good as the lake worth one. As for Dona Raquela this is above them all. Also i have not been there but i hear good things about http://www.jefetaco.com/
re: makymark02
Thanks. I did take a ride to Taqueria Dona Raquela today. Certainly, this is an authentic restaurant of the type I am seeking. Friendly service with English spoken by some of the staff, exceptionally clean premises.
I was not wowed by the dishes we tried, but then those represent only a tiny sampling of the extensive menu.
They were out of Tacos de Borrego (lamb tacos). In Mexico these are often reserved for weekends so perhaps this is the case here as well; I should have inquired.
Tacos de Carne Asada ($2.39 each) were pretty good, but Tacos de Carnitas ($4.78 for two) were too dry and lacked substantial porky flavor of first-quality carnitas.
I liked their red sauce, with good smoky (chipotle?) flavor, and the green tomatillo salsa was good as well.
My dining partner, unaccustomed to Mexican fare, was pleased with the hefty chicken burrito ($5.99).
Two aguas were on offer today: Horchata and Melon; the agua de melon was exceptionally good. A bargain at $1.99.
Bill for above, with one Diet coke, was $18.18.
I plan to return to sample other dishes; there is an entire page of specials available only on weekends.
There is a well-stocked and well-priced Mexican grocery/butcher shop just next door to the restaurant. Location is within a small strip mall with ample parking in an adjacent lot.
re: erica
I would do the same with Tacos al Carbon. Just go and order a bunch of stuff and it will put you out about $15.
You can go to the sit-down, table service restaurant on 10th St.
Or, go to the spot in Lake Worth, here you have 3 options. There's table service inside the building, there's the permanently parked Food Truck outside, and then if you show up at 5AM on Sunday morning there is the 24x7 window on the east side of the building.
Personally, I prefer ordering at the food truck and grabbing a table over in the shade near the building. If you like you can bring a cooler with your own beverages. Or get some of their home-made juices including melon, tamarind, etc.
My wife loves their veggie tacos, make sure you get them with avacado. I am a carnivore so I usually get a variety of meat options.
Try Ladinos at the intersection of Military and Hillsboro behind the Chevron station. Huge selection. Excellent Colombian empanads and fantastic cevechie.
re: Disneyfreak
Many thanks. I plan to check out Tacos al Carbon very soon.
re: erica
Finally had a chance to stop in here yesterday to sample a few tacos ($1.99 ech) --chicken; barbacoa (beef); carnitas; carne asada. (They were out of tripe on a Saturday afternoon)
With the exception of chicken, which was, not surprisingly bland, all were very good. As was the cup of tomatillo salsa, included in each order.
I liked this place very much..order from the truck; walk a few steps to order one of their fruit or horchata aguas (I had watermelon) and maybe a big cup of fresh, cubed fruit, take a seat at the outdoor tables, and chow down. Nice atmosphere...friendly folks. Helps to speak Spanish but not at all necessary.
I hope to return soon to try other dishes.
re: erica
Yes I should have warned you away from the chicken, I've gotten it a few times and I am always sorry I didn't stick with beef or pork.
It's also quite a scene at night, there's often music blaring, the place is packed... you definitely feel like you're not in Kansas, or Boca, or Palm Beach anywmore.
re: LargeLife
In answer to the comment by EMac, above, we made another trip to Homestead, and lunched at Rosita's. Very good for florida Mexican: See details here, reposted from last spring. Surprised that the large Latin market near Homestead gets little coverage on this forum..
Just drove past a place I'd never noticed before.
It's on Sample Rd, about 2 blocks W of 95 on the S side.
"Taqueria Latina" - Authentic Mexican
(said the sign in front)
That's all I know, for now...
Here's another "real" taqueria. This one is right in Delray, has been for at least a few years, yet I just found it.
Taqueria Huetamo - NE corner of Linton and Congress
This is a classic strip-mall hole-in-the-wall. No wonder I never saw it, there is NO signage from the street and even hard to see if you are in the strip mall itself.
I had the 3-taco lunch special, w rice and beans, $7.99.
Order at counter, grab a seat and wait for order to be called. Probably 7 or 8 four tops, all told.
Tacos were classic authentic (I chose Al Pastor) w home-made corn tortilla (warmed, yay!), onion and cilantro. There's a self-serve case of about 5 different salsas, most are def on the caliente side.
