Bocados
Start your Mexican taste tour with nachos, quesadillas, or their special avocado crab nest – half an avocado stuffed with sauteed lump crab meat and topped with melted white cheese and served with pico de gallo and creamy cilantro ranch. Other offerings include homemade guacamole, and a variety of shareable seafood platters.
Ensalada Y Sopa
Enjoy a light, refreshing Caesar salad topped with house-made chili flour tortilla croutons, then add grilled shrimp or blackened tuna (served rare) for a little taste of the sea. If you need to warm up, the tortilla soup does the trick with chicken, cheese, tortilla strips, and fresh avocado.
Platos Tejanos
For bigger appetites, enjoy a platter or cheese, chicken, or beef enchiladas, crispy or soft tacos, or the “el grande burrito” – a Frisbee-sized flour tortilla stuffed with beef or chicken, rice, refried beans, lettuce, and tomato and served with chili con queso.
Especiales de Mariscos
Try a special seafood enchilada or taco. Stuff it with lump crab meat, crawfish, or shrimp. There are other daily fresh fish specials caught right on the shores of Port Aransas.
Espciales de la Casa
If you can’t decide – let the house decide for you! The enchilada dinner features two cheese enchiladas, a crispy taco, and guacamole, while the “tres amigos” gives you one each of a cheese, beef, and chicken enchilada. Try “Island Pepper” – a roasted poblano pepper stuffed with white cheese, wrapped in a fajita steak, and topped with ranchero sauce and chili con queso. Their signature dish, spinach enchiladas, boasts three corn tortillas stuffed with fresh spinach and then sauteed with garlic and roasted almonds with roasted poblano sauce.
Kids’ Menu
Smaller bellies crave delicious Mexican food too! Kids ten and under have a choice of one crispy beef taco, cheese enchilada, cheese quesadilla, fajita, or grilled shrimp.
