Style Magazine - May 2022
Starting the month off with a mighty bang is Cinco de Mayo that commemorates the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French Empire (and is NOT their Independence Day which is celebrated September 16). We love a good party and never pass up the chance to have one. So, with that as inspiration, we bring you this month’s “30+ Local Latin American Restaurants To Try!” feature (page 85) that’s full of intoxicating eats that will guarantee a fiesta (definitely followed by a siesta!). While researching this article, we came across many other South American restaurants that warranted mention, thus expanding the feature to include Salvadoran, Brazilian, and other cuisines that will knock your socks off. Another holiday we can’t wait to celebrate this month is Mother’s Day (May 8). We all have our own ways of showing affection and appreciation towards our moms (or mother figures) on Mother’s Day, but as a magazine, we’ve come to love our “Get to Know” article each May that profiles some of the most magnificent mothers to grace our neighborhoods. Not a single one of them fails to inspire and warm our hearts, and this year’s “Mighty Moms” piece (page 16) is no less. If it weren’t already apparent, we’ve got so much good content on the following pages. So, grab a margarita (or any of the coffees in our “Hot List” department on page 102—if that’s more your thing), grab the family (including mom!), and make the most of May. Cheers and happy everything! —Tara Mendanha tara@stylemg.com

30+Restaurants to try!<br />
Mezcalito Oaxacan<br />
Cuisine specializes in<br />
Oaxacan delicacies and<br />
if you need to know one<br />
thing about Oaxaca, it’s<br />
affectionately known as the<br />
“land of the seven moles.”<br />
So, it’s only right that you<br />
try the Oaxaca’s Favorite:<br />
Free-range chicken<br />
marinated with Oaxacan<br />
fresh herbs, served with<br />
your choice of mole rojo,<br />
estofado or mole verde.<br />
(They’re all one better than<br />
the other!) And when (not<br />
if) you order the tlayuda<br />
(corn tortilla toasted and<br />
smothered in black bean<br />
paste with cabbage,<br />
quesillo, avocado, queso<br />
fresco, tomato, radish,<br />
and spinach) make sure<br />
you level up with Oaxaca’s<br />
traditional meal, tasajo<br />
(thinly sliced tri-tip with<br />
sautéed mushrooms,<br />
and onion). 5065 Pacific<br />
Street, Rocklin, 916-701-4772,<br />

Colina Del Oro in Diamond Springs proves that you can’t let appearances fool<br />
you. Exteriors might look unassuming but inside you’ll find a cozy, welcoming<br />
restaurant for the whole family—the kind of place where you hear just as much<br />
about the service as the food. Speaking of food, check out the Camarones<br />
Don Felipe: Shrimp wrapped in bacon with butter, garlic, and spicy southwest<br />
seasonings, sprinkled with parmesan cheese, and served with red potatoes and<br />
rice. Dios mio! 694 Pleasant Valley Road, Suite 1, Diamond Springs, 530-295-8356<br />
