It's going to be the best fish taco you guys have ever had, I promise.
S3 · Sourdough Fried Fish Taco
It's the best quail in the world. He has bred them where like they are just big juicy quails.
S3 · Quail al Pastor Taco
This bluefin tuna tostada that breaks perfectly. Nine out of 10.
Michael Ligier · Bluefin Tuna Tostada
Our next course at dinner was one of the only courses on the menu without corn, but it was a beautiful ceviche with awa chile and the most perfect little citric sorbet in the middle.
