Arlyn's - West Bay in La Placita

 Disappointing!  Today we went with some friends to La Placita which is a little tourist area behind Bananarama with about 5 restaurants, icecream and coffee shop.  We have tried about 3 of the places here (see other posts) and this was #4.  Our friends speak Spanish, which is a good thing because when you go to pay, they charge one rate for tourists and a lower price for locals.  I ordered the grilled fish plate and Greg had the fried chicken plate.  Both looked pretty much the same except for the meat.  I forgot to take a picture of the chicken.  We went up to the window to order.  The choice for drinks was something that looked like Hawaiian punch, so I went down the block to the little store in the plaza and bought two sodas.  Came back and turns out there was no rush.  It took them 45 minutes before our food came out and that was after our friend called the owner of the restaurant on the phone to complain.  Mean while there were several other people that got their food in front of

 We have driven past this place a few times and thought we would try it for lunch.  What a great idea that was.  Delicious food.  I'm still stuffed 5 hours later.  I ordered the Tacos Birrio - beef tacos.  They were $5 and I got a plate with 4 tacos, pico de gallo and another sauce to dip them in.  Greg ordered the shrimp plate.  He had a choice of deep fried or grilled and picked he deep fried.  It came with fried potatoes (french fries) and a side salad - $10.   While we were eating another customer ordered the ceviche.  It came to the table flaming so I had to take a picture.   They are only  open 4 days a week and according to the menu we are definitely coming back on Tuesday for the Chicken with pesto pasta.

 This is a little fancier restaurant then we normally go to, but if you want  a good meal with  a view, try this place.  I should have taken more pictures of the grounds, they were beautiful and had a cute little sitting area with a dip pool (size of a hot tub but cooler water.)  We owed a couple a lunch and they wanted to try this place.  So four of the least expensive items on the menu and 4 beverages came to $120.00 plus tip!  The menu didn't have your ordinary items on it.  The hamburger had bleu cheese,  They had a lobster sandwich, steak prices started at $30 on up.  I ordered the grilled snapper and it came with a choice of 2 sides.  I chose the salad and rice and beans.  The salad dressing was a little spicier than I eat, but managed to eat it.  The rice and beans were delicious.  The fish was really good but a little salty so I asked for some tarter sauce, which they didn't have but they had a pomegranate sauce that was absolutely delicious!.  Greg ordered the snapper
