| Aeropuerto. Not ordered by us. It visited our table for a Photo Op, and then was whisked away. |
Sunday morning... Sofa Cafe for Coffee, a Comfy Chair, and a book.
Donald Westlake was a great writer, so I was there for a while, and wound up ordering a Steak with Roquefort Dressing and a Pastel de Papa for Lunch.
I gave Javier a call, and he didn't have Dinner plans, so I met him at his apartment, and we took a taxi to El Bodegon. Javier hadn't been there before; I was holding it in my back pocket to go with him and his wife in August, but the pickings are slimmer on a Sunday night.
We decided to just order away and eat family style. Our first two items were Croquettes and a Causa con Escabeche.
The Croquettes were OK, I guess, but nothing special. The Causa, however, was excellent. You can't really see the Mashed Yellow Potato base, but it was there, and covered with some Fish, pieces of Giant Mutant Corn, and a Sauce heavy with Onions. It was really good.
Javier might be the only person I know who likes Rocoto Rellenos more than I do. So next up was the Stuffed Pepper.
They do a good job here with their Rocotos. Javier had the lion's share of this one.
For our Main Courses, we ordered the Tallarin Saltado con Pollo and Arroz con Chancho. Somehow, they brought an order of Aeropuerto to our table. Once we finished taking pictures of it, we realized that we didn't order that, so they took it away.
The Tallarin dish is Stir-Fried Chicken Chunks with Tomatoes and Onions, mixed in with Pasta. That's always a good choice. And the Rice with Pork is a big favorite of mine, what with the huge chunks of Pork on the plate.
We slowed down somewhat by then, so we took a care package to go for my doorman.
Everything is pretty great at El Bodegon, and the whole thing (with soft drinks) only came to around $45.
That was it food-wise. We headed off to the Marriott Casino, said our good-byes until August, and I beat the house, if only for a little, for the second consecutive night.
