Modern Mexican at Cantina Laredo
A chain from Texas, Cantina Laredo is upscale Mexican. Delish cocktails like blood orange or white honey sangria served with chips and two salsas -one heated and more spicy and the other -chilled, milder but lotsa herbs!
I had enchilada de cangrejo -Rich lump Crabmeat with a chile arbol cream sauce served with sides of sauteed zucchini and rice. My friend had tacos de barbacoa which is slow roasted brisket served on steamed corn tortillas -"street taco" style.
This is not Tex Mex at all. Just another delicious interpretation of Mexican food now in Clayton!

"Evolving Cocktails"
By using ice cubes as an ingredient, they change the flavor profile of the drink as they melt. e.g. use ice cubes made of tea into a glass of carbonated lemonade and vodka. As the tea melts, you have an Arnold Palmer.

Bottomless Bloody Mary bar @ Cielo
Full disclosure. Bloodies are not my thing and we did not indulge. Style points alone for variety and presentation. Seemingly all food groups represented. Flavored ice cubes? Maybe I should've!

The Best $6.99 Sauvignon Blanc
Get to Trader Joes. Now. If you like a crisp, straight forward Sauvignon, this is a winner. It's a special buy, it won't last so stock up for the autumn and for holiday parties. You will not find a better value or something else so drinkable for $6.99.
