I actually am not a huge fan of Tres Leches. However, if you like it, your are in luck. It can be found in nearly every supermarket. Why not do a taste test of all the one's you come across and let us know the results!!

I would describe it as wet and "boozy"......Some times that's a good thing though.

Ok, I think that's what my kids call "mexican water cake"

In nearly every supermarket? I'll have to check that out in December. It's my favorite. Not so much watery as boozy and leche-y, I think. Yum.
My Mexican cousin shared her recipe with me last summer and made it with me, but I haven't attempted it since. Now whenever I see her family (just a few weeks ago in Tucson, actually) I think she feels she has to make it, just for me!
