Q & A:
~ Cinnamon Churros or Mango Mini Cupcakes? Cinnamon Churros, especially when they sit so cute on top of our Churro con Abuelita Brownie Bites!
~ How many years have you worked at La Pera? 3 yrs as a FT employee, but have been working with La Pera since before the pandemic โ around 4 1/2 yrs total
~ Your favorite drink to keep cool in the Texas summer? Passionfruit Iced Tea or if Iโm relaxing by the water on a day off then any Texas-sized Margarita hits the spot
~ Youโre stranded on a desert island and can have only one kind of taco, what would it be? Iโm a sucker for seafood so Iโd definitely go with a shrimp taco most definitely โ on a blue corn tortilla with some slaw & lime to be exact!
~ Your favorite dish at La Pera? This is a tough one for me because I literally love ALL of our menu but if I have to pick one dish Iโll go with Chili rubbed Salmonโฆfor today. The poblano cream sauce is so good I could drink it!

Puerto Vallarta birria-nspiration ๐ฎ This was our favorite place from our last trip, years ago before birria became trendy in the states - we'll be here every day, taking notes from the masters at Birrieria Robles who have been doing it right for almost 40 years!
She's alive! We've settled in to our brand new kitchen and seeing this beautiful door install made it all so real. Patio vibes coming soon! ๐๐ง๐น๐บ๐ฎ๐
