Tequila Lime Shrimp at El Toro Grill

Tonight I was torn, because when we headed over to the Inn at Rio Rancho for dinner at the El Toro Grill, I had their calamari on my mind (as in, a craving). Theirs is very good-especially with the chipolte aoili sauce. However, I ended up ordering the tequila lime shrimp with the home made chorizo sausage and potatoes in a broth served with garlic infused grilled french bread.

I almost forgot to take a picture of it before I started to dig in!

Mark had the El Toro burger which I already did a previous post on (which he is quite content with and claims that it is as good if not better than the Holy Cow burger).

This tequila lime shrimp dish was insanely good! So full of flavors-it had a great kick to it from the home made chorizo sausage, yet you could taste every flavor component in the dish-the garlic, the cilantro, the lime. And, happily the potatoes were not soggy!

This is listed in their appetizer section and is enough for about 3 or 4 people to share. I had it as my meal and now I will be craving this dish in addition to their calamari. And, of course I HAVE to have one of their house hand made margaritas. This restaurant should NOT be a best kept secret! Go there and try them out! I know they also have a Sunday Brunch, so one of these days, I need to get over there for that too.
