El chanate- snowbird resort Utah

It's ironic to find a Mexican restuarant within a snow covered resort in Utah but there below the piles of snow, el chanate cantina is serving up over 30 types of margueritas.

The almondrita, an almond enhanced reposada tequila was quite invigorating.. Sweet citrusy almond flavoring :




Appetizers offer a variety of crisps: an Americanized crispy Mex pizza style presented on a fried tortilla, this one with spicy jalepenos and sprinkled with black beans. Oddly enough it reminded me of the Mexican pizza taco bell offers (do they still sell that? What was Mexican about it again?.. Hmmm):



The carnitas chile verde came out in a bowl, chunks of pork cooked in an oniony tomatilla salsa, went well with crispified tortilla chips. You can tell the tomatillo salsa was the bottled hernandez kind and not the shredded pork style but despite that, dipping delicious:



The tortilla soup was a little different, but good nonetheless. Chincks if chicken were simmered in a hearty tortilla crisp covered soup, with a spoonful of avocado thrown in:


The mud pie dessert was a coffee flavored ice cream and caramel drizzled pie on top of a chocolate Graham crust... Definately not Mexican but for the sweet tooth, went down well



It was deifnately Mexican influenced foods, tequila offerigs were good and filling plates.
