Azul Fuego

We tend not to go out to eat too much when at home. We save that treat mostly for when we travel, though we do go out to eat some. Last night was one of those rare occasions. We tried a new Mexican (new to us) restaurant in nearby Louisville, called Azul Fuego (Blue Fire).

There are both inside and outside dining options. We ate inside this time.

The outside patio is very nice and inviting, and very large too. Eating inside was nice, but I would have preferred to dine al fresco, on the patio. Next time. 🙂

We went with Janet and Bob and their friends Joe and Louise. The six of us had a fun time over delicious meals. We started off with some specialty drinks from the bar and some chips, salsa and guacamole while we waited for our food to arrive.

Most of us all ordered something different, and everything was delicious. But then you would expect that when all the food is made from scratch daily, using only high quality foods and ingredients and attention to detail.

I ordered shrimp with garlic and vegetables or camerones al mojo de ajo.

Larry ordered the Chile Verde Burrito.

And the other dishes that were ordered included chicken mole,

enchilada suiza x2

and a Mexican BBQed pork dish or Cochinita Pibil.

The servings are very generous, and most of us didn’t finish our meals. It’s a good thing restaurants have to-go boxes. The food was too good to just leave there and it will be enjoyed again for another meal later. 🙂

Though most of us did not finish our meals, we all sampled the flan after. We ordered two that we split between the six of us. So we all had just a couple of bites to give us something sweet to eat after our meal. The flan was very creamy; it was like golden velvet, with just the right amount of sweetness.

We all had a deliciously fun evening.
