Pork in Mole Rojo
“It’s begining to look a lot like Christmas. Everywhere you go…”
Seriously, when the rice and refried black beans are good enough to be a meal, we’re happy. And, we were happy this day. Though, we must admit a pint-sized margarita contributed to our festive mood. The pork? It had just reached the moment in time of incredibly tender pork that still has a faintest blush of pink at the center that is evidence of a long and delicately slow braising period.
Steak & Grits
Yes, that’s an entire grilled ribeye topping that mountain of creamy grits. If we wanted to be picky, we might say there was a touch too much sauce. Maybe the mushrooms were a touch overcooked and the onion slices were quite large, sloppy and barely cooked. But, who cares? It was a good (huge) lunch.
The steak & grits was served with a lightly dressed salad of greens topped with a generous handful of toasted pumpkin seeds, too? Yep, we definitely like this place.
Pepino`rita & Smoky Rita (in back)
One of the drink specials at Mezcalito’s turns the `rita of the day into a pint for the same price. Hey, it’s close enough to the holidays that we couldn’t say no to that offer.
