Of course I haven't had 'real' Mexican food but that place in Covent Garden isn't too shabby...

Ok, I know what ancho tastes like, and chipotle, but what's guajillo?

(Note to self: need to go to Penzey's)

guajillo info:

and:

Guajillo combined with the Pasilla and Ancho from the Holy Trinity of chiles used to prepare the traditional mole sauce.

i'll admit i haven't used it much in the past, but intend to use it all them time now!
