There’s a rule that almost no one says out loud: appetizers set the mood for the whole table. If you start off well, the entire meal will go smoothly.<\/p>\n

If you’re in a group, this isn’t an option, it’s a must: the 4×4.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Guacamole, 5 boneless chicken pieces, calamari rings, cilantro cheese, and fresh vegetables. All in one order, so no one has to decide for themselves.<\/p>\n

If you’re craving something substantial: Nachos Vicenta.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With carne asada, a blend of melted cheeses, pico de gallo, refried beans, sour cream, and guacamole. The kind of appetizer that rivals the main course.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for something with texture: Crispy Calamari Rings.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Served on a bed of jicama, with chipotle tartar sauce, Taj\u00edn seasoning, and lime. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, perfect for snacking while you decide what to order next.<\/p>\n

If cheese reigns supreme at your table: Bacon Cheese Dip<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Simple, straightforward, addictive. No one says they’ll finish it alone, and it always happens.<\/p>\n

The plan is not to wait for the main course to start enjoying it. Build your own round of appetizers before someone else decides for you. Come try them at La Vicenta Miyana, Vallejo, or Tezontle.<\/p>\n
