Editorial Review for Salpicon
Upscale and intimate, this colorful Mexican restaurant draws Old Town regulars with its authentic fare and wine/tequila list.

In Short
Brightly colored and casual, Salpicon teems with fans of Priscila Satkoff's authentic Mexican fare. Dishes are dazzling and memorable: queso fundido with onions, tiger shrimp and hunks of serrano chili, entrees like sliced pork tenderloin with a smoky potato-chorizo mixture, and Black Angus tenderloin with melted Chihuahua cheese. Desserts include pastel tres leches: an airy mound of milk-soaked cake "frosted" with whipped cream in a bed of raspberry and mango sauces.

Insider Tips
What to Drink
Choose from 100 sipping tequilas, flights of anejos, blancos, reposados, ultra-premiums, mescals and the "connoisseur's" selection; have a house margarita with Herradura Silver. The list of French, American, Spanish and South American wines compliment spicy foods.

The Extras
A seven-course tasting menu is available for $60 per person, $95 when paired with wines.
