The Saint

"Looks like a guy who you think is called Hermano is going to get his ass kicked."
-Gob Bluth

The Saint's house margarita, the Hermano, is delicious! I'm not typically a connoisseur of tequila, but this is awesome.

But then Emilie ordered an Old and Nutty, which is burbon (Old Crow I think ?), orange bitters, ginger syrup, and nutmeg. It was so fabulous, that's what AJ and I both ordered on our next round.

The Old & Nutty, and a guacamole plate

We tried the yuca fries, which are like big steak fries and the yuca is stringier and mealier than a potato, but not bad. AJ and I both had the tasty chicken mole. Her happy hour portion was not much smaller than my full portion, and both come with cute little flour tortillas, rice, and kidney beans.

I dragged Michael there for happy hour soon after, as I was craving another Old and Nutty. He didn't love his drink, which was like an old fashioned but with tequila. But we did enjoy the guacamole, which comes with a generous basket of chips, and three kinds of salsa.


My first impression of The Saint -- before I went there -- was that it was full of itself and snooty. It's bright blue exterior is super cute, but the lack of signage/advertising made me think it was a too-cool-for-school kind of place. But really, how could a place that used to house the Wing Dome be anything but awesome? Turns out, it is pretty casual (at happy hour anyway) and is just about good tequila and yummy food.
