Drinks: cilantro fresca (pictured), margarita de la casa, pulque clásico (older than tequila and stronger than beer, pulque is a fermented alcohol made from the agave plant--it also has a slight old, sweaty shoe aftertaste... yum?)
Food: guacamole clásico, sikil pak (Mayan pumpkin seed dip), taco pescado zarandeado & taco carnita (pictured), borrachos ("drunk" beans with pulque)
This Valentine's Day, I celebrated love with three single friends at Pulqueria. We met after work. From an inconspicuous street in Chinatown, we ventured down an unmarked stairwell and through a blue door. We exchanged gifts and stories, ate well, drank lots, and danced while seated in our cozy booth. The four and a half hours passed quickly. Dare I say it was almost perfect? Hope yours was, too.
oooh, doyers street looks so mysterious in this lighting. looks like you ladies had fun! except i don't like the sound of sweaty shoe. oh boy.
ReplyDelete@sofia: Doesn't it?! I totally convinced everyone I was being artistic when I took the shot after leaving ;) as for pulque, let's just say Leslie refused to drink it...
ReplyDeleteYour photos are great! I liked the one of the four of us so much that it's my new FB photo - hope that's okay! Let's hang soon, maybe eat some diner grilled cheese... :)
ReplyDelete@Megan (The Runner's Kitchen): Well, I did take a million ;) of course that's fine! And listen, I'm all for hanging out soon, but the diner is kind of a solo 5am date with myself spot, so I'll just have to make sure it's okay in advance...
ReplyDeleteI love that photo! Well done, random busboy who took it. And I also loved our date, of course.
ReplyDelete@Anna: True story! And, obviously ;) hope your week is going well still!

ReplyDelete@Aubrey King: I'm all for it! Just tell me when.
