With co-owners Monica (Elvis’ wife) and Orlando (his brother), Pasión Latin Fusion serves up dishes found throughout Latin America with Elvis’ own creative flair. Monica runs the front of the house and her gracious, lively style makes you feel right at home. To eat, there are fish tacos crusted in banana, garnished with pickled onions, avocado and sauce. The succulent carnitas tacos and George’s pescado à la Veracruzana are spectacular. The “croque señorita” is Elvis’ version of a croque-madame—a seared pork chop, fried egg and Swiss cheese served over tacu tacu (Peruvian rice and beans, similar to Cuba's moros y cristianos) with a huacatay (Peruvian mint) cream sauce. (Alibi Staff, September 1, 2011) Add a Review Albuquerque - MidtownSalsa music greets you at the door and doesn't miss a beat as you cross the threshold. The Moros y Cristianos (beans and rice) are spectacular and richly flavored. Sides of maduros, or fried ripe plantains, are sweet and crispy. Pork cutlets (masas de puerco) are excellent and large, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and served a wonderful mojo sauce. There’s a large selection of shakes. The mango shake is excellent, and the watermelon agua, made with fresh fruit, is like swimming in the iced heart of a perfectly ripe melon. The desserts are homemade, including pastelito de guayaba, a puff-pastry with guava paste inside, and a firm-bodied flan.
