| Tropical flair colors this festive café that offers good Baja-inspired food as well as kayak rentals. The dining rooms are painted in vibrant south-of-the-border hues, and the spicy food and top shelf margaritas add another layer of warmth. At lunch, UW students and professors congregate for cafeteria-style service and tuck into tacos de la casa, three corn tortillas filled with anything from spicy catfish doused in a creamy avocado sauce to yams sautéed with mild chilies and onions, and an assortment of tortas (sandwiches). The full dinner service offers a more extensive menu ranging from botanas (appetizers) and nightly specials such as Monday’s pollo en mole (chicken smothered in a sweet chocolate sauce) and carne asada (grilled flank steak rubbed with garlic and oil) on Thursdays. Save room for a delectable slice of Key lime pie. |
