Last week we went on a food tour of Jersey City with Jersey Girls Food Tour. The first stop on this four-stop tour was Orale Mexican Kitchen: At Orale we had three different types of guacamole with the 3 different hot sauces – We tried the Blue Demon (blue cheese and toasted pumpkin seeds), the house guac, and the Serrano Marmalade one. Chilaquiles – Scrambled Eggs, Tortilla Chips, Chipotle Orange, Brown Butter, Roasted Asparagus, Cauliflower, Cilantro Crema, Cotija Cheese. Esquites – charred corn, crema, citrus, queso fresco (presented like the mexican flag!) Carnitas Tacos – Braised Crisp Pork Belly, Marinated Red Onions, Salsa Verde & Cilantro

After that we went to Pasta Dal Cuore where we had  The rice balls called Supplí. And we have spinach, walnut and lemon ravioli.

Our last stop was The Kitchen Step where we were greeted by the entire staff and given a drink that was made from scratch by resident mixologist Raymond Keane. The custom JGFT cocktail, which we were greeted with was made with avocado, infused mezcal, lime, agave, grapefruit liquor, pineapple-sriracha ice cubes. With the drink we had a frisee salad with duck confit on top.

Dessert to-go was from Downtown Yogurt. Artisan donuts from West Milford, NJ. Artisan
version of ring-dings.

The best part of the tours is that you get treated like special guests at each of the restaurants. As a side note, this special treatment lead to a repeat visit to one of the restaurants this week. Jersey Girls Food Tours does a phenomenal job with the level of knowledge, punctual nature of their tours and heartfelt care that they give the food scene of Jersey City. This was a great experience that we highly recommend and are recommending to everyone!