Rice and beans were a bit skimpy and not particularly memorable. Tacos fine, nothing mind-blowing, but decent.
I can think of much worse ways to spend $8 for lunch. Would love to hear feedback from others.
Facebook page has photos of menu (possibly outdated but you get the idea):

When I was in Delray Beach in the middle of December they were putting the finishing touches of a very cool looking Mexican restaurant right in the Pineapple Grove area almost diagonally across the street from the Hyatt Place....if anybody knows what I am talking about, please advise...if not, I will be returning in early February and will report back.
re: El Chevere
Good news..hope you will, ideed, report back, although the location with attendant real estate prices might argue against the authenticity. But who knows..will eagerly look for your report.
I put Taqueria Huetamo on my soon-to-visit list. Although the name indicates roots in the state of Michoacan, this along might not translate to a menu replete with regional dishes, although we can always hope!!
So things look up on the Mexican front...maybe we can finally get some quality eateries that veer off the typical tourist track.....I know there are a good number of CHers who would support these!
re: El Chevere
You are talking about El Camino... now open indeed.
re: CFByrne
That's it, thanks...I live in San Diego and dine in Tijuana frequently so I will report back about the authenticity.....hopefully, it's not another Americanized lard and guacamole place but time will tell.
re: El Chevere
The menu appears to be Ameri-mex. No al pastor or cochinita pibil but they have a mole negro to top their Americanized burritos. Berkshire pork and Murray Farms chicken are mentioned on the menu. Sourcing local ingredients is highlighted.
re: freakerdude
thx...I can always stick to the tequila.
re: El Chevere
It's essentially on The Ave in Delray. And I like this ownership group.
But the likelihood of getting "authentic" Mex at a high-rent spot like that is about the same as on 5th Ave and 57th Street in NYC.
Their first allegiance is to pay the rent and run a successful business. And to do that in downtown Delray, you probably have to cater to the 99% of folks who are quite happy with margaritas and crunchy shell chicken tacos.
Their marketing says they aim to be authentic, and I believe them. But that can have a way of falling by the wayside when you open in such a touristy spot... as the best-selling items over and over turn out to be the Americanized stuff.
If you want real authentic, I'd drive up and down Dixie or Congress around Lake Worth... look for trucks or in strip malls... or head down to Homestead... in the agricultural areas of S Fla.
El Camino is a cool place - and its a big hit too by the way. But I would set expectations for the hard-core "foodie" folks...
re: CFByrne
Cool...thanks...will save El Camino for drinks (plus, it's stumbling distance back to my hotel--Hyatt Place) and save my Mexican for San Diego....BTW, there's a booming Baja Mex cuisine flourishing in my general area led by pseudo celebrity chef Javier Plasencia....if you ever get a chance and the Mexican restaurants in Florida carry them, the wines coming out of the Guadalupe Valley in Ensensada, Mexico these days are wonderful and very reasonably priced. Santo Tomas is one brand I favor.
There are so many good recommendations here and it's a little south of "Delray, Boynton" but since Dona Raquel and even Rosita's have been mentioned...I must add Allegra Taco's in Oakland Park to the list. When it comes to authentic, Allegra is very high on my list of local favorites!

Macomb Co. Circuit Court reopens following threat
The Macomb County Circuit Courthouse has reopened following an early morning bomb threat.
Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham said that shortly after 8 a.m. Thursday the County Clerk's Office received the first of three phone calls during which time a male caller stated that there was a bomb in the building.
Two Macomb Sheriff "bomb" dogs were called in to perform a floor-by-floor search of the building. They were assisted by a K-9 from the Oakland County Sheriff's Office and another from the Michigan State Police.
After a thorough search, the building was deemed safe (at 12:35pm). Normal daily operations were restored by 2 p.m.
The Sheriff's Department is investigating.

"Let Me Roll It" is a song by Paul McCartney & Wings, and was released on the 1973 album Band on the Run. The song was also released as the B-side to "Jet" in early 1974, and has remained a staple of McCartney's live concerts since it was first released.
The song was seen by critics as a pastiche of John Lennon's sound, particularly the riff and the use of tape echo on the vocals. McCartney, however, never claimed the song was intended as a pastiche of Lennon. McCartney did say the vocal "does sound like John... I hadn't realised I'd sung it like John."[1]
Live versions[edit]
Since it was first released, "Let Me Roll It" has been regularly performed by McCartney as part of his live concerts. He has also included live versions of the song on several live albums, including Wings over America, Paul Is Live, Back in the U.S. (and Back in the World), and Good Evening New York City.
