Having trouble getting started after the long and festive holiday weekend? I suggest you visit Tampico Mexican Restaurant on Airline and order the famous Mexican seafood cocktail and hangover cure called a “Vuelve a la Vida.” The name means “return to life.” The cocktail is also called “Levanta Muertos” or “back from the dead.”
The corpse-reviving concoction contains raw oysters, octopus, shrimp and crab in a sauce made of salsa, ketchup, onions, lime juice and cilantro, topped with a some avocado and served with saltines. And if that’s not enough to do the trick, get a couple of Coronas on the side. — Robb Walsh
