Taco pairings
Chicago
Birria taco, Birrieria Zaragoza
Morgan Olsen, Editor of Time Out Chicago says:
'Melt-in-your-mouth tender goat meat and handmade tortillas are the perfect match for a paloma that's packed with notes of bright grapefruit and a hint of sticky-sweet honey.'
New York
Mole taco, Boca Santa
Bao Ong, Food and Drink Editor at Time Out New York says:
'The sweetness of this honey-filled take on the paloma balances the smoky mole taco filled with roasted potatoes, caramelized onions, queso fresco, pepita seeds and radish.'
Miami
Mahi taco (black bean pico, cabbage and Caja aioli), Caja Caliente
Virginia Gil, Editor of Time Out Miami says:
'The ingredients in this Paloma remind us of a tropical ceviche. So if we’re thinking tacos, a seafood version like Caja Caliente’s mahi with locally caught fish would stand up nicely to the citrusy spice in the drink.'
