In geberal, baked tortilla dishes and baked Italian pasta dishes aren’t a huge joy; I’ll gladly eat lasagne and moussaka and enchiladas when they’re served to me. I used to order different dishes at restaurants.
I feel the same way about enchiladas. I have ordered them at a restaurant exactly once, about a year ago, because I wondered if I was missing out on something wonderful. They were fine, but I like other things on the menu better. My wife makes excellent enchiladas, and I've also had really good ones at my friend's house...his mom, who is from Mexico, made them. Both are better than what I had at that restaurant, which is a very good Mexican restaurant we've gone to several times. Some things are just better homemade I guess.
