fresh shrimp marinated in lime and jalapeno and served in a Baja mix of
cucumber, red onions, tomatoes and cilantro. TheGuacamole Mango/Habanero is Hussong’s signature guacamole enhanced with
mango, sundried tomatoes and Habanero peppers.

potatoes and sautéed vegetable spaghetti. The Huarache, a tenderized flap steak atop a crispy
tortilla and borracho beans

dessert, guests can indulge in Fried Ice Cream, dulce de leche ice cream breaded with panko and served with fruit pico de gallo and a tomatillo salsa or Dessert Nachos made
of fried flour tortillas coated with a sugar/cinnamon mix, drizzled with
condensed milk and chocolate sauce, topped with a fruit pico de gallo and finished with a touch of whipping
cream, strawberry and mint leaf.
The margarita was invented at Hussong’s in Ensenada and the Las Vegas location would not be complete
without the Original Margarita, made of Azul Reposado 100% Blue Agave Tequila, Triple Sec,
freshly Squeezed lime juice and Agave Nectar, which has never been known to
disappoint. Another house favorite is the El Pepino Margarita, a combination
of Milagro Silver 100% Blue
Agave Tequila, Triple Sec, fresh sweet and sour and Gran Marnier.
Although
a strip dining destination, Hussong’s also
caters to Las Vegas locals with 20% off from 11pm to 4pmdaily.
