I have been dreaming of the Machaca (also available at Momocho) ever since I heard about. It combines two of my great food loves: brisket and coffee. I finally made my way to El Carnicero to try it. Holy yum! The brisket was tender, moist and extremely flavorful. Brisket nirvana. I got the taquitos, served with salsa verde and traditional guac. I am not a huge guac fan, but this was delicious and I seriously cannot wait to go back for more.
I was also eager to try the ginger margarita, but in the spirit of diversity, I went for the sampler. I picked the ginger and the cucumber, leaving the third choice to our friendly bartender. He selected the blood orange. They were all amazing! The cucumber in particular was so refreshing. I think it will be my go to for the rest of the summer.
Did I mention they have a Saturday Happy Hour? I didn't even know this was a thing but I couldn't be happier!
My dining partner has a variety of food allergies/sensitivities, and El Carnicero definitely earned a fifth star for being very accommodating. My friend was able to customize her order and enjoy a delicious and stress-free meal.
