Loved the Mohito's and the "faux-meat" for the vegetarians
Monday, September 03, 2007
My Wife & I went there for the 1st time on Sunday Sept 2nd (Labor day weekend). The Mohito immediately caught my eye. Now Seattle has a lot of places to get a Mohito these days, but I have only found 3 that are really any good: The Cactus (Madison Park), The Mohito Cafe (Near the Seattle P-I), and now El Chupacabra.
Was it a Fluke? Who knows, but I got a couple, and they were both good, and my wife enjoyed her Margarita.
Secondly, as a vegetarian, I am generally reluctant to try "meat substitutes", because I have been disappointed there as well. However, the waitress convinced me that their faux-meat (deep-fried morningstar faux-sausage) was worth the risk, so I got it in their standard Enchiladas. I was very pleased with the result. For meat eaters, it looked like everything came with a "choice of meat", of which the faux was just one.
Lastly, we really enjoyed the soundtrack. While there we heard Jimi H, AC/DC, and X, which was all fun and an interesting mix. My wife loved the Peach (or was it mango?) salsa, and that the bathrooms were clean.
Our only issue was that it really lit a fire under my acid reflux, but that is my own personal demon, and nothing that a Zantac couldn't handle.
Pros: The Mohito, Faux-Meat and Jukebox. Outdoors in Summer.
Cons: Small space
