What To Have

Dos Taquitos Centro updated their menu since the last time I was there. I love this, since it gives me the opportunity to try something new. I started with the Chorizo con Queso. This i traditional cheese dip with fresh chips, the twist is the spicy sausage that crumbled up in the dip. It adds a different type of heat to a starter that is already good.

My main entree was also something new on the menu Mole Manchamanteles. I got this dish with chicken (it’s also available with grass-fed pork). One of the traditional moles, this dish is packed with fresh fruits, nuts and spices that blend well together. Everything is slow cooked and the sauce bursts with flavor. I highly recommend this one, each part of the dish complemented each other. I especially enjoyed the spices in the sauce that were then toned down by the fruit.

Where to park:
Parking at Dos Taquitos Centro is easy. They’re located on the west side of S Wilmington Str. You’ve got your choice of on street parking or in one of the public decks that are very close. There is a public parking deck about 100 yards south on the same side, there is also another parking deck a little further south across the street.

You might have gathered from the title that I like tequila. There are several places downtown that offer great tequila and tequila drinks. Tequila in all it’s various forms is my favorite drink. I like it served many different ways: straight up, on the rocks, chilled or in a margarita. Here’s a quick list of places with some great tequila.

The duck and dumpling has one of my favorites. Tres generaciones – One of my favorites, I love this smooth tequila straight up.
Riviera has margarita thursday, they offer a wide variety of seasonal margaritas such as white peach and prickly pear.
One of the newest additions to downtown, Dos Taquitos, has an amazing tequila menu. I’m sure it won’t be long before I try each one.
Fins makes a couple great margaritas. They have a special Patron coffee tequila that makes a great drink. They also have Patron’s orange liqueur that they can use to make an excellent top shelf margarita.
