Tuesday, January 15. 2008Tucson's Favorite DishesIt's not a list of the best restaurants, for that would be repetitious, what with the hundreds of best-of year-end lists and all. Instead, with a little bit of creativity, the fine folks at the Tucson Citizen have delved deep within and discovered their 25 favorite dishes. This being Tucson, one could certainly expect to find some cactus in there.
Tequila Lime Salmon ($19) at Lodge on the Desert, 306 N. Alvernon Way. The tequila and lime made for a vibrantly juicy and even salty salmon, carefully teamed with a mango salsa and a prickly pear cactus juice reduction. Well, cactus juice counts, I suppose. One of my favorite dishes locally is at Cocina Poblana, just around the corner from us. Huarache Tingado An overgenerous Huarache lined with refried black beans and grilled Penca de Nopal, with your choice of Beef or Chicken tinga Mexican and Cotija cheese. Trackbacks
