- Cuisines: Seafood, Mexican
NileGuide Expert tip:
Know before you go: Café Alvarez can get extremely busy during peak times but is well worth the wait (and the delicious happy hour-margaritas make the wait pretty darn tolerable).
Description:
- Put on the sombrero and head into Casa Alvarez for a taste of Old World Mexico. Owners Ernesto Alverez and Betty Cormane create traditional favorites in an upscale (but bona fide) south-of-the-border atmosphere. If you feel like a change from the usual Mexican fare, order the house specialty, Mojara Frita. The dish is a whole fried freshwater tilapia with a side of beans. Numerous shrimp selections, vegetarian dishes and old spins on standard Mexican items complete the menu. The bar offers over 30 different types of tequila.

HUGE menu with choices for everyone. They even have an entire gluten free menu and a section on the regular menu for vegetarians. But for the carnivores, I love their carnitas....
