We celebrated Cinco de Mayo right. Of all the purely drinking holidays, the Fifth of May is my favorite (probably because most Mexican drinks have lime in them). I love discovering new restaurants, especially new taco joints. I try to find restaurants before they get extremely popular and then act like I am the first person to ever hear of it. Then, when the crowds start pouring in and the waits start getting long, I can pretend like I discovered it before everyone else. I anticipate that will happen with Machete in Cherry Creek. The vibe is fun and laid back, and the menu is extremely diverse.
Erik and I sampled a variety of tacos, including chicken mole, slow roasted pork, and smoked chicken. I will have to come back another time to try the sesos (brains) and the tripa (intestines).
But my favorite thing I had was the skinny margarita - delicious! I will have to try to make this one at home... only tequila, lime juice, and agave nectar.
Love the blog, Susan! Can't wait to read more. :) We need to give those chicken tacos a try. They sound great - and we love easy around our house!
