"Dish: Queso Flameado Most places serve queso flameado with a side of tortillas you can dip and cheese-pull yourself. Not Ninfa’s On Navigation. They take the spectacle of hot cheese even further. First, a server folds in peppers, mushrooms, and chorizo in front of you, then, in a stroke of Tex-Mex genius, the bubbling hot queso is divided, rolled into fresh flour tortillas, and plated before you can even blink. The entire presentation is so fast that by the time you grab one of the magma-hot tortillas, the cheese still oozes out. It’s excessive and wholly unnecessary, but it tastes so good you’ll probably order it again." - chelsea thomas
