Here's Rene Valenzuela's menu for his second appearance at Chefs On The Loose. Simply Delicious. This guy is a great guy with such energy and passion it only makes the food taste better. This is the real deal.Pure.Simple.

Chips and Salsa

Just made corn chips and salsa made with grilled tomatoes, jalapenos, onions and roasted garlic.

Mango Margaritas

Frozen Margaritas made with mango puree, lime juice, Tequila and Cointreau Orange liquor

Seafood Guacamole

Guacamole made chunky with pico de gallo (tomatoes, onion, cilantro) topped with seafood salpicon with crab meat and shrimp.

Think of it as crab cakes with guacamole minus the butter.

Tamalitos with two salsas. Side of zucchini, roasted poblanos peppers, corn and cream.

Ancho Chile stuffed with beef tenderloin, shiitakes and cremini
Chile Relleno Ancho con puntitas de res y hongos

Café con LecheMexico City style with cinnamon cookies

Coffe made with condensed milk
Infused with cinnamon and piloncillo
Spiked with premium Tequila café liquour
Topped with whipped cream
And dusted with chile ancho powder
Chocolate liqueur marinated cherry on top.

If you have not eaten at Bamboozle Cafe (516 N Tampa Street) in Downtown, well get there. Place is totally legit.

Hello food friends. I have the best new spot in town for food, art, booze, live music. Ellas Americana Folk Art Cafe in Seminole Heights (5119 N Nebraska Ave). Friend Ernie Locke ( lead singer and harp player for local band Nervous Turkeys) and Wife Melissa have compiled all of their amazing folk art and love of live music and great food in one amazing new space. you have to see it in person to really appreciate it. Official opening next Thursday, I got the sneak peek last night, and the place is beyond rad, whatever that may be. Hope to see everyone from Tampa Bay Eats checking it out next week.

In Chefs On the Loose news, Bobby Triplett and Rene Valenzuela (Taco Bus, Monterey Mexican) are both coming back to Chefs on The Loose in October, go to the website and look for more info to come. These boys know how to throwdown in the kitchen.

Just spoke with Rene Valenzuela, of the famed TacoBus, about his upcoming event at Chefs On the Loose, his menu is "off the Dick Cheney".

An amazing person, a great spirit and passion for what he does. Authentic , Orthodox, and Traditional Mexican Cuisine, the way its been for thousands of years. You really are missing out if you cant make it to his event on June 18th at Chefs On The Loose. See you in the Kitchen!
