After reading Gail Guengerich’s review of this Asian fusion bakery, I had to run out and try it immediately. I’m happy to report that it’s every bit as good as she says it is. Even if they were out of whoopie pies.

This week’s Locovore restaurant review: Pasión Latin Fusion takes a green-chile-infused tour of Latin America and New Mexico. Also on the menu: yuca fries, goat’s milk cheesecake, Nicaraguan-style churrasco steak with chimichurri, banana-crusted fish tacos, and a steak-smothered breakfast burrito with green chile, grilled onions and blackened tomatoes.

Pasión Latin Fusion

A green-chile-infused tour of Latin America

By Ari LeVaux

Being a generalist might be a good thing if you’re, say, a Renaissance man or a contestant on “Jeopardy!” With food, though, I prefer my chefs to focus on one area of expertise. But that doesn’t apply to Pasión Latin Fusion.
