Our take: Lincoln Park’s Mexican flavor laboratory: El Tragon experiments with tradition and wins every time. Bring a bottle of smoky mezcal and brace for culinary fireworks.
Wine Pairing: The Glutton' calls for bold wines. Bring a robust Zinfandel or a rich Malbec. For white, try an aromatic Torrontés.
Beer Pairing: A full-bodied Mexican beer like Bohemia pairs well. For a craft option, try a imperial Mexican-style lager or a mole stout.
Spirits Pairing: Bring a bottle of premium añejo tequila like Don Julio 1942 for sipping. For cocktails, a mezcal like Ilegal Joven offers smoky complexity.
