点评:Our server was an absolute delight – attentive, friendly, and genuinely kind. Her warm hospitality and playful banter made us feel right at home. We kicked off our culinary adventure with a couple of their signature cocktails: The Paloma Rojo: Smoky, refreshing, and citrusy, this concoction featured blanco mezcal, Aperol, grapefruit, lime, orange agave, and a chile salt rim. A perfect way to awaken the palate! I ordered the Palenque Margarita: This was a truly exceptional margarita – smooth, upscale, and expertly crafted with El Tesoro Reposado, Grand Marnier, fresh lime juice, and house-made orange agave syrup. The tableside preparation added a touch of interactive fun.
With drinks in hand, we delved into the menu, starting with the MeXo Queso Fundido. While I typically prefer a smooth cream queso dip to a Fundido, this Fundido was a winner, and I would easily order it again. The two cheeses, Chihuahua & Oaxaca chees,e were a perfect melty combo that was elevated with a balanced addition of chorizo, poblano peppers, and roasted corn. It was gooey without being too stringy, and the house-made corn nixtamal tortillas were fantastic. We could not stop eating them.
Next up was the grilled octopus, which turned out to be my favorite dish of the night. The Pulpo Ceviche featured perfectly grilled octopus with red onion, cilantro, lime, goat butter (I am not sure I have ever had goat butter, who knew?), tomato, avocado, and cucumber. As an octopus aficionado, I can confidently say this was one of the best preparations I’ve had in Grand Rapids. The octopus was tender and charred just right, and the citrusy marinade, along with the other fresh ingredients, created a flavor explosion in every bite. I highly recommend it; I could have eaten two servings of this and walked out the happiest camper!

翻译:我们的服务员非常令人愉快——细心、友好、真诚。她热情的款待和俏皮的玩笑让我们有宾至如归的感觉。我们以他们的几款招牌鸡尾酒开始了我们的美食之旅:Paloma Rojo:烟熏、清爽、柑橘味,这种混合酒以白梅斯卡尔酒、阿佩罗酒、葡萄柚、酸橙、橙龙舌兰和辣椒盐边缘为特色。唤醒味蕾的完美方式!我点了 Palenque Margarita:这是一款真正非凡的玛格丽塔酒——口感顺滑、高档,采用 El Tesoro Reposado、Grand Marnier、新鲜酸橙汁和自制橙龙舌兰糖浆精心制作而成。桌边准备增添了一丝互动乐趣。
端上饮料,我们开始研究菜单,从 MeXo Queso Fundido 开始。虽然我通常更喜欢滑爽的奶油奶酪酱而不是 Fundido,但这款 Fundido 却非常不错,我会毫不犹豫地再次点它。两种奶酪,奇瓦瓦奶酪和瓦哈卡奶酪,是完美的融化组合,再加上西班牙辣香肠、波布拉诺辣椒和烤玉米,味道更加完美。它粘稠但又不会太粘稠,自制的玉米面豆粉饼非常棒。我们吃得停不下来。
接下来是烤章鱼,这道菜成了我当晚最喜欢的一道菜。Pulpo Ceviche 的特色是烤得恰到好处的章鱼,配上红洋葱、香菜、酸橙、山羊黄油(我不确定我是否吃过山羊黄油,谁知道呢?)、番茄、鳄梨和黄瓜。作为章鱼爱好者,我可以自信地说,这是我在大急流城吃过的最好的章鱼之一。章鱼鲜嫩,烤得恰到好处,柑橘腌料和其他新鲜食材让每一口都充满风味。我强烈推荐它;我可以吃两份,然后开心地走出露营地!
