I had a bit of a hiatus, but I'm back. I don't have a knew recipe this time, but I just tried this fabulous restaurant in the Berkshires, and I want to talk about it! It's called Xicohténcatl, located in a cute bright yellow house in Great Barrington, MA, just a mile from Butternut. The locals call it "Chico's." They have a reputation for THE BEST margaritas, and I can say I very much enjoyed my Xichoh Margarita (with a splash of grenadine). The food was very flavorful, lots of herbs and gentle on the garlic. The rice seemed not to be too loaded with butter, too. I had the Veggie Burrito Grande, and took a picture of half of it. D had the Stuffed Chile Rellenos, which were perfectly spicy, but a bit overpriced, and J got the Mexican pizza from the kid's menu. they use organic, locally grown vegetables while they're in season, so the summer is great time to enjoy that feature, too. While on this weekend away, we picked just one meal to eat out, so we could save up for a treat like this. I highly recommend it!
