Page 6 THE REVERE ADVOCATE–Friday, November 8 , 2019 Valsos Table & Bar mixes international cuisine By Tara Vocino W here a Moroccan organic cafe once stood, Valsos Table & Bar, a restaurant specializing in international cuisine, opened its doors on Oct. 8 and hosted its official ribbon-cutting ceremony last Thursday afternoon at 139 Shirley Ave. According to co-owner Alex Herrera, the Latin American/ Italian fusion mixes food as well as beverages. Using caramel, lemongrass and orange peel in their cocktails, Rustic Lover or mezcal tequila with grilled pineapple is a customer favorite. They are proud to serve craft beer made locally – Night Shift Brewing in Everett and Bent Water Brewing in Lynn. Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com.
