Located at the port where the sunset cruises come and go, Bacanora Grill is a new restaurant serving distinctively Sonoran dishes. Mexican home cooking.
For example the Caldo de Queso, cheese and potato soup. Squares of fresh farmers cheese, mixed with chiles in mild cream of mushroom type broth. On the side, quesadillas in thick home made flour tortillas.
Sonora is known for it’s beef and seafood. We try the parillada, a plate full of carne asada, chorizo, and ribs fresh from the grill. Enough for the two of us, we decide to add the chiles stuffed with shrimp, wrapped in bacon anyway. Everything is so fresh!
Why ‘Bacanora’? It’s a town in the heart of the state at the foot of the Sierra Madre mountains, a place to find all the best food Sonora has to offer. But it is also the name for the alcohol made from the agave plant that rivals the Tequila made down in Jalisco. What’s it like?
We order a Margarita. Bacanora not Tequila. Hmmm, right away you notice a smoky flavor. Kind of like Irish whiskey. Tastes good with the lime. Next time we have to try the Bacanora Mojito! By Richard Scott
Bacanora Grill is by the boats before you enter the Malecon / Fish Market area. Open from 1pm to 9pm
