Food Coma: 13 Gypsies

http://www.13gypsies.com/menu.htm

Highly recommended. Went there for lunch today. We did a sandwich and tapas each, splitting them up 4 ways perfectly. We had:

STREET STYLE PORK KABOBS
OLD WORLD MOORISH SPICED KABOBS, WITH FLATBREAD.

COD LOIN MARISCANA
TENDER PIECES OF COD LOIN COOKED IN A SPICY PARMESAN CREAM SAUCE.

STUFFED SQUID
SQUID TUBES STUFFED WITH BOILED EGG, SMOKED HAM, AND ONIONS IN A WHITE WINE REDUCTION.

ANGRY BULL
PAN SEARED BEEF FILET, SERVED WITH PACHECO SAUCE AND CROWNED WITH CRUSHED RAW GARLIC AND PEPPERCORNS.

DOUBLE COW
ANGUS ROAST BEEF, CARAMELIZED ONIONS, FONTINA CHEESE. PEASANT BREAD - PRESSED.

THE SALVADOR
CHORIZO, GENOA SALAMI, HAM, SMOKED PROVOLONE, BLACK OLIVE RELISH. PEASANT BREAD - PRESSED.

CHORIZO BURGER
ALL BEEF PATTY BLENDED WITH TRADITIONAL CHORIZO SPICES. PEPPERJACK CHEESE. PEASANT BREAD - PRESSED.


Everything was fantastic, but the big hits were the cream sauce from the cod, the angry bull, and the chorizo burgers. No fusion, just simple peasant food. Meat, Veggies, Bread, Cheese. A must if you are in Jax and in the neighborhood.

Oh, they only seat about 15 people, so get reservations for dinner or show up at 11am for lunch.
