Abokado

No site?

Miami(Mary Brickell), FL

As you can tell by the post, we spent alot of time in Brickell this weekend.  This was our second visit to Abokado.  Always a good thing if I go back;)  What a great mix of latin and Japanese food.  Food was so fresh and tasty.  Service was great and friendly.  A bit pricey, but worth it if you can share a few things between some friends.

3.5 cookies for me!

Dolores but you can call me Lolita

Jason and caught this advertisement for breakfast on our way home from Rosa Mexicana.  They had a $4 breakfast special for a bagel with ham, cheese, and eggs which came with a cafe con leche.  So we decided to check it out the next day after we did a 75 minute run.

Seemed a like a typical latin style breakfast place.  The girl behind the counter was new, so it took us almost 30 minutes to get our food and coffe.  Which by the way the bagel wasn’t even toasted.  Although for four bucks it was quite a deal and not too bad. I would go back again for the special, but thats about it.

 I give it 1.5 cookies.

Rosa Mexicano

We have walked by this place many times and finally made a stop in after hearing all the buzz.  We made it for Happy Hour.  They had 2 for 1 drinks and $6 appetizer specials.  We decided to go for the $8 traditional margarita.  It was good but seemed a bit short for a margarita(small glass).  We ordered the well talked about tables side made guacamole.  It was really good! Lost of chunky guac, fresh tomatoes and seasonings. Yummmmmy! I scraped the bowl clean.  We also got the Enchiladitas de Pollo which had no doubt the best Molle sauce I have ever had.  Again I practically licked the plate clean!!  Over all the service we good and the food was great.

Three cookies!!!

Pepe’s Cafe

Ate here for breakfast on our last day in the keys. The hotel recommended this after I couldn’t find my usually place )

Def a divey little breakfast place which I love. The regular menu was very basic, but then the super duper waiter recommended the special……crab, Swiss, and veggie omelet with a side of almond bread. Was superb!!

Service & atmosphere were also great. The only downside is that they wouldn’t make the omelet with egg whites…there goes my cholesterol.

With the special in mind I give this breakfast place 3 cookies.

We stopped here for lunch after a good morning of Snorkeling. A local recommended it. Good pricing for good local seafood. Food was great. We shared some apps. Oysters cooked a few different ways…tomato/mozzarella salad with sun dried tomato vinaigrette. We sat outside and watched the fishing boats feed all the tarpon with their scraps. Alonzo’s also happens to bet he same owners as A&B Lobster house.

I give it 2.5 cookies.

The only thing I have to say about this is that WOW! The best dining experience I have ever had. The service..the food..the company…. Dishes I could have never thought of. Totally worth the money..was a bit pricey….

A&B Lobster House

I started off with a salt & pepper martini (Absolute Peppar with a S&P rimmed glass). I think a nice upgrade would have been Kosher Salt and fresh ground pepper instead of the cheapo S&P shaker stuff. Would have made it more flavorfull.

Was a good thing we are trying to stay away from carbs, cause the bread sucked!

I started off with an oyster soup. Was pretty flavorful excpet the oysters were like fancy chewing gum.

The main course was awesome! Grouper crusted with a crab cake. Quality of fish was great!! Wish I could have finished it. Didn’t even have room for desert(soup was very filling)

2.75 cookies for me
