Local Eats – Cultivar

/in /by

Looking for a new local eatery? This summer I tried Cultivar in Automobile Alley. Cultivar is a “farm-to-fire” Mexican dining experience that I absolutely enjoyed. The menu included fresh tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, salads and more. The food was fresh, with priority given to local ingredients, and included fun
seasonal items such as pickled watermelon, brussel sprouts slaw, and grilled peaches as various taco toppings. There was also variety of grass-fed beef, fish, vegetarian, and vegan fillings, and a long line of quality vegetables to top your meal off with.

The group I went with ordered a variety of tacos, cultivar 5
which range from $3.50-5.75. The burritos/burrito bowls are about $8 and salads range from $5-8. There are also family-style taco platters for everyone to share and make their own. The food was great, the atmosphere is congenial, and their “fast casual” serving style is easy going. Sit inside or on the shaded patio and enjoy a colorful taco with fresh, clean, and local fillings! -HM
