Fillet Mignon and Jarritos? Yes!

Like most people I love a good steak. So this past weekend I decided to cook some Fillet Mignon steak. The day was perfect nice and sunny and breezy. Which is odd for summer weather in Arizona. So I headed to my backyard and fired up old Betsy (my grill). Yes, I named my grill. Don't judge me!

Anyway, while Betsy was getting warmed up I was seasoning the steaks. A little salt and pepper was enough to bring out the flavor of these delicious cuts. Betsy at appropriate temperature, check. Grill brush, check. Tongs, check. 

Everything was ready to go. As I set the steaks on the grill the sizzle it created was music to my ears.Two minutes in the smell coming from the grill was making my mouth water! I couldn't wait to take the first bite. Are you hungry yet?! 

Finally the grill marks were set in and the steaks were ready! I decided to also bake some potatoes for the side dish. Time to sit down and enjoy my meal. But wait?! I'm missing something, the red wine. I went to grab a bottle of my favorite red wine and panic set in! Here I am all this time preparing this perfect meal and I realize I am out of wine! Noooo! What do I do now? Do I run out and get a bottle? That'll take too long and my steak would be cold by the time I get back. 

Now I am running around like a chicken with it's head cut off looking under the sink, in the dishwasher, under my couch anywhere hoping to find a bottle but with no success. Exhausted I open my fridge to get something cold to quench my thirst. As I opened the fridge, the light bulb inside illuminated a tall bottle of the most beautiful red liquid I have ever seen! The answer had been there all along and I was a fool for ignoring it.

What could go better with Fillet Mignon than a delicious Strawberry Jarritos! It was like heaven sent. Finally  I could sit down and enjoy my meal. As I open the bottle the aroma of the Strawberry emanating from the bottle was better than any aged wine I have ever had. The taste of it was sweeter than the riches grapes any wine could have been made from. I can feel every bubble tickling my tongue. After every drink I wanted more and more! I couldn't stop. It had my taste buds lusting after it. I could nothing else but to give in. With every drink my taste buds were swimming in ecstasy. 

Like all good things it had to come to an end. As I sat there in heaven from all of the flavors my mouth had just experience all I could think of was how lucky I was to have experience such a plethora of flavors! I could only hope soon. Until then I will wait for your return Strawberry Jarritos. I will dream of you daily until then. I miss you. 

If that wasn't enough for you to get up and get a case of Jarritos then I don't know what will! It is awesome!!

Thank You Jarritos!

These last few weeks have been awesome! I have been eating like a king! My wife has been cooking up some delicious dishes. This time around she made Tostadas. Tostadas are composed of a hardshell tortilla topped with refried beans, seasoned ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, Avocado and sour cream. Now doesn't that sound delicious?!

Of course I had to have a Jarritos with this and this time I chose their "Mexican Cola" flavor. Now I have to tell you that at first I was very skeptical about how it was going to taste. I have always been a fan of cola specifically Coca-Cola. I remember drinking it ever since I was a toddler. I have tasted other brands claiming to be "Cola" and frankly just end up disappointing me. They turn out to be a water down version of the real thing.

Well like I've said before, I have yet to be disappointed by Jarritos! Their "Mexican Cola" flavor is awesome! It's in a class of it's own. It has the cola flavor that you are looking for but it also has it's own rich flavor that I can't quite put my finger on it. It will not burn your throat like Coca-Cola will but you will still know that your drinking a cola flavored drink. I give it a five out of five stars! Go and buy a case! Better yet buy a few cases 2012 is coming and if there was a drink that I would need to have when I am in my underground bunker waiting out the Apocalypse it is definitely Jarrito's Mexican Cola!

What A Scorcher!

Carne Asada is a traditional food that we as Latinos love to eat. So when my wife suggested we have some Carne Asada tacos for lunch on Saturday, there was no way I was going to say, "No". Again I might be bias but my wife makes the best Carne Asada Tacos ever!

The homemade Salsa that she makes to go with the tacos is fantastic also. It consists of diced Tomatoes, Avocados, Jalapenos and squeezed lemons. I tell you it's to die for! It was a scorching 95 degrees here in Phoenix when we started cooking. Of course this is considered "cool weather" in a state where the temperature can reach 120 degrees!

While I was in my backyard cooking on the B.B.Q. I remembered being at my grandmother's house and picking Mandarins from her tree. They were so juicy and sweet!

As you can imagine I worked up a major thirst being in the AZ heat. This gave me the perfect opportunity to try yet another delicious Jarritos! Naturally I chose Mandarin! What can I say, Jarritos has yet to disappoint me. The taste of the Mandarin flavored Jarritos was excellent! It really quenched my thirst and cooled me down! If it wasn't for the glass bottle I could've sworn I was eating one of my grandma's Mandarins.

Of course the tacos were awesome also! So if you are looking to quench your thirst and cool down this summer you have to try Jarritos Mandarin! Don't forget if you just can't get enough of Jarritos like me the follow the on Twitter at @jarritosnation and on Facebook at  I still have a few more flavors to go so stay tuned!

Jarritos, The Tradition Continues

Now I might be bias when I say this but my wife makes the best Chicken Enchiladas I have ever tasted! So when she made them for dinner last night I was in heaven! I love the way she serves them too. The home made Guacamole and the sour cream go perfectly together! Of course I had to have something to drink with this awesome meal so why not an awesome drink like Jarittos?!

With so many flavors to choose from it was hard to decide which one to drink. When I was a kid I would eat Guavas all the time. I remember the sweet flavor of Guava was like candy to me. So when I saw the Guava flavored Jarritos, the choice was clear. As I was in heaven eating my wife's delicious Chicken Enchiladas, the taste of the Guava flavored Jarritos took me back to my childhood!

Jarritos has done an awesome job at staying true to the natural flavor of the Guava. I loved every sip of it. I have shared with you two of the eleven flavors Jarritos has to offer. However I have to confess. I have been keeping something from you. I am sorry but Jarritos is so good I wanted it all for myself!

So here it is. Now you can also share the awesomeness of Jarritos with your friends on Facebook by sending them a virtual bottle of Jarritos! Just go to http://www.facebook.com/Jarritos and click on the "Send A Jarritos" link on the left side of the page. Pretty cool right?! Best part about this is that when you send a virtual  Jarritos bottle you are also helping them raise five thousand dollars towards Japan's relief fund. Hurry only three day left! So what are you waiting for?!

Jarritos: A Great American Tradition

With baseball season about to start I thought It would be fitting to cook some hot dogs. Not your typical one though these were bacon wrapped! Giving the all American hot dog a Latin twist. Of course you have to have a drink with that, where most people would go for a cold beer I prefer to go for an ice cold Jarritos bottle! Nothing quenches my thirst quite like a Jarritos. Today I decided to have a Tamarind flavored one. Let me tell you it hit the spot right on! I am really impressed in the way Jarritos has been able to maintain the natural flavor of the Tamarind.  I have TEN more flavors to go through so I can't wait to share them with you. So stay tuned for more pics and posts.
