So, we're finding the JJ enjoys his walks….and I mean "walks". He's quite the trooper. We just got back from Santa Barbara and he did the 5 mile round trip walk with no problem!
So, the Missus was trying to figure out where to take the "J-mon" and thought of High Dive. It had been a while since we visited and I noticed hat there are Wednesday specials as well. It was a nice mile walk; downhill one way, uphill on the return, and JJ did well.
We sat in the patio; it was such a nice day for February. And yes, there are Wednesday specials.
We were tempted by all the birria options; but in the end, that just seemed like a bit much. Instead, we went with a favorite of ours; the Chicken Chicharron ($12) and some Elote Asado ($8). All to be washed down with a Buenaveza Mexican Lager ($8) for me and the Missus had a Steigl Grapefruit Radler ($8).
The Missus had always enjoyed the Steigl Grapefruit Radler… so much that we visited the Stiegl-Keller Gastgarten in Salzburg, where their Headquarters and Brewery is located. She loves the refreshing flavor and the low (2%) ABV.
Soon enough the Chicken Chicharron arrived.
The salty-mildy spicy-tangy-sour Tajin does this dish well. The thinner slices are really crisp…like explodes when you take a bite crisp. Mildly "fowl-ly", this is by far our favorite item at High Dive. It goes so well with a nice Cerveza.
The Elote was warm, crunchy, but had a bit too much butter for our taste.
We used up all the lime to balance out the flavors. Not bad, but not sure we'll have this again.
Our Server was wonderful; the vibe is quite laid back, JJ got some water to relax and then barked at dogs walking by! I'm sure we'll be back…right JJ?
