Jack Michaels‘ answer to his favourite food is simple: Mexican food at La Patrona in Sherwood Park. It’s easy to see why it’s the radio-turned-television announcer’s pick. Standouts from the menu include its Tortilla Soup and light breakfast and lunch option Molletes (beans, cheese and salsa on toast).
It also has Barbacoa (meat cooked low and slow) options for both torta and tacos, combining top beef sirloin and brisket marinated in Mexican dry chiles and beer with onions, cilantro and lime. The tequila menu is likewise impressive, split into Silver-Blanco, Reposado, Añejo and Extra Añejo, categories.
