We came to Wylie and Rum to celebrate my husband being done with a 12-day stretch of working at the hospital pharmacy, and we weren't disappointed! It was very easy to get a table - the place was pretty sparsely populated - so we got sat right away. There is a big screen with a projector in the back, so it seems like it would be a fun place to watch a game (or, if you're me, perhaps the Bachelor?) There is indoor and outdoor seating with fun wall art inside and nice potted plants and outdoor heaters outside.
Our server Ruth was fantastic and checked on us often. I love to get spicy margaritas everywhere I go, so tonight I got the spicy guava margarita, and let me tell you, this isn't just spicy - it is SPICY!! Definitely not for the faint of heart, but this is one of my favorite drinks I've ever had.
My husband got the rum punch, which came in a very cute tiki head glass. I tried a sip of it, and it was deliciously tropical without being overly sweet. For his second drink, he got the Key West lemonade, which he described as "fine... just okay - but easy to drink."
For an appetizer, we got the queso with plantain chips, which went surprisingly well together. The chips were crispy and the queso was hot, and we got plenty of each for the price.
My husband got the big ass burrito, which he'd gotten before, and was just as huge and delicious as he remembered.
I got the island burger with a slice of grilled pineapple, and a side of fries. They didn't add my pineapple at first, but as soon as I pointed this out, our server was quick to grab me some juicy pineapple fresh off the grill. Though delicious, this jerk burger may have been even spicier than my drink, so I had to go slow and drink water. The fries are battered and crazy delicious. I can't wait to come back and try even more wonderful Cuban dishes here!
