Kick it up a notch on the spice scale with Senor Tequila’s chorizo tacos. A special kind of sausage typically found in Mexican restaurants, Senor Tequila maximizes on that uniqueness by making it fresh in the restaurant every day, similar to how it’s made in Mexico. Preparing this special kind of sausage that serves as the base of the dish takes careful precision and patience when combining ground pork, ground beef and a delicate mix of pepper, salt, garlic and cumin with three different types of hot chiles. Each order comes with three tacos and a side of rice, beans and a salad topped with sour cream, cheese and tomatoes. To add a bit of soothing coolness to the spice, pile your tacos high with house-made guacamole or pico de gallo. “Here, we try to keep the recipes as we do it in Mexico, authentic and delicious,” says owner Luis Martinez. 13114 Shaker Square, Cleveland, 216-991-2035, senortequilacleveland.com
