I like mine with smoked sausage. It is good but hard to keep lit.

Haven't had it like this for over forty years, wow was it good! I think the way I remember, the meatballs had more spice and stuff in them.
I added a touch of comino/cumin and hot red chili powder/cayenne. The oregano in another review sounds good, too! Just a tiny amount, not enough to stand out, but stay in the background of flavors.
The last few I have ordered at restaurants had lots of tomato in the broth and lacked the freshness of the mint.
I admit that at first I didn't want to add the mint, but know now it made the big difference.
Mama really made great Albondigas!!

i'm sure the masa is used for a reason in the albondigas but tradtionally uncooked rice is used in the recipe of the albondiga to hold it together as well as provide a great cheap tasty filler. along with the added rice, its also flavorful addition to use dried oregan, a little dried oregano, cumin, and if you want a little kick some Cheyenne pepper (this ingredient not so traditional but spice lover always enjoy.

I'm always looking for quick recipes and this one was delicious. I cheated and used frozen Mexican meat balls. The clincher is the addition of the mint brightens up the flavor.
