The Cantinas have your Halloween all planned out for you
Cantina Los Caballitos and Cantina Dos Segundos take on Halloween for two straight days and nights.
The Cantinas have your Halloween all planned out for you
With less than a week to go, it’s probably time to get serious about your Halloween plans. For your consideration: Cantinas Los Caballitos and Dos Segundos can always be trusted to go all out with their Halloween and Mischief Night parties. Together, they’re putting on two straight days of thematic food and drink specials, with DJ sets and some other bonuses each night. Here’s how it breaks down:
Cantina Los Caballitos (1651 E. Passyunk Ave.) takes on Mischief Night on Tue., Oct. 30, from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. On the specials board, you’ll find options like guacamole with chipotle, orange, and pumpkin seeds, camarones a la diabla, and beef heart skewers. In addition to pumpkin ales and Oktoberfest beers, they’ve got a few special cocktails planned: a Witches’ Brew of vodka and grape juice spiked with warming spices; cider made “sinister” with tequila, lemon juice, agave syrup, and a black sugar rim; and a Vampiro, which blends chipotle-infused tequila with hibiscus water and lime juice. (They’re also setting up a photo booth to immortalize your costume choice—for better or worse.)
Cantina Dos Segundos (931 N. 2nd St.) will take over for Halloween proper, with Fright Night on Wed., Oct. 31, from 11 a.m. until last call. They’ve got their own slate of special dishes, including fava bean and charred corn hummus, beef tongue tacos, and skewered sweetbreads. On the cocktail front, Dos Segundos will be serving up a frightful-sounding shot of peach schnapps, Bailey’s, blue curaçao, and grenadine called The Chupacabra, plus a few twists on classic drinks: the Blood Punch is a Long Island iced tea plus Sprite and blood orange puree, and we think you can sort out on your own where the Bloody Scary finds its inspiration.
