“Fundido” means molten, and you'll see that here, with cheese, cream sauce, and hot sauce coming together to build a molten cheese sauce of dreams. You'll drizzle it over pork and peppers, as well as crunchy lettuce, and wonder why we don't make more of our salads molten. From your lips to our R&D chef's ears!
