How can you carry two backpacks!? It's as if you thought of your future plans so poorly that you couldn't figure out how to bring what you just need between leaving your house and returning. Oh, I may have misspoke too soon since you just brought out a Subway sandwich out of one of them.

Is one a food bag? Nope, you just took pretzels out of the other one. Either you have the metabolism of a hummingbird or there's going to be a party with a lot less food than originally planned.

half, making the fruit—a key element in cocktails like margaritas, as well as Mexican and Vietnamese dishes—an unexpectedly pricey ingredient.

Citrus Squeeze

E

VERY DAY, Mezcal’s back-of-the-house staff squeezes fresh lime juice for margaritas. But for the suddenly inflated price of the tropically grown citrus, they may as well be extracting liquid gold, says Adolfo Gomez, owner of the downtown San Jose Mexican bistro.

Six weeks ago, he paid just $25 for a 40-pound case. The price has since shot up to more than $100, thanks to a combination of a lime tree-infecting bacterium, drug cartels and unseasonably wet weather down south.

“For now, the restaurant will be covering the cost of the lime prices increase,” says Gomez, who went from paying $175 a week for limes a month-and-a-half ago to $700 a week now. “But we hope the cost will start going down soon.”

By the latest official assessment, American grocery stores charge an average of 53 cents a lime, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A year ago, the price hovered around 20 cents apiece.

Ag experts blame last year’s heavy rains in the Mexican states of Michoacan, Guerrero and Veracruz for stymying the crop. In nearby Colima, Mexico’s biggest lime-growing state, a bacterium called huanglongbing, or citrus greening, is devastating the trees. Add to that political conflicts arising from Mexican drug cartels and we get an unprecedented surge in the price of limes. Since the U.S. gets 98 percent of its limes from south of the border, those problems trickle down to the local consumer.

“The type of disease that’s affecting the crop in Mexico can actually infect any type of citrus,” Santa Clara County Agricultural Commissioner Joseph Deviney says. “We’ve done a pretty good job of keeping it out of California, where citrus crops are valued at $2 billion. What it does is it prevents the fruit from maturing. For limes, it prevents them from turning green. It keeps them from growing, so they stay small and, eventually, the tree dies.”

Bars and Mexican restaurants like Mezcal are the hardest hit by the price gouge, says Angie Pappas, spokeswoman for the California Restaurant Association. The South Bay, with its proliferation of Mexican and Vietnamese restaurants, should feel a pretty significant effect.

“We’re hearing from our members saying they’ve had to make some pretty big changes, like switching to lemon juice or reeling back the use of limes as a garnish,” Pappas says. “But for places that rely a lot on margarita sales or dishes that specifically require limes, they will have to raise menu prices or eat the cost.

In some cases, they feel like they can’t compromise.”

Like Gomez, who can’t peddle his signature margaritas without that one key ingredient.

“I’m not too worried about garnish for our food and drinks,” he says. “The cost really gets us because we squeeze our lime juice daily.”

WHAT A LAMB The bone-in lamb shank was served with mole, mission figs, winter squash and polenta cakes.

f a restaurant could ever be said to have plumage, the bold-hued decor of Ciano’s Modern Latin Flavors would qualify. The Campbell restaurant makes the most of its large windows, spacious dining room and high ceilings by filling the space with color: tangerine-and-fuchsia patterned upholstery, playful modern orange glass chandeliers, and almost shockingly bright blues, oranges and pinks splashed on the walls—but just a few key accent walls.

It’s much like the presentation of the food at Ciano’s: dishes are plated attractively, with obvious attention paid to highlighting the ingredients’ colors and textures, but it’s not over the top.

The healthy portion of arugula that topped the vegetarian Mexican flatbread ($12) lent the appetizer a dash of bright green and a little bitterness to balance the earthiness of the toppings: sauteed mushrooms and black bean spread. Small dollops of requeson cheese added a rich creaminess while the “flatbread” itself, corn dough rolled out thinly and fried, was light and crispy.

A delicate sprinkling of pickled red onions decorated the crispy carnitas with hominy ($8) that my companion ordered, an appetizer that, like the flatbread, was a substantial serving. The pork was crispy and the hominy added an appealing texture. The dish did arrive a little cold, and it would have been improved by being served a little warmer.

My companion’s bone-in lamb shank ($28) was a rich dish, with smoky Oaxacan mole sauce complementing the fruitiness of black mission figs and cubes of winter squash. The lamb was perfectly cooked, tender and falling off the bone. The squash, seared on one side and sprinkled over the dish, made the presentation particularly eye-catching. Crispy polenta cakes sopped up the sauce.

The vegetarian tamal ($16) highlighted corn in two different ways: the tamal, a thin but dense cake made of masa (like the outside of a tamale), and a sweet corn sauce. Accompanying the tamal were nicely grilled summer squash and red onions with a thick slice of seared Panela cheese. Although all of the components were tasty on their own, the tamal, cheese and vegetables were all mild in flavor and dominated by the sweet corn sauce’s powerful sweet-smoky flavor. The dish would benefit from a lighter hand with the sauce.

Rounding out the meal with a considerable punch was Ciano’s Sangria ($10), in appearance like a sunset in a glass, with layers of purple and orange that must be stirred up. The cocktail, which beefs up Malbec and orange juice with both bourbon and limoncello, was a much stronger rendition of the wine punch typically called sangria. And the booziness worked well with the fruitiness of the juice. —Heather Zimmerman
