如果你觉得没有限制to the amount oftacosyou could consume, welcome to heaven. Travesia is a new dining experience atWaldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregalthat consists of nine courses of tacos (even dessert!), all inspired by regional Mexican culinary traditions.
Executive chef Gustavo Pinet adds high-end twists to classics likebirria(sourcing wagyu cheeks) andbarbacoa(topping tender lamb shank with xoconostle, a type of prickly pear). Each taco is paired with a unique, perfect-for-tacos cocktail, which, yes, means nine cocktails. Each drink is meant to spotlight local ingredients and Mexican spirits, bring out the flavors of each taco.
While most courses are served on handmade corn tortillas, the menu opens with a lush fried oyster wrapped in a thinly sliced jicama "tortilla," served alongside aguachile. The accompanying cocktail, a Mexican 75, is a refreshing start with tequila reposado, St. Germain, green chartreuse, fresh lemon, and sparkling wine.
Another taco highlight, the rib eye suadero served with chile güero and black garlic sauce, comes with the supremely satisfying Mayahuel cocktail, made of tequila añejo, mango, orange juice, and a pinch of homemade mole salt. You may be full by the ninth taco, but dessert is not to be missed: it's topped with apple beignets, banana and peanut mole, fermented pineapple, and crispy plantain.
The Travesia experience costs $175 per person and can be booked through visitors' personal concierge or guest relations teamat the resort.
