For
those of you who are on social media, we all have heard of Taco Tuesdays. It makes sense right? Throwback Thursday……so why not a Taco
Tuesday. I think it’s perfect…and so does the restaurants. Restaurants have taken advantage of Taco
Tuesdays and has even offered specials.
Because I am a self-proclaimed foodie, I asked my look alike if she
would be interested in going to dinner with her younger sister…MY TREAT. She was all in and even reminded me that she
did buy me that Wildfox Couture sweatshirt that I wanted so it’s only fair that
I pay. Thanks sister….
Tonya
and I love going out to dinner….if we stopped going out, we would literally
save thousands, but the socialite in us won’t let us. Which is why we extended the invite to our
members of our makeup group chat. Our
Chica Charita said she would meet us there at 630…it was on!
Tonya
and I have been to New Rebozo years ago….we stopped in for a quick bite and
ordered the Chimichunga and of course that was good, but nothing would have
prepared me for the taste I experienced by the hands of Chef Paco on this day.
Can
we talk? We had reservations so when we
arrived our table was ready. Out comes
my favorite chef and he greets us with kisses.
We sat down and Chef Paco recommended a margarita made with Mezcal…it
was absolutely amazing. He then came by
with his IPad to show us todays specials. Although we didn’t choose of the
specials, what we had puts every Mexican restaurant to shame. (Sorry Maya, I still love you guys) Tonya and
I had the chicken enchiladas with a mole sauce that included 12 ingredients!!!
Each ingredient built this flavor profile that was like a pop rock…it was PHENOMENAL!
Rita, had a spicy shrimp dish called the Camaron Diablo, which she said it was
the best she has ever had. Oh wait, hit
the rewind button. I forgot to mention that Chef Paco gave us a sample of mini
burritos filled with goat cheese and some kind of sweet and smoky sauce. I am not a goat cheese fan but Tonya and Rita
thought it was really good. After we
finished our dinner, Chef Paco had one more trick up his sleeve. He brought out FLAN! Not just any flan…a light, custard like
awesomeness with a graham cracker crust and strawberries…OMG!!!! That is the only thing I can say..
If
you are looking for authentic, Mexican food with a gourmet twist, look no
further, New Rebozo is it. I am loyal Oak Parker, so I usually try to support
places in my town but there is another location for those that love
downtown. Visit and leave us a comment
of what you thought of the restaurant.
