This restaurant is located adjacent to ELCORTEZ which is at the end of the main tourist drag:











our lunch or dinner-without exception, is the filet mignon smothered in mushroom sauce. Notice the regular chef's signature red squiggle. When it is the alternate chef,his signature is a large cookie like figure inserted in the food:




The filet mignon melts in your mouth.
There is no room for dessert when you are done.
The folks who sell roses (notice next to the plate) are great !





In the morning, Les had huevos motulenios (notice the fried plantain)





and I had huevos florentine. beyond delicious.






this is what the plates look like when we are done !

OK, I can understand leaving part of a tortilla, plantain and apple slices, but never, never leave the parsely. :lol:

hahaha green is good!

filet mignon dinner for one is 190 pesos.

I think the breakfasts ranged around 70 - 80 pesos.

Blanca just tell the man. You're not a lady unless you leave SOMETHING on your plate. Hope you now get a good night's sleep for New Year's, though the machines can be somewhat noisy as well. Ah well, earplugs might be in order!!!

I heard the pics are pretty big and I apologize ... photobucket and I were at odds that day.

honeymoon there ? what a neat idea. The hotel has a nice feel to it that I like.
