| - This is really a 3.5 rating, but more of a 3 than 4. After much hype, a group of friends and I decided to give Superica a try. For a group of 10, the wait was 2 HOURS, even when we said we would be fine with 2 tables of 5. To say I was HANGRY is an understatement. Once we were seated, things began looking up. Our waitress, Samantha, was amazing! She constantly tended to us and removed plates, cups and etc. from our table as quickly as possible to ensure we would be comfortable.
We ordered a plethora of appetizers to share including the Guacamole, Queso, Chicken Fajita Nachos and Campechana de Mariscos. I highly recommend the Queso, definitely best Queso I've ever had! I also really love their house made sauces for the complimentary chips. For dinner, I tried the Gulf Red Snapper and the Gulf Shrimp and Snapper Ceviche. LOVED the Gulf Red Snapper and the presentation was amazing! They deep fried a giant red snapper and simmer it under verde sauce and avocado. We devoured the entire fish! Market price was $34 I believe, which I thought was a good value. Sadly, the ceviche was extremely underwhelming. It lacked flavor and the shrimp/Snapper were overpowered by the ingredients in the dish. Strange that it was both overpowering and lacked flavor? While our overall experience was enjoyable, most of the dishes didn't live up to 2 hours worth of expectation. Also, prices are pretty high for a Tex-Mex spot (in my opinion). Not sure I'd come back for that kind of wait time, but was worth the try.
Recommend:
1. Queso
2. Red Snapper
Don't Recommend:
1. Campecchana
2. Ceviche
Heads up - a good amount of the dishes had quite a kick to them. While I love spicy food, I know a lot of people do not. If you're sensitive to spicy food, I would recommend informing your server.
