Spring Brings New Life and New Ideas to Animalón, the Valle’s Most Coveted Tasting Menu
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VALLE DE GUADALUPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO (March 25, 2019) - Winter has given way to spring, bringing new inspiration to Chef Javier Plascencia and Chef Oscar Torres.
What started as a pop-up tasting menu experiment under an old oak tree at the rear of Chef Javier’s popular Finca Altozano in Valle de Guadalupe, has since become a seasonal staple for the area winning awards for the ingenuity of the menu and experience. Season 3 officially opens April 18th, 2019, to the general public. Reservations can be made directly from the Animalón website.
The Same But Different
Animalón will continue to bring an ever-changing, monthly tasting menu to guests and an a la carte option using the local bounty of the area. A new vision for Animalón will welcome the spring with what Chef Javier is sure to become a new guest favorite, The Lounge. A re-imagined al fresco space with creatively curated, hand-crafted cocktails, will entreat visitors to linger under the stars for an ethereal experience of sights, sounds and flavors.
“I’m very excited to share another season and a newly-designed Animalón. The restaurant will offer a refreshed outdoor lounge which will become a destination of its own with fire pits, a delicious cocktail menu and as always, great music. Chef Oscar has come back with new ideas for our tasting menu that will make every visit a new experience to remember. ”
