Shrimp in a beer

On the way back from the Channel Islands, we stopped for lunch at Mariscos Puerto Nuevo in Soledad, which I’d previously written up in the aptly titled, An alternative garnish for Mexican beer. Somehow I remembered exactly where the place was, 4 years later. Here is their signature Mexican beer, garnished with both a wedge of lime and a shrimp dipped in hot sauce.

You eat the shrimp, and insert the lime into the beer. At least that’s what I do. And apparently I’m not the only one:

I did a double take when I noticed that a hot-sauce-drizzled shrimp accompanied the slice of lime atop my bottle of beer – but it didn’t last long. After my hours of hiking, I was ravenous.

I’ve lived in Soledad my entire life, and even though Mariscos Puerto Nuevo is going on seven years of service, I’ve yet to stop by! If you’re ever passing through again, and looking for some amazing Mexican food, I recommend dropping by La Fuente–it’s on Front St. (the long road that passes through Soledad), alongside the highway…cheers!
