Y'all know that I really like Publico. I've told you that. But, it's been a while since we've been there. Yesterday was my birthday. So, the three of us decided to continue the celebration of me by having lunch at our favorite neighborhood joint today.
I got there thinking that I'd order the Classic Carnitas and the Sambol Fish taco. Like I usually do. But once there, I thought, "no, I'm going to try something new this time." I chose the Thai Shrimp Burger.
So, this is a burger made of giant chunks of shrimp. This is significant because too often restaurant dishes really skimp on the shrimp. The burger is served on a fresh bun with red onion relish that is delicious. There's also a Thai peanut sauce and orange sesame aioli. It's a very flavorful and successful fusion of tastes. I could only eat half of it though; it's a big sandwich. I definitely recommend this one!
Neil decided on the burrito du jour, the "Wingerito." It was stuffed with pulled chicken with a chipotle wing sauce, brown rice, lettuce and black beans. It was really yummy. Of course, Neil had them also jam as many jalapenos as they could fit into it. Many of you know that Neil's heat addiction knows no bounds. He's constantly on a quest for what he considers hot and it's rarely what others can even tolerate. Today he sampled a coconut Ghost pepper sauce and admitted "it's hot." That says a lot.
Now, the Vivver decided on her "usual," the Crunchy Avocado taco. Can I tell you how much I love that my kid has an avocado taco as her "usual?"
It also never hurts to start off with guac and queso. The chips are always warm and salty. The guac is creamy and the queso, well, what's not to love about melty cheese?
Publico has completed their back porch/deck area. Today they had some astro-turf out with hula hoops, cornhole and a baby pool in the parking lot. I'm not sure if this was special for the holiday weekend, or if this is a new fixture. And, since the last time I was there, they've added brunch. Check out the menu here. Enjoy!
