I have good news for the fans of the Mexican seafood cuisine formerly served on Dutton Avenue. While El Siete Mares is absent from the Waco restaurant scene at the moment, it's plotting a return.
I caught up with El Siete Mares proprietor Sergio Garcia on Monday at his new place, El Potosino. He said he opened El Potosino about seven months ago as a place to land while he thought through the relocation of El Siete Mares.
Garcia has his feelers out and has designs on one spot in particular for the future El Siete Mares. However, nothing has been set at this point.
In the meantime, Garcia is cooking up and serving good Mexican food at El Potosino, a quaint spot on the corner of 4th Street and David Drive between downtown and the Cameron Park Zoo. He said he still brings in some shrimp and fish and, though it's not on the menu, you can talk him into making some of the El Siete Mares dishes if that's what you're craving.
El Potosino is open for breakfast and lunch (7 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily) and offers an extensive breakfast menu. You want a chorizo, egg and cheese burrito? You got it. You want pancakes? You got it. You want a pork chop breakfast with a side of migas? You got it.
