Carne en su jugo, or meat in its juice.

Pork ribs or carne en su jugo at La Posada

1930 Springwells St., Detroit; 313-841-1690; laposadadetroit.com

It's the tomatillo-based green sauce that lifts these ordinary meats into delectableness. "Meat in its juice" is morsels of steak stewed with tomatillos, bacon, jalapeños, onions, garlic, and cilantro. Pork ribs, also cut up but with bones left on, come in that same mouth-watering sauce. —Jane Slaughter
