Michael Franti & Spearhead Give Us A Backstage Shout-Out!

by Kevin Grant, Chef & Owner

Nancy Griffith from The Bridge at 105.5 was traveling from the radio station after an interview and recommended that they pick up some food before heading back out to the Coliseum. They ordered some food to go and ate some chips and salsa while waiting. Minding my own business and concentrating on my own lunch, I was not immediately aware that Michael Franti was at Zia.

Best Mexican Grilled Cheese Sandwich

“Available lunch, dinner, and into the beery late-night hours, Zia’s crispy and tasty quesadillas hit the spot every time. Carefully filled and grilled, the basic house specialty features a Mexican Monterey Jack cheese blend with caramelized onions with guacamole, jalapeño relish, and pepper-flavored crema on the side (it’s a minor feast for just $7.99). For a buck more, they’ll add extra chicken, pastor (marinated pork), carnitas, portabella mushroom, or beef barbacoa.”
