Cocktails at Cosecha

Did you know that Cosecha started serving booze about four months ago?  I didn’t.  But it was definitely a pleasant surprise when I stopped by the other day.    

I know the chef/owner uses organic ingredients and everything, but it was still hard to pay $15 for two tacos with some rice and beans on the side.  

The cocktail helped dull the pain.

Next time you go to @cosechacafe ask Elia to make your cocktail. She didn’t have any experience before starting a few weeks ago, but the woman is an artist! It was obvious she enjoyed the work and when I asked her about it she said “it’s fun, like putting on makeup.” . By the way, Cosecha started serving booze about 4 months ago and this was a Paloma (Mezcal, grapefruit cordial, angostura, tonic). . It was delicious.

The Rice and Beans were kind of bland for my taste, so I didn’t finish the bowl.  Instead, I took the leftovers home and made gallo pinto with an egg on top for breakfast the next morning (yum!).

But I’m getting ahead of myself.  Let’s go back to that dinner at Cosecha…

You guys…those Shrimp Tacos were freakin delicious.  Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and plenty of flavor.  Oh yeah.

Have you ever been to Cosecha?  How was your experience?
