September 8, 2014 End of Summer Party with Jugos
The Friday before Labor Day I was hoping to already be out of town – escape the students and dreaded September 1 move in (No Allston Christmas for this gal). Since I was still here, I decided to head over to Charles River Park and check out the Jugos pop up location. Ron Marco, owner of Jugos in the Back Bay, opened a second pop up location at the outdoor pool at Charles River Park for the summer – you know the place – the signs that say, “If you lived here, you would be home now”.
The private party was a farewell to summer party of sorts. They had great live reggae music as well as samples of some of their delicious menu items.
While it was an unusually cool night for the summer, the music certainly heated things up.
Strawberry lemonade was a nice treat – not too sweet.
I’m a huge fan of Jugos – our old office was right around the corner from Back Bay Station and I was there at least twice a week, getting my figawi fix.
While the Back Bay location only has juices and smoothies with a few pre-made items like chia pudin, salads and sandwiches, this location has an expanded menu. The tostones were warm and salty – and not too sweet.
I forgot my floss at home, so no corn on the cob for this gal, but it looked and smelled delicious!
There were a variety of empanadas that went in the blink of an eye.
All of the food was delicious, there wasn’t one thing there that I didn’t like. And it just kept coming…more food after more food.
Some of the food I had never tried before, like these plantains stuffed with cheese. Bold flavors that really worked well with each other.
The fruita en chile had a surprising kick to it, fresh fruit with chile lime salt.
The chia pudin had chia seeds, homemade cashew milk, sea salt and vanilla cinnamon.
And the fruta bomba was a delicious blend of papaya, strawberry, mango, tumeric, banana and coconut water.
