Meet the new Mexican street food restaurant at Town Square. Loco Cantina just opened with house made items such as salsas and chorizo.
Dine on a Mexican mac and cheese packed with chorizo, jack cheese, jalapeños, tomatoes and cilantro; the cantina loco salad filled with Nueske's applewood smoked bacon, cotija cheese, avocado, pickled red onion, roasted Marcona almonds and cider vinaigrette; and three different tortas stuffed with beef short rib, roasted chicken and carnitas. That Mexican menu includes tostadas with chorizo, chicken or short rib, topped with black bean purée, queso fresco, greens, pickled red onion and habanero salsa. Six types of tacos include barbacoa, shrimp and pastor, an ancho chili marinated pork, pineapple, pickled peppers and onions and fresh cilantro.
More than 40 tequilas sit behind the bar. Look for margaritas menu including the Locorita with Jose Cuervo, house made sour, fresh lime and Corona and the Kentucky margarita with Maker’s Mark, agave nectar, red sea salt and lime. Try the Jalisco's Old Fashioned with Herradura Reposado, Demerara sugar, oranges, bitters and Luxardo cherries and the fiesta lemonade with Bulleit bourbon, fresh lemonade and basil. Blanco and rojo sangria, white and red wines, five Mexican canned beers and 20 beers on tap also make the menu.
