Blue Agave

Blu Agave, Cape Coral Pkwy., E., Cape Coral, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and some chatter.
The food.  AHHH finally another good authentic Mexican eatery in the Cape. Salsa that is house made and another treat of a fermented cabbage. A big serving of corn chips. Hold off on the chips.
On a large hot platter size plate , I got beef Chili Colorado Y Mas. Chunks of beef in a tomatoe sauce,with a chili relleno, refried beans and rice. So delish.
For later I took home the super burrito plate. Tasty good, big and so filling. See pic.
Service was great.When its cools off I will be back to eat on the out door patio.
Give this a try.

The Beef Guy

The Beef Guy, Del Prado Blvd.,S., Cape Coral, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
Chatter... They serve Italian beef sandwiches & Chicago style  hotdogs.
Being the frugal king I got the hotdogs. Every Tuesday the dogs are 2 bucks each. Cannot beat this.
This is not a new place. They moved from Santa Barbara Blvd.
But the service is still great as well as the food.
The dogs are served on a sesame bun, mild peppers, pickle and tomatoes. So tasty.
So if you wish to taste a bit of the windy city, try the italian beef or the standard hotdogs.



Taco Pancho

Taco Pancho, Santa Barbara Blvd. Cape Coral, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on food and chatter.
Lets start with a rant. Why is this place is still open!? I am suprized. Oh I forgot this is SWFL and folks do not know good mexican food or a value for their dollar.
It was a a sunday and my plans fell thru. So I was hungry, this was the only place open and nearby.
I got without looking at the price my favorite chili rellenois . Staff was nice and food came too fast. Tells me it was micro wave. This entree was 10 bucks and was small compare to other REAL mexican joints in the area. Plus it was so bland, I needed 3 containers of hot sauce.
I have gotten larger chili and plates for $6.00 or $8.00 depending on lunch or what have you.
Of course I waited a bit longer, also the food was SO MUCH more TASTY.
Plus I got SO  much VALUE for my MONEY.   www.rholland63.blogspot.com



Sweet Tomatoes

Sweet Tomatoes, Tamiami Trl., Ft. Myers, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chit chat. It is a buffet of salad and soup.. It is for mostly health crazies and veggie heads.
I got a free birthday meal.
All of the salads are fresh, crispy and good for the body.
I went here for the soups. I got a chicken and dumpling, a so call chili, a udon soup, cream of mushroom ( over power by bacon, who would have known) Plus a few other. They give you small bowls so you can sample & find out what turns you on. There is fresh bread, rolls and pasta. A dessert station is also available .
I do not recommend the pasta unless you are from Florida or over 65. Very bland and tasteless.
Staff is wonderful.    www.rholland63.blogspot.com


Capones Coal Fire Pizza

Capone's Coal Fire Pizza, 1st St., Ft. Myers,Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
I can only attest to the food. I had this delivered by the bite squad. (they did a great job).
I got a Caesar salad, extra croutons & dressing, 5 bucks, and the Capone's shrimp fettuccine, $19
The salad was great fresh romaine lettuce, romano cheese, and large. Also got my additional request at no charge.
Capone's Fettuccine,  Beautiful house made , green in color ,spinach pasta cooked to a perfect al dente. Mushroom, tomatoes and a Boursin cheese sauce. Shrimps were a plenty ,fresh and cooked to perfection.
The entree was big enough to serve 2 person or for a second meal.
My only observation was not enough garlic. Maybe just me.
This was a deal for a frugal foodie.

Hooters

Hooters, Del Prado Blvd., Cape Coral, FL., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
My food. $4.25 for a bottle of Heineken, 10 boneless wings. Hot.
First over 4 bucks for a bottle of beer :-(.   The wings were not even close to being hot. Spicy that is. PLUS NOT EVEN WINGS...A some kind of white process meats. And only in a oddly formed chicken nuggets?
Wings have 3 parts and they are dark meat. This is just a fabricated way to sell process food to the dumb masses.
I was here because of a free food offer. Never more free or not.

The Bubble Room

The Bubble Room, Capitva Dr., Captiva, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chit chat.
The food. Be advised that you cannot order dinner items at lunch time.   :-( 
My entree was Errol Fin, A fried grouper with carribean rice and a mild salsa. 17 bucks. I must say it was good. Fried crispy  & moist inside. Rice was fluffy with good flavors. Salsa was just right.
Oh yes, an 8oz. baby bottle of Coke for $1.75...In my younger days a 10oz. bottle of Coke was 10 cents.
The stars here are the desserts. I got my to go. An Orange crush & red velvet. BIG slices at 7.95 a pop. Big, sweet ,moist, too much for just person at one time. EXCELLENT
NOW CHATTER...
This was an hour drive from the Cape on a Monday. Expect 2 hours on a weekend. This is an old fashion tourist spot. I heard German, Japanese & Spanish spoken while there.
This is a nice touristy drive. 70 + years in the making . No handicapped parking, two small bridges to enter building, unpaved unmarked parking lot.
Nice friendly staff. Say it someone bday and get sung to.
Oh yes touristy prices.
A touristy to do once in life.
