Mexico Part II

My boyfriends parents visit Mazatlan, Mexico every year. Fortunately for us it meant that they had already scoped out some not to miss places. Casa Loma is one of the not to miss places for an elegant and fabulous dinner if you ever visit. Casa Loma is off the main drag, an old house that has been converted into a restaurant. The atmosphere is classic and calming. The wait staff at Casa Loma are excellent, so is the food (affordable as well). The four of us had dinner there early into our trip, my boyfriend and I loved it! We celebrated our two year dating anniversary while we were in Mazatlan. His parents treated us to dinner as part of the celebration allowing us to pick any restaurant we wanted; we chose to go back Casa Loma.

Amongst the four of us we tried four different dishes; chipotle chicken (chicken breast served in a chipotle cream sauce), ajillo chicken (chicken breast served in a butter, garlic, herb and medium spiced pepper sauce), seafood enchiladas (covered in a chipotle cream sauce) and the fish special (prepared in a white wine and caper sauce). All were excellently prepared and flavored perfectly, evident in the fact that there was never

leftovers. The table next to us ordered a spanish coffee which was quite an impressive spectacle. It was the most elaborate presentation I have ever witnessed. It was the type of dining experience that encouraged you to take your time savoring every bite and soaking up the atmosphere. Casa Loma is a must and we will definitely be visiting again, maybe even twice.
