If you are enjoying a Cancun vacation with us this month, enjoy a very Mexican evening on September 15 at Hacienda Sisal or The Royal Sands.
Chiles en nogada at Hacienda Sisal
Book your table at Hacienda Sisal this September for an evening of Mexican cuisine and music in a splendid setting. Order chiles en nogada, the classic Independence dish in the patriotic colors of red, green and white. This is a Mexican masterpiece, made to the traditional recipe from Puebla. Poblano chilies with a savory-sweet filling of minced pork and beef, onion, garlic, tomato, peach, apple, pear, plantain, cinnamon, nutmeg, pine nuts, almonds, walnuts and raisins, topped with a creamy walnut sauce and sprinkled with pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley. It looks beautiful and tastes just as good.
You’ll find many other classic recipes on the menu, including antojitos or Mexican snacks for sharing, guacamole prepared tableside, mole, carnitas, flautas, enchiladas, steaks and seafood and delicious chef’s creations such as lobster Sisal.
There’s live Mexican music during the week, with a group on Tuesday and Thursday and mariachis on Wednesday. The Tequila and Mezcal Experience pairs a selection of these two spirits with different dishes on Monday and Friday. Reservations required. The popular Sunday Brunch also has a Mexican flavor.
