Dinner out in the 'hood!




First visit to a new restaurant in our Colonia area - La Papa y Cafe.  Unique in that they make wonderful potatoe dishes - seldom seen here. We had the arrachara (marinated steak) with herb mashed potatoes covered in cheese and baked, and a salad for $11. The appetizer was a warm flavourful bowl of black beans and chips. We had chaya water, a mixture of chaya, lime and fresh water - yummy!






The decor is nice - soft peach and burgundy walls with art on the walls, GOLD plastic table clothes, and an entire staff of women - grandma, mama, daughter, aunt, cousin and sister!!!

The back courtyard area was lovely - maybe for tables as they get busier and stay open later....?

A huge banana tree was the focal point of the back courtyard!  Great food, nice people and certainly we will be back - it is only 3 blocks from home!
