My favorite meal in PDC? HC de Monterrey butcher shop... - Page 13

Felony · 11-07-2006

You guys are making it very difficult to make wise choices for my 4 days in PDC. Too many places I want to try, guess this might be one of them. I'm writing it on my mapchick map, so I won't forget!

Are there any days of the week that HC's is closed? I'd hate to get there and not get to enjoy it!
Thanks,
Buzz

I don't know..........but all the taxi drivers know this place!!!!

I don't think its on the mapchick map.

This is, far and away, my FAVORITE place to eat in Playa. Please do yourself a favor and make the trip. Its about a 7 to 10 minute walk from the south end of 5th ave.

Well, we finally made it to HC today after going last year and not finding it (I believe it was closed last year).

It is without a doubt one of the best meals we have had in Playa. We are only here through Saturday, but I think we will be going back again before we leave.

I realize it's not on Mapchick

, that's why I wrote it on there. I realize there is NO WAY i wanna miss this place after all the yummy raves about it!

I'm finally checking in with my H C de Monterrey review! We went for lunch a week ago Friday, November 10th. Oh. My. Gosh. Unbelievably good! And I'm not even a big meat eater. It was wonderful and now hubby thinks I'm the smartest woman in the world for finding it.

Seriously, it was everything claimed and more. I wanted to go back a second time, but it never worked out. And...
Funny thing, I could've sworn I recognized someone from a table of Americans there - a woman who looked like Susie Q's avatar. Now that I've seen the pics from the peep meet that night (which unfortunately we missed, due to a dinner that ran way late), I am sure that it was her. Not sure who the group with her was. Looks like we weren't the only peeps trying it out!

Darn, Buzz... You should have said something! Yes, Rick (Babaloo on here) and I were there with some friends of ours from Ohio. We almost always go there first thing when he gets in town and we also had to treat our friends to the best meal in Playa.

Wish we could have met you!

(PS - did you notice the cat we had with us?

)

BuzzA · 11-20-2006

Hi Susita,
No, I didn't notice the cat! We were sitting at the table beside you - I was facing your friends from Ohio, wearing a Texas Tech visor. You guys were finishing up within 5 minutes of our arrival, but I should've said something. Next time, I will.

After lunch, we wandered through town, looking for a good margarita. I recognized Posada Freud, so we stopped and had a few with Jose. Jeff & Julie were there and I *did* introduce myself to them -- they knew I was from the forum when I told Jose "I've heard this place has great margaritas". Good times.
I'd love to meet you next time.

OK, I have looked at this thread for a year and you have convinced me to try. My group will be in PDC Feb 2007. Does the shop take plastic, or do I have to bring cash?

bufante · 12-05-2006

I don't know...but cash is always king...enjoy!

Don't quote me on this, but I can almost say for certain that they don't take credit cards. This isn't a tourist destination, by any means... not a 5th avenue cruise passenger magnet. @ under $10USD a person, just stuff a little extra in your pocket and you're good to go.

cuffedlinks · 12-05-2006

We ate there Sunday night...
Definitely bring folding money - preferably pesos...

VERY local place and I didn't see any way for them to do on-cash transactions there.

Our meals came to under $17 USD with soft drinks...
We left a $200 Pesos bill and called it good.
