out and about: mustangs & burros at the estancia
One of our old fav’s mustangs & burros is a fantastic stomping ground for happy hour, entrees, and a phenomenal tequila offering. The estancia has gone through many changes throughout the years - with mustangs & burros being a part of that… but the outside patio is still there, and a great place for late lunch or dinner.
juan cordero ipa, cerveceria insurgente
lalo blanco on the rocks
This particular trip was after an not particularly fun dr’s visit, so we started out with beer and a cold tequila.
We’ve had lalo at a few different festivals around town, it’s from jalisco, additive free, and quite delish.
Cheers.
totopos: house made salsa rojo, salsa verde, warm tortilla chips
Biggest bummer is that chips and salsa are no longer free. And m&b has the best salsa. It’s 100 percent jamie’s type of salsa. So yummy. Also the chips weren’t warm. Tasty, but if you’re gonna promise me fresh warm chips, I want warm chips.
lallier brut rose
Can’t have too much tequila, so luckily that’s where an excellent glass of sparkling rose fits in.
baja halibut al pastor taco: grilled pineapple salsa, shredded cabbage, chipotle crema
No longer on the main menu, tacos are part of the m&b happy hour menu- so if it’s a taco you seek, make sure to get there before 6pm.
While I can’t attest to these particular tacos with my pineapple allergy - they are a favorite of jamie’s. And I can attest to the fact that all the other tacos I’ve ever been served have been fantastic.
peruvian lomo saltado prime new york: roasted tomatoes, pearl onions, aji amarillo demi, yucca fries
Craving a steak? Look no further. Especially if you love a new york. The sauce adds the right amount of balance and some sweet heat, while the grilled tomatoes and pearl onions when combined with a bite of steak make for a perfect bite.
And yucca fries? Yes please. Have you had cassava? I like to use the flour as a gluten-free healthier alternative. The cassava root itself is starchy- almost like if parsnips and potatoes had babies. All this is a long way of saying… get the yucca fries.
