Taste Of The Wasatch 2017 – Riverhorse

Taste Of The Wasatch

As promised last week, I’m excited to unveil the full and final menu for this years Taste Of The Wasatch. In case you needed any last convincing this decadent menu should help you make the right decision. Indeed the only real decision will be where to start on August 5th, smoked duck confit? shrimp ceviche? tuna tataki?

With less than three weeks to the big day, this might be your last chance to grab covered reserved seating tickets. Tickets for Taste Of The Wasatch 2018 are $110 for GA and $150 for reserved seating. The extra dollars are worth the seat in the shade – and the hour of early access to the event (11 a.m. rather than noon for GA). Tickets can be purchased online.

Alamexo - table side guac

Alamexo Cantina – table side guac in the trendy 9th and 9th area

Alamexo Cantina

As Alamexo Cantina starts to settle into the 9th and 9th neighborhood, it’s also starting to tweak its hours and offerings to better meet the needs of local residents.

As of this month the Cantina will now be open seven days a week. Moreover, the restaurant is also adding a new “Cantina Happy Hour” menu of $4 Botanas that will be served from 3 until 6 p.m. daily. Each week will feature a rotating selection of small bites available a la carte in addition to the regular dinner menu.

Another change is that lunch service will now be ending. The new hours will be Monday – Saturday from 3 until 10 p.m. and Sundays from 3 – 9 p.m. Some selections from the launch Happy Hour menu include:

* Huarache plantanos – corn and ripe plantain masa topped with refried black beans, lettuce, cabbage and cashew salsa

* Quesadilla con queso y hongos – two white corn quesadillas filled with mushrooms, jalapeño & Oaxaca cheese served with salsa verde cruda

* Jalapeño rellenos – pickled jalapeño filled with beef barbacoa, topped with queso fresco & crema

* Taquitos de pollo – crispy rolled tacos filled with adobo chicken

While the Cantina will not open until 3 p.m., Lake and his crew are happy to open for groups mid-day. GM Susan Bouldin writes,

It’s actually the perfect answer for us because we can’t accommodate private groups in our downtown location and have a huge call for mid-day lunch meetings and events,“We can host any type of private party during the day now and offer a truly private space.

Time has certainly flown, and we couldn’t be more grateful for each and every guest we’ve welcomed. Sharing a little bit of our home, traditions, and heart with you has been one of the most fulfilling things we’ve ever done together. We’re equally grateful for each and every member of our VENETO Family — Grazie Squadra!
