Take Time for Tequila and Tacos Next Week at Atkins Park

Don't miss your chance to experience the four-course "Tequila & Taco" dinner at Atkins Park Tavern in Virginia Highland this Thursday, April 28 at 7 p.m. Each delicious dish is paired with Tanteo, Herradura and Ocho tequila-based libations to tip back, all for $40 per person plus tax and gratuity. Dinner starts with chorizo and potato tostadas with queso añejo and squash blossom and epazote quesadillas chased by a Bloody Maria that's potent with Tanteo hand-infused jalapeño tequila. The second course features grilled mahi mahi served with chipotle lime crema, cilantro jicama slaw, El Milagro corn tortillas and fire-roasted tomato rice cooled by a watermelon and cilantro margarita potent with Herradura tequila. Smoked grass-fed brisket comes next, dressed with roasted poblanos and Vidalia onions, queso añejo, grilled flour tortilla, refried black beans and avocado quenched by a Paloma made with Ocho Tequila Plato, grapefruit soda, agave nectar and lime. Even dessert comes with tequila! Tanteo hand-infused cocoa tequila arrives with the waffle taco of salted dulce de leche ice cream, dark chocolate and roasted peanuts. Forgo the siesta until after you make reservations, or you'll miss out.

Atkins Park Tavern - Virginia Highland: 794 North Highland Avenue; 404 -876-7249.
