My friend is renting out Bacanora for his wife's 50th BDay party. I finally get to try it this Saturday night!

That’s great! Let me know how it goes

Damn, renting out Bacanora on a Saturday night has to cost some serious coin.

Which location? I have been to a few. Just went to one in Avondale that was one of the prettiest restaurants I have been in.

I'm sure. She is a Doctor and he is a VP for Intel so probably pocket change for them.

Dilla Libre has the best quesadillas ever. Don't give a hoot if it's Mexican, New Mexican, or whatever.

Love Cien Agaves for tacos and nachos and tequila. Love Fiesta Burrito, little local joint, for it's breakfast burrito. Best hangover food ever. Might have it tomorrow.

And I did, in fact, have that breakfast burrito this morning, lol.

So finally got to try Bacanora for the first time and was blown away! My friends set up a tasting menu for the party so I don't know how it relates to the normal menu.

First off the Halibut Ceviche was definitely the best ceviche that I have ever had. I would go back just for that dish.

Papas Sucia was amazing! Cast Iron potatoes with smoked birria. We were fighting over that one.

But the Hanger steak was my favorite. Amazing beef flavor!!!

SO much food that we brought a bunch home!

Course #4: Hanger Steak and Roasted Chicken platter for our table of 4

Actually a couple showed up at the door and were super disappointed when they saw the private party sign. I almost felt bad for them. Almost.

You didn't offer to sneak some food out?

FTW? For the weight?

MigratingOsprey · Dec 20, 2023

For the win and given it's pollo fundido, also for the weight

Haven't had theirs, but there are some good ones out there and it's great (at staking weight)

And yes, for the win and for the weight!

You just like the way she opens wide and attacks the burrito…

That place is less than a mile from me - will have to go
