Frijoles Charros
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps the greatest taco ever....roasted portabello mushrooms, kale, queso fresco.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We got a taco al pastor, a pork belly taco, and a taco de papa con rajans.

Special of the day was a turkey torta.

After dinner, we hit up The Violet Hour.....the place is, in a word, dark. Here's what I could do.
Salt Cod Croquettes, Aioli, Cilantro, Lime, Spanish Paprika
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The left is a Slow Realization (Tito's, Lemon, Plymouth Sloe Gin, Cherry Bitters) and the right is a Blue Ride Manhattan (Wild Turkey 101 Rye, Carpano Antica, Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth, Laphroaig Scotch, Peach Bitters).
Also consumed but not photographed was a Woolworth Flip (Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Carpano Antica, Cynar, Whole Egg, Root Beer Bitters) which tasted like a cocktail version of a root beer float. Also, a Winter Sazerac (Rittenhouse Rye, Pierre Ferrand Cognac, Rothman & Winter Apricot Liqueur, La Muse Verte Absinthe, Peychaud's Bitters). Everything consumed was absurdly awesome.
A lovely way to spend an evening.
