Where Salsa is King. |
Salsa, the combination of chiles, tomatoes and other spices, can be traced to the Aztecs, Mayans and Incas. New York's best salsa can be traced to Rosa Mexicano, since 1984 the city's perennial favorite for modern Mexican cuisine. Anyone who's been there will tell you that highlights are the trademark pomegranate margaritas and the delightful choice of salsas. You'll find yourself scraping the bottom of those rustic bowls to get the last specks of spicy goodness.
Salsa de Piña is chunky and jammy, delicious on pork or duck; Tomato-Chipotle, perfect for shrimp, has more fire than the "medium" on its label suggests, but it finishes with a hint of sweetness; Salsa Verde de Habanero has balanced heat and is thin enough to drizzle on fish or to season guacamole; Chile Pasilla de Oaxaca, has an alluring muskiness and will leave your mouth aglow. They are fine just for dipping, but their bold flavors ask for even more creative uses. The Variety Pack includes one 16-ounce jar of each of the restaurant's signature salsas.
