In anticipation for Cinco de Mayo, we will be sampling a variety of salsas that are available to be purchased. We will also be selling tortilla chips to go with your salsas. Come down and see us. Be prepared this Cinco.

Rigatoni w/ Bolognese Sauce & Italian Sausages

This is a great comfort food dish. The Italian sausages have a bit of spice to them which lends itself nicely to the sweet tomato sauce.

Chicken Pozole

We had some chicken pozole today. This soup is one of our favorites. Hominy, chicken, chicken stock, chile puree, shredded cabbage, chopped onion, and a squeeze of lemon.

Fresh Asparagus

We got some fresh asparagus in from Calexico, California. Asparagus is a great spring time treat that is a good source for dietary fiber and vitamin B6.

Salsas and sauces to go......

Here's the first round of to-go salsas. We will be offering various salsas and sauces to be available to purchase. They come in an 8 oz. glass mason jar with a screw top lid. These sauces are perishable and need to be refrigerated. They have a shelf life of 7 days.

Salsa Roja

We are producing a batch of salsa roja that we will be jarring up for sale tomorrow. Grab a jar to take home and enjoy over the weekend.
