After getting freaky-deaky I knew Patrón Tequila were having Kick-Off party at El Granjero Cantina that Lawrence was promoting. El Granjero Cantina & Patrón were throwing a Patrón Holiday Party at The Original Farmers Market. It seemed like a natural transition to me from my Freak Brothers expedition. The place was friendly and I found a table with a people watching view. I ended up having two servers because of a shift change. Both were very accommodating. I had arrived a little after 3. From what read the party started at 4. My goal was to have a nice meal and sip a couple of shots tequilas. Near the end of my carnitas burrito (aji verde rice, salsa crudo, guacamole, pickled onions, romaine, cilantro, burrito sauce), chips and guacamole meal the manager informed me the party was going to be moved to Sunday. I was a bit disappointed but I was on the fade too. The manager was so very kind to bring a bottle of Patrón’s “Cask Collection Tequila” of “Sherry Cask Aged” Anejo Tequila. The tequila had the smooth warm quality of sherry that line a velvet hug in you mouth. Everyone was so kind and generous with their time. The food was mild for my taste in Mexican food but very flavorful. The salsa was mildly sweet and smokey while the guacamole was fresh and lively with overtones of lime. It was a delightful filling meal. I was ready for a cat nap at the casa. Be sure to check their social media for the Patrón party. Patrón always has great events and parties. If I wasn’t shooting Sing 2 at The Greek on Sunday I’d be there with bells on! @elgranjerocantina @patron @farmersmarketla #elgranjero #mexicanfood #carnitas #guacamole #tequila #patrontequila
