Hola Summer!! Hola Chef Luisteen!!
We attended a summer fiesta in Santa Luz with the very continental, French Biddyman (an affectionate nickname and another story) where we were served the most exquisite meal.
This taco was so amazingly fresh, sophisticated, and so beautiful—How would have eloquent and wordsmith Cousin Jimmy have answered regarding the meal?
“Yummy and delicious!”
Exotic ingredients included;
- prickly pear cactus (nopales)
- sweet cranberry confit
All the ubiquitous Mexican fixings were offered such as:
- avocado
- cilantro
- radishes
- cucumber
- red onion
Handcrafted tomatillo, chipotle, picante and lime salsas. All minced or sliced for easy eating and heating. The toppings were served on a very user-friendly, cereal bowl-sized handcrafted corn tortilla by Auntie and cooked in rapid speed by her nephew, Chef Luisteen. Chef Luisteen is from Puesto which is a family affair: there is a street food truck and two locations, downtown and La Jolla.
The grill was from Europa and was designed for crepes (a little French slipped in there). The cheese was the first to be heated (looked like a scrambled egg with guest selected toppings added to the cheese). There was steak and chicken for the less adventurous. I had six— one of everything!! (Shh, who’s counting.)
Next fabulous party—Chef Luisteen will be serving it up for us.
Salud, j
