After getting Asada from La Carniceria…
We always pop into La Michoacana for a Paleta. But today as I walked in… I saw big new signs… MICHIAGUAS!!!
What is a Michiagua?
First you start with fresh fruit agua fresca. And they have quite a few… lime with cucumber, orange, even passion fruit!
Then… it’s given the micheliada treatment with Tajin and Chamoy and a TON of fresh cut fruit on top. It was HEAVEN. And Huge!
This was the Naranja con Pina one… The fruit is actually hovering above the drink in a dome lid 'dish). You can eat it with a fork or after yout take a few sips, you can dump it in the drink (My recommendation!), Like most of these crazy Mexican snacks… especially when Chamoy is involved… it’s messy. It’s glad you always have wet naps because it’s a pandemic sorta messy. But so refreshing and tingling all your notes. Sweet, sour, spicy, salty. As always, Chamoy is optional… and so you can just have it with Tajin if you don’t want re-live your crazy youth like me… but even so… be sure to ask for plenty of napkins so the occasional fruit overboard…
–Dommy!
