If you like your Mexican food spicy, make sure your next dining trip is to Diablo’s Cantina; no matter what you order here, you’ll be given the option of ordering a salsa tasting, which features mild green salsa (roasted tomatillo jalapeño), medium red salsa (roasted tomato chipotle) and hot reaper salsa (roasted tomato Carolina Reaper, a serious bad boy in the pepper world). If you’re brave and don’t fear the reaper, prepare for a taste explosion at Diablo’s.
Of course, those flavors will go down a lot better with some cocktail companionship, and Diablo’s features some great tequilas and mezcals on its margarita menu: The Passionfruit Fiesta (Olmeca Altos Plata tequila, passionfruit, fresh lemon and lime juice); the Chupacabra (El Silencio Espadin Mezcal, cilantro and fresh lime juice); and Mango Picante (Cazadores Blanco tequila, spicy mango and fresh lime juice).
Appetizers like nachos and quesadillas are the perfect gateway for main courses like the enchilada combination (beef barbacoa, chicken and garlic shrimp) and Alambre tacos, made with filet mignon, chorizo, poblano peppers, cilantro, onion and what Diablo’s calls its “OMG cheese blend.” You can also opt for fowl with Diablo’s chicken, crispy wings served with that legendary Carolina Reaper sauce, celery and carrot sticks and your choice of ranch or blue cheese, or seafood with the Baja beer-battered fish tacos.
Your mouth could probably use a break by now, so choose from one of two tasty desserts: the churro funnel cake, served with cinnamon ice cream, strawberry marmalade, Nutella and chocolate sauce, or the fried platano split, a fried plantain topped with cinnamon ice cream, berries, condensed milk, chocolate and cajeta sauce.