- Paul McCartney - lead vocals, guitar, bass guitar, drums
- Linda McCartney - backing vocals, keyboards
- Denny Laine - backing vocals, guitar
"Let Me Roll It" has been covered by Brendan Benson, Richie Sambora, Jerry Garcia Band, The Grapes of Wrath, Lake Street Dive, The Melvins, Meat Puppets, Mandy Moore, dios (malos), Robyn Hitchcock, Fiona Apple, Big Sugar, St. Paul and The Broken Bones, Teddy Thompson and Paul Rodgers.
Rock Band Music Gaming Platform[edit]
The song was made available to download on 28 December 2010 for use in the Rock Band 3 music gaming platform in both Basic rhythm, and PRO mode which allows use of a real guitar / bass guitar, and MIDI compatible electronic drum kits / keyboards in addition to vocals.

Ministry Reaches Out to Asian Americans
Commentary by the Rev. Judy Chung*
The Asian American Language Ministry Plan is a United Methodist initiative that is expanding the church's reach to Asian-American communities across the United States.
Launched in 1996 by action of General Conference, AALM has been an important resource for developing new ministries as well as strengthening existing ones in Asian-American communities that include at least 10 sub-ethnic groups with 15 different languages.
From 2001 to 2006, AALM has been directly involved in 29 church plants, 42 congregational revitalizations and 18 partnerships with United Methodist annual (regional) conferences. I use the term directly because some of these new churches and congregations have, on their own, initiated and supported development of other church plants.
For example, a Chinese church planted in Oklahoma with the support of the AALM already has given birth to three new church plants in eight years of ministry. The Filipino community has developed its own strategic plan called "Paglagog" to support development of churches in the United States. Hence, the numbers presented here are only the first fruits of much more growth to come.
AALM also supports exciting and innovative models of mission such as a Chinese ministry launched in Louisiana to target the area's growing population of unchurched Chinese people. The initiative was launched through a collaborative effort of the Louisiana Annual Conference, the Monroe District, Trinity United Methodist Church in Ruston, Louisiana, and the United Methodist Board of Global Ministries.
In its first 18 months, the ministry has received more than 24 individuals on professions of faith, including two respected elders and leaders of the mostly Buddhist Asian community. In addition, the Rev. Joseph Zhong Guo, pastor of the Trinity congregation, has established a network of small groups that meet monthly for Bible study in Chinese in the Monroe and Homer areas. This effort is connecting people to local United Methodist congregations in their own neighborhoods. As such, it is truly a collaborative effort of many local churches in the Monroe District to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ and God's message of abundant life to unchurched Asian Chinese Americans.
The Next Generation
AALM is strategically responding to the greatest need of the Asian-American community, reaching out to the next generation by hosting a strategic planning session attended by 12 Asian-American young adult leaders. As a result of this gathering, an Asian-American Young Adult Ministry network has been established for support and sharing of resources. Also, in response to needs expressed by the participants, an Asian-American Young Adult Leadership Summit is scheduled for October 2-4 in Los Angeles, California.
These are just a few examples of the difference that the AALM is making in our church and for the kingdom of God. Moreover, with the approval of $1.6 million budget for the AALM by the 2008 General Conference, our church has affirmed its commitment to continue this effort of reaching out to an increasing number of first-, second-, and third-generation Asian Americans with the emphasis on the following four goals:
Of course, all of these goals cannot be accomplished by any one individual or even one group. It can only be fulfilled when we, as the church, work in partnership with every member of our body. Whether it's the leadership of the annual conference, staff of the boards and agencies, pastors of local churches, or lay leaders of our communities, there is a role that each partner can play in furthering our mission among these expanding immigrant communities.
New Possibilities
Although I recognize and appreciate our churches and leaders who already have committed their resources to Asian-American ministries, there is more we can do. Here are some suggestions:
There are many other ways for us to support the goals of the AALM. For us as United Methodists, the most important step is to commit our time, talents, and prayer to support our fellow Asian-American sisters and brothers to make disciples of all nations and to yield greater fruit for the kingdom of God.
* Chung is executive secretary of Asian American and Pacific Islanders Ministries, United Methodist Board of Global Ministries.
