Tres Leches Cake was one of my favorite dishes made at Terrace. For those unlucky few who have not tasted this delectable concoction, Tres Leches Cake is a moist, sweet, milky Mexican dessert. Terrace's mostly Hispanic kitchen staff made it on a regular basis and, whenever I saw it set out in the dining room, I would get almost as excited as I did on lasagna night (almost.) I made my first attempt at it tonight for dinner with my roommates, which was quite the feast. Tash made peanut noodles, Alisa a spicy catfish stew, and Jenny vegetarian lasagna. I googled the recipe and got this one off of about.com:

It turned out really well! I topped it with whipped cream and cinnamon. I bet strawberries would be amazing.

I've never heard of that before, but it looks delicious! Sounds like you guys had a good dinner.
Something I see around here a lot are "dulce leches" cookies - they are cookie sandwiches featuring really buttery cookies with caramel in between them, all dusted in powdered sugar. Another yay area find is the "choco taco". Its a waffle cone shaped like a taco and filled with icecream and then entirely coated with chocolate. I don't know that this was actually invented in Mexico, I assume it is just a salute to the culture. I had a friend who one ate mile 16 of an 18 mile training run and managed not to puke. I was very impressed.
