A Unique "Turducken" Thanksgiving at Taqueria del Barrio
Spice up your Thanksgiving table this year, and let Taqueria del Barrio do some of the work for you in the process. Chef and owner Anna Bran-Leis is preparing a Mexican turkey roulade (her take on turducken), wrapping turkey around pork loin, wrapped around house-made chorizo, resulting in a savory, showstopper Thanksgiving entrée. The Mexican turkey roulade can be ordered in advance by phone at 202-723-0200. It is priced at $16 per pound (each pound feeds two people), and is offered alongside homemade cheese poblano tamales for $3.99 each. Orders can be placed now through Monday, November 20th, and all orders will be available for pickup from the restaurant from noon to close on Wednesday, November 22nd.

The restaurant is closed on November 23rd for the holiday, but you can enjoy the Mexican turkey roulade (aka Turducken) as a special entree at the restaurant on Friday, November 24th through Sunday, November 26th. The roulade will be $13.99 and comes with a cheese poblano tamale, as well as cranberry and orange salsa.
