Lobster tacos for the taquiza menu

Lobster Tacos

Chef Adriana Martin
Lobster Tacos are a favorite dish served in El Rosarito, a coastal beach place located in the Baja California. Taking the flavor profile of the famous lobster tacos from Baja I decided to create my own version using spiny lobster and a green butter garlic sauce.
