Dish 28 - #3 Snapper on a Sizzling Comal at Tampico






We hit up Tampico just before closing time one evening with a couple of friends.

We picked out a snapper for the lady and I and got a lobster tail to go along with it. While it was on the grill we all shared some queso flameado with shrimp. It was damn good, the pico was pretty fine too.
It wasn't long until the fish arrived. It looked and smelled incredible! It tasted every bit as good as it looked too. It fell away from the bones and melted in the mouth. The lobster was slightly overdone but it was delicious too.

It was a cool place. I found the mexican / asian collision really cool. We got the fish with fried rice and there's a bottle of soy sauce on every table. It wasn't a cheap meal, about $60 for the main between us. It was totally worth it though. It just feels a little strange spending so much in a place that looks so unfancy. No question it's worth the price for that level of deliciousness though.

I'll just count my half of the main in the stats. At the end of the day I had:
eaten 26 / 100 dishes (28/100 including non-available dishes)
spent $290 (including tips)
travelled 217 miles (124 by car, 13 on foot, 28 by bus, 52 by bike)
