Read MoreI was happy to get back to one of my favorite spots in the city this past weekend. We were going to see a show at the Academy and this was a perfect location to grab a bite to eat, a few cocktails, and then head to the show.
My wife had never been and it had been a few years since I was there so I was hoping it was as good or not better than I remembered. And it was just as it has been. Service is always top-notch there and there are so many wonderful dining areas inside the restaurant. As it was early in the evening they sat us in the bar area which is nicely decorated.
They go all out on the decor, and there is a lot to see and take in. You always get some chips and salsa to start things off, and they are very tasty. Some pico de gallo and some salsa to mix things up.
We started with the Queso fundido with chorizo and man that cheese is tasty. And ooey and gooey. The flour tortillas were soft and warmed up nicely. This was a great way to start things off.
I tried a couple (4) of their cocktails and loved each one. Two I can name, are the Colina and the margarita diablo. I like a spicy drink and told our waiter this, and he said "Hold on, I have something for you". I wish I knew the name of them but always ask the staff and they can make what you are looking for.
My wife went with the chicken enchiladas, and I chose the enchiladas de playa with shrimp, lobster, and crab. They were so good. The sides were great too, including their refereed beans and rice.
We needed to try the churros for research purposes to see how they compared to the best in the world (in the One and only resort, CSL), and they were great a close second. All in all a pleasurable meal and a great start to a Friday date night.
