There’s a lot to like about this place. The space was a lot fancier than I expected, which is to say the floor was not linoleum and there was a lot of space between tables. We had a sort of VIP setup up in the back, separated from the rest of the narrow dining room by a little railing.
A strong start, these crab claws with butter and garlic, served with both homemade chips and soft bread (the latter was more useful for butter dredging).
A selection of empanadas, fish and shrimp, I think. Nice and crisp, but still a little too “fry” - this became a theme.
Aguachile with fish and shrimp. This was one of my favorite dishes - quite spicy, and the shrimp was just barely cooked, so the texture was reminiscent of botan ebi.
This dramatic whole snapper, continuing the fry theme. And a sleeper hit, rice with “calamary” ink. I could’ve eaten a quart of this.
Guac & chips, tacos and tostadas. By this time, I had palate fatigue. Too much fry, too much sauce.
But this giant michelada saved me.
All in all, some hits, some near-hits, and as always, great to see everyone!
