We added just enough heat to keep things interesting with the new Barbacoa de Borrego, estilo Oaxaqueño.
This dish features a fall-off-the-bone slow cooked, red-chile lamb shank barbacoa and ayocote beans that both effortlessly flirt with its sesame-arbol salsa.
Take your sweet time with this one.

If you weren’t one of our brilliant students, then you might not have known that we had our first Escuela Class of the season, this past Saturday! Our legendary sommelier, Jill, carried us through Mexico’s w**e country in a very intimate way. We were given textual information with the addition of personal anecdotes, that truly displayed that how the beauty of w**e connects us relationally, emotionally, and even spiritually.
Like a great teacher does, she catered this class to the variety of students that attended: new-comers, the inquisitive, the hands-on learners, the active listeners and even those with pre-knowledge of w**es. Thank you for being such passionate learners.
See you in two weeks for Escuela Class two!

For vegetarians looking for something delicious to eat, Frontera Grill's Plátanos Rellenos are a must-try.
