Stonegrilling, Dos Locos, Rehoboth Beach, Restaurant, Mexican Cuisine, Review, Delaware Beaches…A Gluten Free Menu? You bet!

Rehoboth Beach, Delaware is a strong little coastal town.  To take a storm they way it did, took guts.  With the help of the town and the community, it almost looks like it just went through a bad rainy day, for the most part.

Addy, my dog, kept looking out.  Not sure if for squirrels; she hates them.  Or, she was wondering if the nightmare of an evening was over yet.

Walking through my neighborhood with Addy, I found plenty of leaves; the ground was soaked.  There are neighborhoods in Rehoboth Beach where only residents can go in.  Clean up is going fast.

Last Friday I bought some pumpkins for the front of the house.  I stacked a smaller pumpkin on top of a larger one.  Then arranged the others the best way I could.  Once the storm hit I thought they would be taking off like projectiles.  Guess what?  All that wind and rain, and they did not move.  Here is the picture.  They are exactly the way I had arranged them.

I have a guest staying overnight.  He is my cousin.  He is on his way to Southern New Jersey to work for FEMA.  Months of cases to be processed.  So, not having had the pleasure of stonegrilling, Dos Locos was our choice for the evening.

Dos Locos is a very casual and fun restaurant located at 208 Rehoboth Avenue.  Tel. 302-227-3353.  Website?  http://www.doslocos.com.  It is also a locals favorite in downtown Rehoboth Beach.  A festive atmosphere, for sure.  The restaurant has a gluten free menu, as well.

But, tonight, Rehoboth Beach, was quiet.  You could not tell that a hurricane had just passed us by.  Last Sunday, Dos Locos made the news when it caught the attention of a few, with its “No Candy 4 Sandy”.

A few drinks were ordered.

The warm chips and salsa arrived at our table.

And then, the stonegrilling began.  The stone are heated to over 750 degrees. They are, definitely, hot and will stay hot.

Scallops

Blanco & Negro Sesame Encrusted Ahi Tuna

My choice was the Sauteed Pulled Duck Fajitas….I really do like them.  Full of flavor.  Actually, a pretty large portion.

And, I forgot to take a picture of the pumpkin flan….it was gone in not time.

Note:  Dos Locos offers daily features, like a $5 weekday Mexican lunch.  Every day there is a special going on.  Tomorrow, Wednesday, is $5 off any Fajita and $5 House Lime Margaritas.  Thursday, which is a favorite in my household, is the $10 Stonegrill Seafood plus side, half-priced bottles of White Wine, and $2 off any glass of White Wine….check the website to find what else is going on.

And to you, Dos Locos….thanks so much for such an attentive service.  Great talking to you.

Dos Locos, Rehoboth Beach, Stonegrilling, Restaurant, Review, Thursdays $10 Stonegrill Seafood Night, Delaware Beaches

This was not my first time at Dos Locos and it won’t be by last.  The evening started by taking 2 friends to enjoy a dinner out in downtown Rehoboth Beach. 

I chose Dos Locos because it is a casual restaurant and my husband was dying for stonegrilled scallops. 

As we arrived my friend said to her husband “let me sit across from Gloria…we are going to talk about fashion and jewelry….haha.  That set the tone for laughter and a really fun meal to be enjoyed with close friends.

Dos Locos is located at 208 Rehoboth Avenue.  Tel. 302-227-3353.  Website? www.doslocos.com.  The restaurant has a full size bar on one side and booths and tables on another.  Even a private room is available for parties.

Alex was our server and he was really so attentive, as usual.  Gosh we talked and talked….chips and salsa always at the table.

A few shots of tequila, a martini, and a margarita came to the table.  The Margarita was freshly made; no mix there.  It went so smoothly that another had to be ordered.

Some ordered from the stonegrill menu.  Stonegrilling is very social.  A stone is brought to your table and it is heated at about 700 degrees.  You will be doing the cooking.  All meat or seafood arrives raw. You can personalize it by cooking it rare, medium or well.  When you cook on these stones the food is seared with all the natural juices inside.  Very healthy; no oils and fats are included; just rubs and dipping sauces.  All dishes came with a salad or chef’s side.

The Scallops.

The Scallops and Steak.

Another entree was the Steak Quesadilla which was grilled steak with melted cheese and a choice of Vallarta sauce which is a tomato sauce or the Santa Fe with jalapenos.  She ordered the Santa Fe….Que bueno!!

I decided on Steak Fajitas.  I love making my own.  Temperature?  Medium rare.  It was a good size entre and it really hit the spot.  Delicioso!!

As I looked at the table I thought it looked fun.  Rice, beans, salsa, and dips!!  Nothing else was needed.

It was such a nice evening…..Dos Locos has Happy Hour, specials pretty much every night of the week….they are also on Facebook. 

Note:  Dos Locos also offers a Gluten Free Menu

Gracias Amigos…Hasta Luego…
