Crab Fritters
For a to-go order, the chili sauce should really be used much more sparingly. Or, better yet, package it separately. This sauce made a horrible mess. The inside of the bag and the to-go box was covered in sauce. Luckily, we opened the bag on a kitchen counter and minimized the mess. And, the fritters were quite soggy from all that sauce by the time our meal made it home. If not for that chili sauce, we think these would have been quite tasty. They were just absolutely drenched in sweet sauce.
The Lamburguesa
It’s a lamb burger topped generously with goat cheese, roasted pepper relish, chile de arbor aioli, and lettuce. Served with a small-ish side of pepper spiced fries, the burger made the journey home nicely. The fries weren’t as lucky. They were tasty, but, soft and soggy.
The lamb was closer to medium than medium rare. But, it was tender and full of flavor. Every ingredient on this burger added another noteworthy layer of flavor.
We tried to choose food that would travel well. And, it should go without saying, we’d much rather eat at the restaurant. Sometimes, life gets in the way of a good meal. The moral of this story? Just stick to the burger and torta options when you have to take food to-go. Considering our alternatives for the night, this beat fast food by a mile… a very long and generous mile.
We’d easily choose to eat this meal over fast food… any day.
