Dining Out<br />

Cantina Laredo<br />

Guacamole de Guillermo<br />

Looking for a place to wind<br />

down after doing a mall<br />

crawl, but the food court<br />

isn’t your style? Maybe a topshelf<br />

margarita and some<br />

top-shelf guacamole could<br />

help with an attitude adjustment? The<br />

Galleria at <strong>Roseville</strong> has just the place:<br />

Cantina Laredo. I’ve had my attitude<br />

adjusted there a couple of times since<br />

discovering them.<br />

Billed on their website as a “Taste<br />

of Modern Mexico,” they do feature<br />

a couple of interesting variations on<br />

“traditional” Mexican restaurant cuisine<br />

(whatever traditional means where<br />

you’re from).<br />

On a Thursday evening, with a<br />

country trio playing in the front<br />

of the house, I started with the<br />

aforementioned top-shelf guacamole<br />

(look for guacamole de guillermo on<br />

their printed menu) and chips. Plenty of<br />

guac for three people—two avocados, a<br />

roasted serrano pepper, onions, garlic,<br />

cilantro, and fresh lime juice—and<br />

served with their house-made salsa and<br />

fresh chips, it’s a meal in itself.<br />

Next, I tried one of the variations<br />

I mentioned—camaron poblano<br />

asada, an entrée featuring shrimp,<br />

mushrooms, and jack cheese stuffed<br />

into a roasted poblano pepper and<br />

wrapped in fire-charred skirt steak with<br />

Tajín Watermelon Rita<br />
