Grilled Chicken Quesadilla with artichoke, spinach, jack, tomato, caramelized onion with chili tomato puree and cumin cream served with vegetarian Mexican rice.

Grilled Chicken Quesadilla with artichoke, spinach, jack, tomato, caramelized onion with chili tomato puree and cumin cream served with vegetarian Mexican rice.

Facts: Juice, marinated chicken, lots of onions… the tomato puree is thick and over powering—should be served with some thing cold and fresh to better compliment the flavors.

Opinion: The quesadilla was large, definitely two meals worth. There were huge chunks of artichokes with juicy, marinade chicken. The cumin crema was delicious but the tomato puree tasted too Italian for this Mexican dish. Available at Mezcal Tequila Cantina.

Crispy Fired Tilapia Tacos

Fried Tilapia on homemade corn tortillas with chopped lettuce, red onion, salsa & jack cheese; habanero vegetable relish, cilantro crema, roasted bell pepper.

I first tried fish tacos on a trip to San Diego and loved them so whenever I see them on a menu, I order them. When Mezcal’s version of fish tacos arrived, I was excited, as the presentation was very interesting. Three good-sized soft corn tortillas lay open on my plate, each filled with a generous portion of fish and habanero vegetable relish. Off to the side was chopped lettuce, red onion and jack cheese. Our waiter had brought two hot sauces to the table also so I dressed my first taco with a creamy, smoky ghost chile sauce and bit into it. The tortilla was virtually tasteless, but the inside exploded with fantastic flavors and spices. The fish was tasty and hot, the habanero relish was crispy and the smoky ghost chile sauce brought enough heat to compliment the sweet cilantro crema dressing. Available at Mezcal Tequila Cantina.
