A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

It was an unusually warm evening, so we decided to walk to Temazcal from our office.  The space is beautiful, with great water views. It was a little too chilly for eating outside, but they have a lovely patio.

The restaurant has two locations, one in the Seaport and the other in Lynnfield. Both restaurants feature an upscale atmosphere and over 200 types of tequila! What is fun about Temazcals’ website is that you can look at the menu and see recipes of all the dishes and prepare them for yourself at home!

The meal starts with chips and salsa.

And of course we started with the lobster guacamole ($16): lobster, avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro, serrano chilies. Huge pieces of fresh lobster meat! I love guacamole, I could have eaten just this for dinner.

I had the short rib barbacoa fajitas ($22) with shredded braised short rib, pickled jalapenos, and agave glazed onions.

The fajitas come with refried beans, corn salsa and a cole slaw.

We also tried the grilled skirt steak tacos ($19) that came with marinated grilled skirt steak, roasted onion salsa, napa cabbage, picked serrano and radish and avocado, served on soft corn tortillas. A little messy to eat, but it came in a cute presentation and the flavors were really fresh.

The churros ($8) for dessert were light and delicious – they have a touch of sweetness and they are served warm.

And an odd choice, but we also went with the Key Lime Pie ($8) that was light as air and lip puckering tart (just the way I like it!).
