Located on Blvd Antonio Mijares one half block from the Plaza, Casa Don Rodrigo is in a house built in 1920 by the first mayor Don Rodrigo Aragon. Entering the passage way to the restaurant, there is a bar on the left followed by an air-conditioned dining room of Cantina 29. The end of the passage way opens to a casual dining room with two private dining rooms (one a wine cellar) on the right.

We chose a table for four and the waiter brought us the simple summer menu. The menu includes a number of appetizer items to share, soup and salad, main courses of chicken, catch-of-the day, surf and turf brochettes, risotto, chile relleno, and a table side Fettuccine Don Rodrigo. While we were reviewing the menu, we watched one of the servers preparing the table side Fettucine and it smelled amazing. The ladies selected the Grilled Caesar Salad as their starter that was served with a regional cheese crust. I decided to try the zucchini carpaccio with arugula, pumpkin seeds, and a citrus vinaigrette. It was a huge platter and everyone had a taste. What a great starter!

For main courses, Gene selected the Chile Relleno; Karen, Beth and I all ordered the catch of the day. The catch of the day was Sea Bass in garlic sauce and was served with rice and grilled vegetables. The Chile Relleno was a cheese stuffed poblano pepper with cheese and a red sauce on top. All of the food was excellent as was the service.

Like other restaurants in San Jose del Cabo business was slow due to the construction at the roundabout, which is limiting the willingness of people to fight the traffic. We will definitely go back.
