Lazaranda Brings Premium Seafood to Addison at a Casual Price
ADDISON, Texas (January 11, 2012) – After a quiet opening at the end of last year, Lazaranda Mexican Seafood Grill is introducing affordable coastal Mexican cuisine to Addison. Having noticed an absence of family-friendly seafood spots, Owners Mario Letayf and Antonio Marquez jumped at the chance to bring their concept to Addison. Although this is his first stateside venture, Letayf and Marquez own five successful restaurants in their native Monterrey, Mexico. Named for the ‘zaranda’ often used in Mexico to cook seafood over a fire, the restaurant offers premium, grilled seafood at a casual price.
The menu at Lazaranda is a reflection of Letayf’s and Marquez’s palate, featuring a collection of fresh, seasonal seafood. Diners may choose from four different methods of grilling their fresh fish selection: Zarandeado, a house special mix of garlic, mustard, chipotle and soy sauce; Rancho, crushed red pepper, mayonnaise, olive oil and a touch of soy sauce; Grilled with olive oil, a touch of mayo, salt and pepper; or Talla, marinated in achiote and served with grilled pineapple.
The kitchen offers seven other preparations that don’t involve the grill, such as: Veracruz with tomato sauce, olives, capers, peppers and white wine; Ajillo with olive oil and garlic sauce; Fiorentina with butter sautéed spinach in a white wine cream; and even breaded and fried options. With so many dishes to choose from, the knowledgeable wait staff is on hand to help diners put together a meal that tickles their taste buds.
Diners looking for a lighter preparation of Lazaranda’s fresh catch can feast their eyes on the menu’s selection of Mazatlan Shrimp Aguachile, shrimp marinated with lime, spices and serrano aguachile, or choose from more than five types of fresh ceviche, including Aztec Fish Ceviche, which consists of grilled cactus leaves, marinated tilapia, avocado, onions, tomato, cilantro, spices and fried pasilla pepper. Lazaranda is committed to serving only the freshest and finest seafood, and its selection varies based on market availability.
If seafood isn’t your choice, Lazaranda offers an array of healthy salads from mixed greens with grilled vegetables, panela cheese and sautéed peanuts with an option of adding grilled chicken, to their Marinated Cactus and Avocado Salad with red onions, tomatoes, panela cheese and a touch of olive oil. Signature entrées include marinated and grilled rib eye served with potato puree and veggies and beef tenderloin Cañita, center cut beef tenderloin grilled to order and topped with cactus leaves and caramelized onions over a dried chile sauce. Even if you are looking for more traditional Mexican items like tacos, enchiladas or quesadillas, the “a la carte” selections are endless with blue crab enchiladas, lobster tacos, mole enchiladas and street tacos under $3 a piece.
The full bar boasts more than 30 tequila options, which pair with fresh squeezed juices to fuel the house margaritas. Happy hour specials are also available, featuring $3 house margaritas and $4 glasses of house wine. Lazaranda has the perfect patio setting for customers to enjoy full service seating, a must when the warmer weather comes back around.
