Urban Margarita is an American Restaurant that swings slightly to New Mexico Fusion Cuisine. This restaurant is located in a strip mall in the Arrowhead Section of North Glendale and is also known as The Upper West Side. Recently Urban Margarita was listed in the Phoenix New Times as among the 10 Best Restaurants for New Mexico Cuisine in Metro Phoenix so I had to give them a try!
Urban Margarita offers a very comfortable patio with an indoor outdoor bar and a fireplace.
I decided to try the Stuffed Poblano Pepper. (but with the queso on the side)
I received not one but two roasted poblano peppers stuffed with shredded nicely seasoned, a little spicy, tender chicken enhanced with tomato and onion. The flavors are good I think most people would enjoy these peppers. The corn are fresh and crisp. Most of the seasoning is in one spot and when you mix it into the corn it turns south west flavors of warm and earthy and spiked with chili peppers. The rice taste like it just made…It taste buttery and and lets all the other flavors shine. Fresh made cheese sauce is a nice treat…I like that this dish isn’t swimming in rivers of cheese like most New Mexico Cuisine I’ve tried….This is approachable sensible New Mexico Style Plate.
My husband tries the Slow Braised Pork Short Rib in Hatch Chile Verde.
It was tender and delicious and came with rice, black beans and flour tortillas.
I thought I had room for dessert so we gave the Bananas Foster Ice Cream Tortas a try!
OMG! This was delicious!
It’s also twice are large as I thought it would be……
It’s like a doughnut stuffed with ice-cream that’s dressed with with this delicious, not too sweet bananas sautéed in anejo rum, butter, brown sugar and sprinkled with walnuts…. You get a mix of the warm sauce, warm doughnut….a little savory against the sweet creamy ice cream and delicious bananas. This was really great!
I’d say my first taste at Urban Margarita was Worth a Fork!
