My weakness is chips and guacamole. Once I get started, it's like an addiction. I can't stop. Especially when they're served alongside a hand muddled, house made margarita - I prefer the Fresco Pepino (Corzo Silver Tequila, English Hothouse cucumber, lime and cane nectar) from MUCHO ULTIMA MEXICANA restaurant in Manhattan Beach, California. And if you're not into cucumber, Mucho has plenty of margaritas to choose from -- a list of approximately 200 phenomenal tequilas.
The food at Mucho is made with the greatest love and respect for mexican cuisine. They use the freshest ingredients, including tomatoes and avocados that spend time in their "ripening room" before being served. Last night I ordered the Blue Corn Tortilla Crusted Mahi Mahi with nopales (prickly pear cactus) risotto, pepperjack rajas (roasted chili strips) and a pineapple black bean salsa. TO DIE FOR.As for the attack of the guacamole -- At approximately 91 calories and 8 grams of fat per 1/4 cup, I probably downed about 400 calories just in guacamole alone. I know the rules, tell the waiter not to bring the chips. I tried. But this time, I just couldn't do it. Next time...
Definitely check out Mucho if you are in Manhattan Beach but beware:
The guacamole will take hold of you and won't let go.
