You might have thought we were not coming back, or maybe we had stopped going out to eat… But no… we were moving, and our internet connection (AT&T) has been down. But that has not stopped us from visiting different restaurants, so in the next couple of days you will read about our latest culinary adventures.
Getting together with friends is something we enjoy and sadly we don’t do it as often as we would like. Our friends suggested, El Capataz, and we agreed. It recently opened and we had already heard so many good comments about it, including that Chef Bobby G. is the master mind behind the culinary offerings.
We arrived at the restaurant and our friends were already seated at the patio, we decided to stay there as the night was not too hot and a nice breeze was making it even more pleasant.
They have both dinner and botanas (appetizers) on the menu, mostly Mexican with a twist, they all have "something different". In our case we went for the botana option and ordered the Fries “bien cargadas” which HE said reminded him of the hot dogs you would eat back in the day in Nuevo Laredo when coming out of the clubs. The fries come with chicken, cheese, tomato… They were enough for the two of us (our friends were not hungry). They also have a beer sampler and a nice array of wine and cocktails.
The service was good, and even though our waiter was new (even to the city) he was doing a great job and was very friendly.
Our recommendation is that you get there early (especially if you want to have dinner, at a certain time they only serve ‘botanas’) as it gets full, and that you seat inside, not because of the heat, but because by midnight the breeze brought a nasty smell. We can’t tell where it came from but it was definitely not pleasant.
Overall the place is really nice, great atmosphere, service is good and I’m interested in trying more things on the menu.
