Rough cut tuna “nachos” – Mesa Grill

Rough cut tuna "nachos" - Mesa Grill
Mango-habanero hot sauce, avocado crema. $18
Mesa Grill, Las Vegas NV

Mmm, this was SO good but I think it was a little overpriced for such a small portion. I know it’s Las Vegas but this seemed overtly expensive. I loved that the tuna pieces were quite large, it made for a more substantial feel. It was difficult to tear some of the pieces apart though because the connective membranes hadn’t been cut all the way through. Kinda lame.

Mexican chorizo, market chiles and cilantro. $10
Starbelly, San Francisco CA

Noms, I’m in love! It’s difficult to tell from this pic, but there are actually quite a lot of mussels in this bowl. The sauce with the chorizo and chiles is to die for! Mmm, I’m getting hungry again!
