Dining Detectives
We
love Sausalito and always enjoy taking the Golden Gate
Ferry from the City especially on a beautiful sunny summer day.
Our destination was Restaurateur-Executive Chef Joanne
Weir's www.JoanneWeir.com
new Mexican restaurant called Copita Taquileria Y Comida
which is right in the middle of town on Bridgeway. Joanne has
extensive culinary credentials as a T.V.Celebrity Chef, author
and leader of culinary tours. She is also a James Beard Cooking
Class teacher, Julia Child Cooking Teacher Award winner and oh
yes spent 5 years cooking with Alice Waters at Chez Panise.

The
festively decorated restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating,
a rotisserie oven, a well stocked premium tequila bar, exudes
a fun vibe and was very busy on the afternoon that we dined. Joanne
who told us that she was thrilled to have her own restaurant loves
to experiment and had created a special three course Blueberry
Fiesta Lunch which featured blueberries. A Blueberry Margarita
made with Herradura tequila blanco, muddled blueberries, lime
and agave nectar was a perfect way to begin. Our first course
was a delicious and healthy Halibut & Blueberry Cerviche
with lime, spicy chile Serrano, cilantro and tortilla chips.
The
main course was fabulous California Kobe Steak Tacos
with hand made tortillas, house made chile chipolte and blueberry
salsa. We loved the medium rare steak and the fresh blueberries.
A
glass of Rose Wine and Blueberry Sangria paired perfectly. The
Requeson Quesadilla with Mexican cinnamon and anejo tequila
spiked blueberry nectarine compote dessert was also light and
refreshing.
We
truly enjoyed our lunch and are pleased to report that Copita
Taquileria Y Comida is a worthy culinary destination
in Sausalito. We look forward to returning soon for dinner and
another Blueberry Margarita.
