Food is a good way to bring soul and body back in sync. After lazing about in the beach for a few hours and retiring to our room for margaritas and a nap, we eventually found the energy to go out hunting for food. Lori set a task for me: pick where we go for dinner. I agreed to do so, initially on the condition that she would agree to go wherever I picked. That proved to be a little bit too much for her to agree to, so we came to a compromise: I would create a short list (3) and she would make the final selection. From this convoluted process, we arrived at El Mero Negrillo.

The service was very good and the layout nice. There was a bit of a mixup with our order but once all was said and done it worked out well.

Lori: First the happy hour margaritas. Yes, they are blue-green, because instead of triple sec, they use Curacao. Tasted fine./end Lori

Lori: Then the usual complimentary chips and salsa. Four different house salsas: peanut, bean, jalepeno and habenero. All tasty /end Lori

Lori: Dinner special included a small shrimp salad (very tasty), shrimp broth (I thought it was disgusting, but Bram didn't mind it), fish fillet (pan fried grouper), glass of wine, coffee and dessert./end Lori

Lori: shrimp tacos with chipolte sauce. The sauce was perfect, with just a bit of heat and not too smokey. Came with handmade corn tortillas, which were a bit thick and chewy for my taste./end Lori

Lori: The dessert was a cute little valentine cupcake. The service was very attentive and friendly. All in all a decent meal, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to go back.

I'm sure Lori will have more comments to add on the meal!

Lori: Tell me, do you prefer my comments within the original post like this? Or previously as separate comments after Bram's post?/end Lori
