Michael,
Come in and try our pizza and see if we live up to Scottie's. I have had his pizza many times and I can say his food is outstanding! I personally stick to his cashew chicken and his BLTA!

The quotes did not work for me.
Who is running Ana's now if they are not? Are they still living out there? Tell them hi for me. Rich and I were their neighbors for a while.

$185 pesos for a large. We had a good turn out last night. We had one couple walk up looking for a hamburger. I told them we only had Pizza right now until we start making sandwiches. He said that they did not like pizza and did not eat red meat. Another group of Americans had just got done have a BBQ Chicken Pizza and told them they had to try it. The couple did and the guy told me he does not like pizza but that it was incredible.

If you never have had a BBQ pizza then you need to come try it. It is really to die for! Our most popular pizza though is the "Espanola". It comes with Chorizo, tomatoes, onions, pizza sauce and home made refried beans. It is also really good. Starting next week we will have a knock off of Cinnabon's cinnamon rolls that will be cooked fresh to order. They are also to die for!!!

My girlfriend and I went to el Gato Gordo last Friday and ordered the Española. Best woodfired pizza I've tasted outside of Italia, with perfect crust and tasty blend of flavors/ingredients. Well worth a stop when in Mulegé.

Hey, Gato Gordo,

Will you list your menu here, hours, and phone number for order ahead and/or take out, please?

Mulegena,
I will tell you what we have currently and what we will have in the future. We are trying to crawl before we walk so we have started with pizza. We have BBQ chicken, Espanola, Mexican, Pepperoni, Hawiian, Sausage and any combination of ingridients that you may want.

We had a wood fire pizza oven installed and now the pizza is excellent. We opened for a few weeks during the summer and we were finding that our commercial convection ovens were not hot enough so the crust was undercooked. Now the dough comes out really crispy!

We currently are in the process of having beer brewing equipment imported from the States. We will be brewing our own beer and serving 6 different beers on tap. Everyone I am sure will ask the legalities of that. There was a law passed back in May that stopped the 2 big boys in the Mexican beer market from signing any exclusivity agreements anymore. This was passed to allow the craft beer companies start being able to sell their beers in stores, restaurant and hotels. It has been great because now there is over 100 microbreweries in Mexico and growing monthly!

As far as food goes, we are looking to open for breakfast in the future and sell gourmet coffee, expressos and good breakfast foods like belgian waffles, pancakes, donuts, cinnabon knockoff cinnamon rolls, etc. Sandwiches for dinner will start in the near future too with fresh baked bread.
