WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW that's the one word that sums up my experience at Deseo.
Saturday night for a friend's bday dinner and restaurant week I went with about 8 people and we had a private room.
For starters I had the chicken posole which had jidori chicken, avocado, tepin salsa and hominy. I had never had chicken posole before usually always pork but this was really good. I finished my bowl and actually was craving more.
Second course was the shrimp chicharron with aji amarillo, endive, and pickled jalapenos. It was almost the texture of popcorn shrimp but oh sooooo much yummier.
Entree course I had the loup de mer al huacatay which was a sea bass on top of crab and asparagus pionono, ajillo, and bitter orange. Wow it was so delectable. The fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce complimented it perfectly. It was nice to get down to the bed of crab and asparagus that it was sitting on.
Dessert course was the chocolate cigar. Such a great dessert. It was very pleasing to the eye and tasted just as good. The cappuccino gelato was a great compliment to the chocolate cigar. I loved how even the matchbook was edible.
Overall such an amazing dinner one of my favorite meals I have ate in Phoenix and I can't wait to go back to try more of their amazing food.
