The Best Thing I Ever Ate - Chicken

There is a local Mexican restaurant here called Mucho Gusto and they used to have some of the very best food in the East Valley in the Phoenix area. Recently I have heard that they haven't been putting out the same quality of food, but back in the day I used to love this Tequila Chicken that they would have on special most days.

I got Tequila Chicken and Tom got Gaucho Steak
The chicken was super moist with a creamy tequila sauce and served with New Mexican mashed potatoes and sauteed veggies. It was heavenly. Tom was enjoying a steak and a big caeser salad.

What is your favorite way to enjoy chicken?

  1. I haven't had Mexican food for a while (maybe 1.5 weeks haha) and you make me want to eat some. New Mexican mashed potatoes? That sounds delicious!

  2. Yummy, it's amazing all the wonderful things you can do with chicken. I would have a hard time deciding what's my favorite! I like it all doctored up but also simple and fresh on the grill with just a bit of rosemary lemon seasoning salt and freshly ground pepper.
