This year I wasn't able to try as many festival items as I would have liked, but here are some highlights:
Peppers Caliente
Grilled shrimp tacos and poblano pasta
These menu items were full of flavor but also extremely spicy. The pasta was very tasty and the tacos had a fresh crispy shell. I would not recommend this marketplace if you are sensitive to spice.
Off the Cob
Shrimp and braised corn
This was a delicious combination of flavors, especially the chorizo and corn base.
Golden Dreams
Seared salmon
The salmon in this dish was cooked perfectly but I was not a big fan of the relish on top and the rice was a little dry.
Avocado Time
Fried guacamole with carne asada
This was my favorite dish that I tried at the festival this year. I don't typically like steak but the meat combined with fresh tomatoes and warm crispy avocado was delicious.
Honorable Mention:
Carbonara garlic macaroni and cheese from Garlic Kissed was so creamy with the perfect amount of crunch on top.
