☁️ Don’t let those gray skies keep you inside today! A little overcast weather is the perfect excuse to get out and enjoy another beautiful seasonal Saturday with us at Sabor de México!

The Downtown Bloomington Farmers' Market is in full swing, and let me tell you, the vendor tables are absolutely loaded right now! There is so much amazing, fresh, local produce to pick from that I walked in and didn't even know where to begin. It's a chef's dream, but tough choices had to be made because we’ve got cooking to do! 🧺✨

Today, we're keeping things cozy and simple while we map out some massive culinary ideas for the rest of the season. On a gloomy, cloudy day like this, there is only one true cure...

🥣 Today's Special: Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Soup paired with our warm, homemade garlic bread! 🥖🧄

I’ve been wanting to make this for a while, and today’s weather practically begged for it. It is pure comfort in a bowl!

🥕 But wait... did you notice something else peeking out of my market bags?

While I couldn't fit every idea into today's menu, those beautiful local carrots aren't going to waste. Consider this your delicious sneak peek: Homemade Carrot Cake is officially coming to the menu starting next Tuesday! 🍰

🌱 Bonus Market Find: I also picked up some incredible, fragrant local basil today! To brighten up this cloudy weekend, we’re mixing up a Gin Basil Smash. We are pairing that fresh local basil with premium Mexican gin to create a bright, herbaceous, and deeply refreshing cocktail you have got to try. 🍸

Come shake off the gloom, grab a warm bowl of soup, and say hi! We can't wait to see you! 🇲🇽❤️

¡Hola amigos! 🍹✨

As many of you know, I spend a lot of time tucked away in the kitchen and behind the bar, working on exciting new dishes and drinks. Well, I think it’s about time I share some of those secrets with you!

That is why I am so excited to host our very first Margarita Master Class! We are going to dive into the basics of crafting the perfect margarita—from choosing the right fresh ingredients and nailing the exact measurements, to even discussing the hidden importance of good ice!

To make things even better, we are teaming up with our friends at El Bandido Yankee Tequila! They know a thing or two about top-tier, quality tequila, so you know we’re going to be learning from the best and tasting the good stuff. 🎉

Phew, it has been a scorcher of a week, and it doesn’t look like it’s cooling down anytime soon! 🥵☀️

But no matter how hot it gets outside, we've got you covered here at Sabor de México. The drinks are always ice-cold, and the food is always served exactly how it’s supposed to be—whether that means piping hot straight from the kitchen or perfectly chilled! 🌮🍹

🎆 4th of July Weekend Hours Update 🎆

But don't worry, you can still get your fix before the weekend! We are OPEN tonight and tomorrow (Friday, July 3rd).

Come beat the heat, escape the kitchen, and dine with us! See you soon! ✨

¡Hola, Todos! ☀️🌴

Looks like it’s going to be a cloudy day today, but no matter what the weather is doing outside, it is going to feel absolutely tropical inside the restaurant!

First off, I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who tried our fish tacos and gave me feedback during the Test Kitchen. You all gave me the confidence to officially bring them back to the menu!

Starting tonight, June 25th, and running every other Thursday until the end of summer, we are officially hosting Tropical/Tiki Nights here at Sabor de México! Don't worry, Torta Thursday is still very much loved and appreciated, so we will just be alternating between the two each week.

Now, I’m leaning a bit more "tropical" than strict "tiki"—mostly because true tiki cocktails are their own complex class of drinks that I haven't completely nailed down just yet, but I digress! We are bringing the ultimate beach vacation vibes straight to Colfax.

🏝️ Tonight's Tropical Lineup
🌮 The Return of Fish Tacos: Crispy, golden, and topped with those smoky roasted pepper rajas you all loved.

🍹 Mexican Rum Cocktails: We are mixing up fresh Daiquiris and Mojitos featuring authentic Mexican rum. Just a little heads-up: Mexican rum isn’t your usual sweet rum; it has a much bolder, funkier taste that is very similar to a rhum agricole!

❄️ Frozen Margaritas: Ice-cold, slushy, and perfect for a summer evening.

Don't worry—our regular menu is still fully available tonight too! So break out your favorite Hawaiian shirts, bring your best tropical vibes, and let’s take a trip together to the beaches of Acapulco, the Bahamas, or your personal Kokomo. We promise you won't lose your shaker of salt here! 🦜🌊

We'll see you tonight!

¡Hola, familia! ☀️

What a beautiful morning it was at the farmer's market today! You know, I do sometimes miss those mornings at the market back when we were vendors, but what I definitely don't miss is getting up at the crack of dawn to haul everything and set up the stall! 😅

As the season progresses, there is just so much more fresh produce to work with. That’s truly the best part of the market—seeing all those vibrant colors and getting hit with instant inspiration for new ideas in the kitchen.

Before we talk about the menu, check out this week's incredible local haul:

🚜 Troyer Family Gardens (Hudson, IL): Beautiful purple and gold cauliflower!

🚜 Ioerger Family Farms (Minonk, IL): Bunches of gorgeous, fresh beets.

