UTRGV Hospitality students visited the newly opened, upscale 'Boqueron Tapas+Wine' bar in downtown Brownsville. The group was greeted by Director of Operations/Sommelier, Vanessa Trevino Boyd and Executive Chef Eugenio Uribe. Ms. Boyd, who has extensive experience in hospitality operations, designed a very unique and innovative wine menu for Boqueron. The wine list is customer friendly, organized by easy to follow descriptions. For example, Red Wine, Lively, Fragrant, Juicy or Red Wine, Earth, Mineral, Spice.
Chef Uribe created an amazing selection of tapas that complement the wine selection. Students learnt what tapas are, and tasted some of the delicious culinary creations, including authentic Spanish Tortilla (potato and egg open face omelet, consumed at room temperature) served with pickled onion and garlic aioli, and other house specialties. The tour included the business aspect of running a food and beverage operations.
At the end of the tour one of our students, who lives in Brownsville, applied for the job to assist the chef with food preparation.
