| - Distrito is a unique dining experience; located in the Saguaro hotel, the decor is quirky, colorful and fresh. This place is a foodie's paradise.
The menu consists of modern Mexican tapas (small[er] plates), an interpretation of the street food of Mexico ("Distrito Federal"). Everything comes out as its ready and is meant to be shared. Flavors are Iron Chef-worthy (after all, it is Iron Chef Jose Garces's creation); whatever you do, don't rush through the meal! Every bite packs a lot of flavor, and it was fun to discern each ingredient as we pregressed though the meal.
My favorites were the yellowtail ceviche (atón), the traditional guacamole, chilangro chop salad, tacos de pollo, tacos de mahi mahi, and jicama con manzana (jicama, cabbage and apple slaw). The cochinita a la pibil (berkshire pork shoulder with achote and pineapple BBQ) was a little too acidic for my taste.
It was an enjoyable dining experience, definitely out of the ordinary. I'm excited to return for different tastes from the plentiful menu.
