(Downtown Long Beach Restaurant Now Offers More South American Fare)
On the heels of a 6-month-long remodel, Alegria in Long Beach has announced a new menu and beverage list featuring more South American and Spanish influenced fare, announced owner Adrian Amosa. With its new fresh look as a backdrop, Alegria has expanded its offerings to include several cuts of choice grade beef including a filet mignon with cinnamon scented mushroom wine sauce, skirt steak in a citrus scented chimichurri and a Cuban style flank steak. Several chicken, shrimp and fresh fish offerings round out the entrees, most of which are priced around $20.
Among the appetizers that are meant to be shared are Muscovy Duck Barbacoa, Lamb Chops a la Parilla, Alegria Fire Calamari and Empanadas de Picadillo stuffed with beef, capers, raisins and spices. In addition to wines from Argentina, Spain, Chile and California and Alegria’s popular house-made sangria, a new cocktail list features several traditional drinks as well as some new ones like the Dragonberry Mojito with dragonberry rum, passion fruit, lime juice and mint leaves; Sweet & Spicy Caipirinha with Bacardi rum and jalapeño and mango extract; and the Bobby Burns with Dewar’s White Label, sweet vermouth, Benedictine and angostura bitters all priced at $10.
