Last weekend we tried out a restaurant not too far from the apartment with the unusual name of "Papa Guapa" (Good-looking potato). The decor of the place is very much like an old-time 1950s diner, but as the name implies, the menu features potato dishes. Definitely not a place to go if you are on a "keto" diet.
The service was slow, but we will forgive them that since they were short handed, and the place was crowded when we first arrived. Finally our order was taken, and after another wait, our food began to come out.
We both ordered the potato leek soup which was very good.
I also had macaroni and cheese which was excellent.
The main courses, the "papas guapas", are potatoes stuffed with a variety of fillings. All of the choices are named after female celebrities.
I ordered a "Papa Hayek" which had a stuffing of chicken fajitas, cheese and a layer of sauteed spinach with "poblano" pepper sauce. Alejandro had a "Paponna Summer". The potato was stuffed with roast beef, mushrooms and cheese and covered with beef gravy.
Although it wasn't the healthiest of meals, the food was good. We will probably return.
