Adios Mexican Food

Our lovely bartender Brooke had recommended we escape the tourist traps of the River Walk and head over to an artsier part of town to a restaurant called Rosario's for dinner. www.rosariossa.com This was our final farewell to Mexican food (as good as it all was, you can definitely od on it). The restaurant looks like a diner but is actually a kind of hip restuarant with specialties such as ceviche's and margaritas served in martini glasses. So of course, first up, margaritas. We each got a different one but when I ordered mine, the Mexican handshake, our waiter looked tickled to death. Naturally, this left me wondering wht the hell I had just ordered when he walked away. All the margaritas were strong, but mine was by far the strongest. Or as Stephanie put it, "I want to chase your margarita with mine." haha That said, I think it was the best margarita I had on the trip. It was so fresh, or maybe I just got so drunk off the one that I thought everything at this place was the best. hmm... ;) We decided to share 3 appetizers that Brooke had recommended: the ceviche, guacamole and queso with chorizo. The queso was more like mozzarella with sausage so I'd skip that. The guacomole was tasty but the ceviche was fabulous!!! It was pretty simple: white fish, lime juice, jicama, onions, avacados and cilantro. I would highly highly recommend ordering it! and a Mexican handshake since it makes everything taste better. :)
And so our tour of South western Mexican food came to a close. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to eat any for a while but it was worth it. The food is just fresh down in the south west and the sauces are the perfect blend of spicy, savory and simply that homemade touch. As always with traveling, be a little adventurous with the food and always, ALWAYS ask the locals what they recommend. 99% of the time they won't steer you the wrong way.
