I was wandering around the Downtown Phoenix Farmer’s Market and smelled something good! I saw a sign for Mi Catering and decided to see what they were cooking. They were offering samples of their vegan burrito. Mexican and vegan? Doesn’t happen too often. I have to say it was the best that I have had. I dipped into their salsa offerings and was hooked. It is hard to find fresh tasting and healthy Mexican food so I was excited. I spoke with the Chef-owners Maria and Martin Osete and they told me that they had a restaurant in Nogales, Mexico before moving their catering business to North Scottsdale. Along with their catering business they sell their salsa, vinaigrette and Pomodoro sauce at farmer’s market. I know, Pomodoro sauce doesn’t fit the Mexican theme but their food has some European flair thrown in. They hope to have an on-line business soon to reach out to the people who like to shop from home. I tried the Roasted Tomato & Serrano Pepper Salsa and the Roasted Tomato & Tomatillo-Habanero Salsa. They are very tasty and have a bit of a bite! The Pomodoro sauce is full of chunky tomatoes and herbs and was just thick enough to coat my pasta. I haven’t tried them as a catering company (probably won’t since I like to cook) but am looking forward to getting my hands and taste buds on more of their salsa. I do hope that I am at an event someday soon and see those vegan burritos being offered… Hire them as your next caterer and then invite me!
