Family Restaurant, Secret Recipes, and Mexican Tours... Oh My!



Interviewed: Manager Erika Price

In the video above, I asked Price a few questions about Los Equipales. Some of the points that I would like to reemphasize are the history of the restaurant, the ingredients to the salmon al tequila, and the tours that they give to their customers. The history of the restaurant is that it is a family business and that the family comes from Mexico, which is why the restaurant is Mexican style. The ingredients to the salmon al tequila are their own recipe of tomato sauce and a little bit of tequila. She could not give me any more details about the entree because the dish is a family recipe. The tours that they give to their customers are places that they select in Mexico, which one of the highlights is a specific Mexican dish that they give to their customers. This video should give you the standard information about Los Equipales. Here is the link to their restaurant http://www.losequipales.com/. Please let me know of any restaurants that you would like me to review.

Los Equipales' Salmon al Tequila




































First, I would like to thank Susan Romano for recommending Los Equipales. On Sunday at 2:30 p.m., I went to this restaurant to review their services and one of their dishes. When I arrived, the waiter immediately took me to a table.

The menu had plenty of dishes to choose from in their restaurant, and the descriptions made each one sound delicious. I asked the manager Erika Price to show me the most popular dish on the menu, but she stated that the customers do not chose a particular dish. However, Price did state that their specialty is their seafood selection, which is the reason why I ordered the Salmon al Tequila. The dish is poached salmon topped with mild tequila cream and is served with pablano rice and vegetables of the day. The price for this entree is $19.

Once I order the dish, they gave me a appetizer dish of ranch and vegetables, which were freshly sliced. I enjoyed this little appetizer, while I waited for my meal. The main entree arrived in eight to nine minutes and looked delicious. The salmon was very tender and juicy, and the sauce on the salmon increased the flavor. In the sauce, I could taste one of the main ingredients, which were tomatoes. The vegetables were perfectly grilled and gave a good amount of juicy in every bite. Finally, the rice was soft, warm, and gave a unique flavor, but it was nothing special.

Overall, the dish and the service were very good. Above the text is a video of the food and atmosphere of the restaurant, so you can get a better visual of my experience in this place. After I ate, I interviewed Price, which you can read in the next post. Please let me know of your own experiences at the Los Equipales.
