Bailando Con El Diablo

Zócalo Cocina Mexicana Hosts a Special Evening Featuring the World’s Hottest Foods & Drink on Tuesday, January 17th, 2012!

WHAT: A popular Mexican legend tells the story of a disobedient young girl, who despite her parents’ wishes sneaks off to dance the night away. The most handsome and charming man at the dance sweeps her off her feet and before she knows it she is lost in his eyes. When she looks down she notices that her dance partner is wearing no shoes, in fact he does not have feet, but cloven hoofs. It is at this point that the young girl realizes that she is actually dancing with the devil. What happens from there varies from town to town in Mexico. Some say upon being discovered the devil vanishes and leaves the poor young girl with a permanent burn in the shape of a handprint. Some say that the girl disappears in a whiff of smoke forever.

On Tuesday, January 17th, 2012, from 5:00PM – 10:00PM Zócalo Cocina Mexicana, the standard for authentic, upscale Mexican fare in Boston, MA, invites guests in to dance with the devil themselves as they present “Bailando con el Diablo” an evening featuring some of the world’s hottest food and drink.

Guests will be offered a 3-course prix fixe menu for $38.00 featuring chiles from Mexico and beyond. With dishes such as their Chile en Nogada – (roasted chile poblano stuffed with beef picadillo on almond puree topped with pomegranate seeds and parsley), and their Tinga de Puerco Taco – (shredded pork with roasted tomatoes and chipotle chiles), guests culinary senses will be heightened and put to the test with the added option of adding “Devil Sauce” to any dish comprised of some of the world’s hottest chiles.

The dance continues with a special hot and cool cocktail menu created by Zócalo Cocina Mexicana and sponsored by Jim Beam® Devil's Cut™. From the “Hell’s Manhattan” (Hot!) with Jim Beam® Devil's Cut™, chipotle infused sweet vermouth and hellfire bitters, to the “Cucumber Margarita” (Cool!) featuring Tres generations reposade tequila, muddled cucumber, fresh lime juice and orange liquor, guests will be able to push their dance to the limit or slow it down if it gets too hot to handle!

The cocktail menu is perfectly paired by course and is offered as an addition to the prix fixe menu (prices below).

All dishes and cocktails will also be offered as à la carte specials and Zócalo Cocina Mexicana’s regular menu will also be available for those afraid to “Dance with the Devil!” Reservations recommended by calling (617) 456-7849.
