The dessert was a passionfruit sorbet wrapped in a layer of soft white chocolate, then wrapped in a layer of hardened white chocolate, then set to float in a pool of white chocolate sauce; the berries were added upon request.
Omar's Black Sheep Report
Mexican places I'm trying to get to soon: Just found out about a new place in Costa Mesa I am going to try to get to on Saturday for lunch; been invited to La Capilla in Huntington Beach for dinner on Friday; need to go to the two places our Black Sheep waiter mentioned that I haven't been to yet. Also have to try Kantina that was mentioned in the previous post. And many, many other places I can't begin to list but are all floating around in my brain waiting to be reviewed. There is also another guest review by James coming soon.
Some non-Mexican restaurants I've been to lately include: Kabuki, King's Hawaiian, California Fish Grill, Daphne's Greek Cafe, pho bac ky, and the Crab Cooker.
Yeah, the server was really well-versed in OC Mexican food places, and couple with my lack of knowledge of such places, I couldn't really keep track of them all (or any, other than Zocalo's).
ReplyDeleteI think the dessert was the best part; they all looked quite good. And the coffee, though a bit late in the day, went well with the dessert.
Yeah, I have a hard time just keeping track in my brain of all the Mexican places I need to go to. And, yes, the dessert was really good.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite parts of the tapas plate were the paella croquette (at about 2:00 on the plate in the picture) and the gnocchi (at about 7:00). There was also a strip of meat that was really good, I think it was duck (shown at about 9:00). The allioli (Spanish aioli) was good, but I was thrown off by the cilantro sauce and the salmon. Oh, and I liked the sausage, too.
ReplyDeleteThe food was good, although it could have been a little warmer. I was a bit disappointed because I was hoping for garlic shrimp and patatas bravas and mushrooms in garlic and tortilla espanola -- all those classic Spanish tapas.