🚜 O'Rourke Family Gardens (Downs, IL): Fresh kale, kohlrabi, and radishes.

Here is what we are cooking up for you this weekend:

🥣 The Return of a Fan Favorite: Tortas de Coliflor
I was only able to make this dish once last year, but it was a massive hit! Today, we are bringing back Tortas de Coliflor en Salsa de Jitomate. These are delicious, light cauliflower croquettes made with parmesan cheese and onion, simmered in a savory, comforting tomato sauce. We're serving them up the right way with rice, beans, and fresh tortillas.

🥗 Back by Popular Demand: Seasonal Kale Salad
We received so much amazing feedback from last week's menu that I just had to bring our fresh market salad back! It features our crisp kale, kohlrabi, and radishes, all tossed in our house-made guajillo vinaigrette. Perfect for a warm day!

🧪 Help Me Experiment! (Beet Appetizer Test)
For those who love to be part of our Test Kitchen experiments, I need your help! I’m using those fresh beets from Ioerger Family Farms to create a brand-new appetizer. I haven't quite figured out the entire dish yet, so if you're feeling adventurous tonight, come on in and help me taste-test and perfect it!

From the market to our kitchen to your table—come celebrate the best of the season with us tonight. The drinks are cold, the food is fresh, and we’ve got a seat saved for you!

¡Hola, familia! ☀️

It is another Seasonal Saturday here at Sabor de México, and we are finally getting into the full swing of things! As the markets grow and fresh produce becomes more available, it only makes my job easier and more exciting to share these flavors with you.

I am especially thrilled about today’s menu because it features several ingredients I’ve been experimenting with since last week. Today’s fresh haul comes from our friends at O'Rourke Family Gardens in Downs, Illinois, and includes vibrant kale, kohlrabi, radishes, and green shallots. To pair with this beautiful produce, we are featuring premium beef skirt steak from Kilgus Farmstead in Fairbury, Illinois.

🥩 A Family-Style Carne Asada Experience
We are officially in grilling season, and that always puts me in the mood for a classic carne asada. It brings back so many memories of cooking with my family, and today, I want to invite all of you to share in that experience right here at the restaurant.

On the Menu Today:

The Steak: Fresh skirt steak from Kilgus Farmstead, prepared in the exact same beer marinade we use for our own family cookouts.

The Pairings: Served with tender roasted green shallots and a fresh nopal pico de gallo.

The Salad: A crisp, seasonal kale salad featuring kohlrabi, radishes, sweet mango, toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds), and crumbled queso fresco is rounded out with a house-made Mexican guajillo vinaigrette for a fresh, bold finish.

There is nothing quite like the smell of the grill and the taste of local, seasonal ingredients to bring people together. Come on in tonight and enjoy this fresh carne asada experience with us!

We hope to see you tonight!

¡Hola, Todos! ☀️

It is another Saturday, and whew—it is a hot one out there today! But a hot summer day is the perfect excuse to escape the heat and join us for the very first Seasonal Saturday of June!

As some of you might remember, I teased a special dish last week. Well, for those who guessed it, the secret is finally out: today we are serving up incredible, melt-in-your-mouth Pork Belly!

🐖 Today's Featured Dish: Heritage Pork Belly
I wanted to do something truly special for this kickoff, so here is what we've put together for you:

The Pork: We are proudly sourcing this pork belly from Destiny Meats in Danvers, Illinois. They raise Duroc breed pork, which is famous in the culinary world as the "Angus of the pork world" due to its superior natural marbling, rich flavor, and unmatched tenderness. It renders down beautifully, making this pork belly unbelievably juicy.

The Flavor: We are pairing the rich pork belly with our vibrant, tangy house salsa verde.

The Crunch: The dish is topped with smoky, spicy rajas featuring beautifully grilled green shallots sourced straight from our friends at O’Rourke Family Gardens in Downs, Illinois.

👀 A Little Teaser for Next Week...
For those eagle-eyed fans who might have spotted my market bag, you probably noticed some other fresh local produce hiding in there, including kale and kohlrabi. I am going to be experimenting with both of those in the kitchen today in preparation for next week's featured dish—so keep your eyes peeled for what's coming next!

But for today, come on in, cool off, and get your pork belly fix. The drinks are ice-cold, the food is piping hot, and we have a table waiting for you! 🍻🔥

¡Hola, Todos! Get ready, because tomorrow, Wednesday, June 3rd, we are firing up the stoves for another Test Kitchen session—and this is one I’ve been wanting to bring to you for a long time now!

🌮 The Main Attraction: Our Take on Fish Tacos
We are putting the Sabor spin on a coastal classic. Here is what we're working on for you tomorrow:

The Fish: Crispy, golden beer-battered fish fried to a perfect crunch.

The Topping: Loaded with smoky, tender roasted pepper rajas.

The Sauces: I’m whipping up a sauce or two to go along with it to perfectly complement and tie all those rich flavors together.

As always with our Test Kitchen nights, we need your appetite and your honest feedback to help us really nail this new dish!

Come on in tomorrow and be the first to let us know what you think. We’ll have a table waiting for you at Sabor de México!
