You can't be a native southern Californian and not have an appreciation for fine Mexican food. It's nurture food for me because I've been noshing on it my entire life. But strangely, here in Mexico Norte, or rather Los Angeles, great Mexican cuisine is actually difficult to find. Mostly we have chain restaurants and taco stands. Fortunately, with Mexico City raised and Culinary Institute trained uber chef Richard Sandoval, we now have La Sandia.
Margarita's and freshly made guacamole were the first course....naturally. Followed by shrimp ceviche and quesadillas and then entrees of traditional dishes of chile relleno, carnitas, soft tacos, etc.,
and of course more margaritas.
Dessert was a delicious trio of traditional Mexican sweets stepped up a notch with a sparkler.
Hopefully, the next Richard Sandoval restaurant that I try will be Ketsi at the Four Seasons Hotel in Punta Mita.
I can dream...

We need to grab a few friends and head to Punta Mita together, and eat ourselves full to bursting before waddling back to the beach!
Sending you a smile Miss BHB, I hope we were able to steer a few folks your way for the donation you all are doing. :)
