I think I enjoyed both meals more than others have described so far.
At Mariscos, I liked the taco gubernador best, which was actually a shrimp quesadilla. I liked the aguachile a lot, and did not find it overly salty, though that may have been a result of my extensive hot sauce “tasting” just before, haha. The octopus taco we could have easily skipped.
The mystery of the half avocado that disappeared into the aguachile will never be solved.
At Tyang Gelay, the Pork BBQ, Laing, and Pompano Sarciado were my favorites. I thought sauce on the pompano was very flavorful and complemented it well. The pork was delicious, almost as good as the bbq sausage at Renee’s. The Laing, though it seemed a bit creamier in my memory, was just lovely with rice.
I have had good Indian goat preparations recently, so while an unfair comparison, the goat Kalderetang here wasn’t as tender, though it was flavorful. I didn’t see any billing for baby goat, though there was variance in menus so maybe it just wasn’t on mine. I thought the flavors were brighter than the homey beef kalderetang at Renee’s which was reminiscent of a nice pot roast.
