Last evening my friend and I had a date night at Pachanga Patterson in Astoria. Oh so delicious. Our gracious host greeted us and invited us to sit at the bar while we waited a few minutes for our table. With a rustic feel, lights webbed across the ceiling, and tables close I felt like I was in a little nook with friends and family. J and I settled on the half litre of Pachanga sangria (apples, oranges, mango juice, rum). Then after much more deliberation we decided to share the Cheese Quesadilla with oyster mushroom, roasted corn, and Monterey jack cheese. And after discovering that the Cider Braised Pork, ancho chili pork filled tamale was in fact not spicy we both picked that. Oh heavens. The pork fell right off into the pool of sauce sitting on the plate waiting to be absorbed into the tamales. The little salad made me feel super healthy. Of course we had so much room left in us that we needed dessert. We decided on the El Diablito Cake which the blog We Heart Astoria describes so perfectly. I then proceeded to run 5 miles in an attempt to ever feel hungry again.
