that I might be in for it the other day when I ordered iced tea at Capone's (my first visit) and they told me that there would be a wait while they brewed it. So I thought I'd get something simple, the Shrimp basket. It comes with 2 choices, and curly fries seemed like a simple choice, at least they wouldn't have to "brew" those. The shrimp and fries came in a basket all right, but it should have been called a grease basket, not a shrimp basket. The fries and the shrimp were the same color, a dark dirty old grease dark brown, and I could have wrung out the fries like a dirty wash rag as they were all stuck together in a gooey grease ball in the bottom of the basket. The shrimp was over cooked, and a ugly dark brown, the color of dirty grease. At one point the waitress came by and asked how our dinner was, so I picked up a dark gooey ball of curly fries and told here that they were very greasy, and as she could see "all stuck together". She just gave me a dismissing hand jester as she turned away saying, "Oh, those are just curly fries... I didn't notice till later that steamer clams were on the menu until I saw them being brought out to a nearby table. I should have ordered those, at least they wouldn't have been in a dirty grease ball.

When they started out the food was so good. The help was helpfull. The prices were reasonable. Now the food sucks, the help is no help and the prices are thru the roof. $20 for a large pizza??? I think this is one of the reasons people have stopped coming here. Greedy resturants and hotels make it cheeper for a family to go on vacation to San Diego than to come here.

Uh..Oh Kenny...you're going to catch it now from the Capone's "lovers"....... I think everyone that's a regular on here knows my feeling about Capones....if I want to go to a "Scottsdale yuppie OVERPRICED sports bar"....I'll go to Scottsdale!!!! At least I probably won't be verbally abused by one of the owners....

BUT....

I went in on a previous trip down (about a month ago)...only because I wanted to get together with a friend who is a regular....that is the ONLY reason I will ever enter the doors.....I ordered the blackened grouper...although it was my first time eating grouper...it was delicious....and it was reasonably priced.......the service was ok.....but SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!!!!!

On the prices....I'm finiding that many of the places in Penasco have raised theirs to the level of the US....I was in Ramons (the original one)....and found those prices to be higher then I remembered, and no "all the fried fish you can eat" on the menu.....

Kenny, you knew you just wanted to impress your girlfriend, so many other choices of real Mexico experience you choose the one that is far away from Mexico's traditions, next time go to Sapporo, next door, the food is really good and the freshly squeeze lemonade is to die for, but you must specify "freshly squeeze" otherwise you get the machine made one!!
I probably was at Sapporo enjoying my freshly made dinner, couple of shots of Corralejo Reposado and lots of lemonade!! while you were having your stomach pumped by ~~~Happy's Sewer Cleaner and Food Delivery Service~~~

Sorry to hear about the bad meal, Kenny. I'm not going to try to defend Capone's on it. I have had many good meals there, but like you, the prices are getting totally off the hook. I've always liked it for the convenience factor, being right next to Playa Inn. Staggering distance after a long, hot day on the water. But a pizza is just a pizza and theirs have gotten very pricey.

I prefer to go to La Curva (don't start, Happy) and have them cook my fresh fish for me. They do a great job and no big balls of grease.

Speaking of fish frys, does Black Dog still have the all-you-can-eat Fish Fry on Friday nights? They used to do an outstanding job with their fried fish. All you can eat was seldom an issue, because the huge flounder fillets they served filled the plate. Rare occasion that I'd order a 2nd round. I stopped going there once they put in the slot machines, but may consider going back if they still don't have the mini-casino.

Ramons has been having the dirty grease problem the last few trips so we went to Capones instead. Their oil hasn't been dirty that I know of and their fish is of better quality than Ramons. They have never had fish and chips on the menu at Ramon's since I've been going but they always served them.

Ink, we went to the lighthouse the first night. It might not be all that "traditional", but it's a good choice if you want a view and a pleasant experience, and never a bad meal. I finally tried the bacon wrapped Shrimp there, and it was good for a change, but the bacon over rides the taste of the shrimp. I'm no tourist Ink, so we did eat lunch at a stand in Cholla one day, and another the next. As far as me eating at Capon's, I held out longer than the rest of ya.:har:
Oh, I'm not a fussy eater and don't complain much. The waitress did ask how it was though, but obviously she didn't really care... I just thought I'd pass it on to who ever might be interested.
