Drink, drink and eat at Los Perros. I mean, they're open till 1 AM on weekdays and 3 AM on weekends for a reason, right?
I stopped by at that kind of witching hour, eager for a warm tasty bite, after a successful fundraiser at a brewery during which I as the hostess got to chug beer. (Successful, I tell you.) The place is casual, almost like you're supposed to order at the counter and serve yourself, but we were seated and given table service, all while the place was mostly filled.
I had a Maicito de Queso (corn bowl) for the first time, and I don't know what maicitos are supposed to be like, but this one rocked my tipsy world! Mountains of cheese (see photo 2), endless creamy, sweet corn and crunchy crumbled potato chips drizzled with bewitching red mayo, all for less than a sad fast food burger meal! I love that it was unashamedly served in a takeout container, so ideally, I could ask for a lid to it if I wanted to take it with me.
Los Perros surprised me with this non meat dish, tucked in between all the loaded hot dogs, salchipapas and chicharrones that dominate their menu. Further surprising was the patience the staff had dealing with a packed house of, you know, people who are out after other people's bedtimes. Service was a little slow for our large group, but everyone accurately got what they ordered and were able to pay individually. Meet you there after a few drinks sometime?
