Heading out to Eat Again

Sometimes it seems that is all we do here is eat and while eating we are thinking about where we are going to eat next. Way too much good food!

Before Greg and Scott packed their bags and headed to the States, we had to squeeze in one last dinner at one of the favorite restaurants in Vallarta. The Red Cabbage (Repollo Rojo) http://www.redcabbagepv.com/index.html is located about 5 blocks from the house (unless you take the goat trail over the hill and down). The Red Cabbage is an unassuming place and easily missed if there wasn't such a crowd standing outside the entrance.

Each item on the menu is amazing, but their Chiles en Nogada is like nothing I have ever had before. A brief history of the dish along with pictures can be seen at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiles_en_nogada. This, along with anything made with their Mole sauce, makes for one great dinner.

After, we headed out to the local piano bar called Garbo for a nightcap. The piano player was loud, the singer even louder and the gin and tonic was undrinkable. The loud piano player and singer I can tolerate, but a bad gin is where I draw the line. We were on our way home shortly.
