| Reflecting its namesake---a beautiful bay in the Sea of Cortez, Baja California---Agua Verde's décor and menu are reminiscent of the sun-drenched topics. The dining rooms are painted in festive, colorful hues, and the food is undoubtedly Baja-style. At lunch, UW students and professors congregate for cafeteria-style service and tuck into tacos de la casa, three corn tortillas filled with anything from spicy catfish doused in a creamy avocado sauce to yams sautéed with mild chilies and onions, and an assortment of tortas (sandwiches). The full dinner service offers a more extensive menu comprising botanas (appetizers) and nightly specials the likes of pollo en mole, chicken smothered in a sweet chocolate sauce on Mondays, and carne asada, grilled flank steak rubbed with garlic and oil, on Thursdays. Chase the spicy food with a top shelf margarita or house-made horchata (an almond and rice drink), and save room for the Key lime pie. |
