Delicious Fusion: A Sonoran Experience at Voyage
Marin resident Sam Neely is bringing his culinary expertise back home with his Sonoran burrito concept at Voyage in downtown San Anselmo. Known for its natural wines and low-proof cocktails, this innovative bar now serves delightful burritos that are gaining traction among locals and visitors alike. After a successful career in New York with Super Burrito, Neely has crafted a menu that embodies the freshness and simplicity of Northern Mexico with a modern twist.
The Art of the Sonoran Burrito
The Sonoran burrito, distinct from its Mission-style counterpart, holds a special place in Neely’s heart. Wrapped in soft wheat flour tortillas, these burritos offer a more refined and lighter experience, making them perfect for any time of day. Neely describes the filling as simple yet delicious, featuring options like chile Colorado beef and roasted sweet potatoes with hatch green chiles. “You can eat it and not feel like you have to lie down afterward,” he says, emphasizing how this streamlined version doesn't compromise on flavor.
Supporting Local Businesses and Community Events
What makes this all the more special is how Voyage partners with local talents like Neely, creating a hub that celebrates community. This initiative enhances the local music scene and cultural festivals, giving residents something to rally around. Events at Voyage not only feature great food but also often incorporate music performances and an inviting atmosphere. As Voyage strengthens its community ties, it attracts more locals in search of a cozy place to unwind and enjoy the flavors of Marin.
Sampling the Menu: A Delectable Experience
On the menu, food enthusiasts will find newly curated starters like hand-fried chips paired with cheddar-jack queso and a refreshing cucumber-avocado salad. The burritos themselves come topped with vibrant salsas, creamy crema, and cotija cheese to round out the experience. For those visiting with friends, the bacon-wrapped Sonoran hot dog and accompanying pork and green chile stew offer hearty sharing options.
Bringing a Taste of Home to Marin
After spending years developing his culinary skills in the bustling city of New York, Neely returns to Marin with a treasure trove of experiences. His journey from Nicasio to the Big Apple and back again informs the authenticity of his dishes. Neely reminisces about how he and his friends often craved the simple burritos from their home state, resulting in the launch of Super Burrito in 2017. Even after selling his stake in the popular chain, his passion for spreading joy through food continues to thrive.
