Azul Tequila Lounge & Restaurant
By Hilary ParkerWith an ambiance that radiates like the sun on beaches of Mazatlan, the Azul Tequila Lounge & Restaurant in Mill Creek’s Town Center provides a warm, upscale atmosphere and a fresh take on Latin-inspired dishes.
Mexican favorites, such as the Enchilada Verde or Carne Asada, are paired with Caribbean specialties, including St. Thomas Coconut Prawns and Jamaican Jerk Pork Chops. Southwestern flavors also make an appearance in dishes such as the Poblano Artichoke Dip and the Blackened Chicken Pasta. The menu also includes multiple hardy salads, sandwiches (many served with a chipotle mayo) and even burgers.
Dishes get their flavor from ingredients such as habanero peppers, cilantro and citrus. Even the salsa has a flavorful twist thanks to roasted red peppers.
Of course, with “tequila” in its name, those looking to imbibe in a top-shelf liquor will have ample choices at Azul. Try a Bartender’s Margarita or any of their specialty cocktails. Mexican cerveza, along with many popular drafts, also are available.
Brunch is offered from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. on weekends, and includes traditional favorites along with south-of-the-border creations. Try traditional Huevos Rancheros, the Chorizo Benedict or a Breakfast Burrito. On the lighter side, indulge in a fresh fruit bowl served with Devonshire cream.
Mill Creek’s Town Center was designed to serve as a community hub, and Azul’s owners embrace their roll as a gathering place by offering an attractive happy hour menu and keeping the kitchen open until midnight every night. Even mid-week, the restaurant and lounge are likely to be busy, so reservations are recommended.
Azul Tequila Lounge & Restaurant offers a number of tempting menu items and provides an inviting dining atmosphere that are likely to lure diners back for a second helping.
