Xoco

Dan and I had dinner at Rick Bayless's Xoco last night after taking the train into town and walking through the snowy city. It's a funny little shotgun restaurant where you either squeeze in next to other patrons at shared tables or sit on high chairs at narrow bars throughout the joint. Casual street food eatins. . .

I had Chicken Tortas.


Dan had Carnitas Caldos (the broth? consomme? was awesome).


Both were really good. . . but the thing I'd go back for were the churros:


The churros were hot out of the fryer and came with their own little mug of Mexican chocolate dipping sauce. Is there a better dessert with snow laying a few inches thick outside?
