SOFRITA

One of the lovely gifts we received for Christmas was a pair of gift cards to a Tapas Restaurant in Fountain Hills called Sofrita. I'm not sure how Daughter Mary Mae found this place on the internet, but it's a goodie! We decided we would go there tonight before we went to get groceries.

This is probably the best guacamole we've had in a long time. Lots of chunks of avocados and then topped with toasted pumpkin seeds and served with hot housemade tortilla chips and a side of salsa -- delicious!

This is an interesting place. There are as many seats outside on the patio as there are inside. The menu is mostly "small plates" which is ideal for us. We had the guacamole; bacon wrapped dates; street corn elote with queso blanco; and fried calamari served with sweet coconut lime and mustard aioli. It was just enough to leave plenty of room for us to share a piece of coconut flan.

We were full enough that we decided we would head on home and leave grocery shopping for another day.
