Festive Holiday Favorites at Diane Powers Bazaar del Mundo Restaurants?
Serving up festive fare with a holiday twist, Diane Powers’ award-winning Bazaar del Mundo Restaurants: Casa Guadalajara, Casa de Pico, Casa de Bandini and Casa Sol y Mar – present new delicious dishes that infuse traditional holiday flavors into their authentic Mexican offerings, and are available through the New Year.
Each restaurant is beautifully decked out for the season with colorful Christmas trees dressed in handmade Mexican ornaments, Mexican paper flowers, piñatas, painted tin ornaments, and lighted chili ristras. Strolling mariachis add to each restaurant’s cheerful ambiance.
In keeping with the restaurants’ annual holiday tradition, each will serve the ever-popular Turkey mole tamales (available for take-out too), filled with tender turkey, raisins, chopped pecans and apples, all topped with a rich mole sauce and sesame seeds.
The holiday menus also include: Casa Guadalajara, Old Town: Birria de Res, a traditional recipe from Guadalajara Mexico featuring beef cooked in three different chiles and spices; Crema de Elote, roasted corn, potatoes, onions, poblano chiles, pepper, cilantro and chipotle combine to create a delicious cream soup; and Flan de Calabaza, the restaurant’s signature flan combined with fresh pumpkin.
In addition to these new seasonal items, all the Bazaar del Mundo Restaurants present a beautiful environment for holiday parties, especially while splendidly decorated for the season. Catering is also available.
The Bazaar del Mundo Shops and Casa Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant are at the north entrance to Old Town San Diego on the corner of Juan and Taylor, located at 4105 Taylor Street. For information, visit www.casaguadalajara.com.
