This certificate is good for a two course dinner for two. The dinner includes two Rancho Margaritas, two appetizers, and two main courses.

The next revolution in Mexican food may have just begun in El Segundo, where a chef decided to look in the opposite direction. Anne Conness has based the food at Sausal on the mostly forgotten cuisine of Spanish California from the mid-1800s, as documented in a rare cookbook written by a Hispanic woman in 1898. Those recipes are a blend of Spanish, Mexican, Basque, and native ideas – meat is cooked with dried fruit and pickled chilies, stews and sauces thickened with powdered almonds and enlivened with vinegar. It’s a foreign cuisine to modern Californians, and it came from the place we all live.
