I love Caesar salad and make a version of it at each of my restaurants, including this one at Bar Amá. This is a Tex-Mex version with chile spice and Cotija cheese on the croutons and in the dressing. There’s more Cotija on top of the salad, too, along with avocado. And of course, it wouldn’t be a Caesar salad without garlic, anchovies, and mayo.
