El Trapiche Restaurant

My husband and I went to El Pelicano this past Saturday and we had one of the most fun nights ever, and we have been together for 16 years. Let's first start off with the food. We had tacos and ceviche, and several different mixed drinks. The ceviche was so fresh, and the tacos had a sauce in them that made it the best tacos I have ever eaten. They also give quite generous portions which is great! Then the live music started. The first gentleman singer was named Vicente. He had an amazing voice and really made everyone in the audience feel like they were a part of the show. We really actually were a part of the show as I was able to get up on stage with him and sing in Spanish. We had sombreros on, and there was dancing. He walked around the whole restaurant to make sure everyone was a part of the act. Then Paquita came on after him. Let me tell you, Paquita is where it is at! She has an amazing voice and her star presence is amazing. She got my husband up on stage, and even though he did not understand what she said specifically, he was dancing and having so much fun. This was an amazing experience all around. If you have never come to this restaurant before you're really missing out. Get on the phone and get a reservation. You WILL need reservations, as this place was full without an empty seat in the house. I can't wait to come back!

Service was slow , the waitress at first wouldn't look at me when i was talking to her ,but soon changed her attitude. We had the Botana Ceviche and it was delicious; nice and fresh and the avocados where alalso very frsh. Also ordered camarones al la diabla . All the salsas where watery and bland. The atmosphere was pleasant not to rowdy more families.
