Nixing
the Narc but not the Crepes
When Ernesto Dominquez had a gun pointed
in his face by a Narco at Ez Café that he owned in Ixtapa, he knew it was time
to get out of the resort. The year was 2015. Within two weeks, he moved to San
Miguel and opened up Ez Café and Crepes. Ernesto and Ez are a happy match. The sunny
outdoor café has a lovely outdoor 5-table terrace where you eat his
extraordinary food.
The menu is simple and it’s bilingual
(Spanish and English). I ordered the alkaline
healthy greens juice (cucumber, lime, spinach, mint, parsley and apple). Not as
delicious, but great for the skin. Aside from the six breakfast egg styles he
cooks on the spot, his great attraction are his crepes: sweet ones like
strawberry, blackberry, raspberry and peach, caramel ones with walnuts, and his pièce de la résistance – the ”Ez Roll” which consists of Nutella, slices of
bananas, cranberries, strawberries, whipped cream and choco chips. WOW!
I admit that I prefaced this number with
the Ez turkey breast with manchego cheese crepe – cut in the shape of a
triangle. The menu also has waffles and a grand assortment of coffees.
Ernesto is charming and his culinary
training matches in spades his winning smile. He spent six months in Paris,
trained at New York’s prestigious CIA for gourmet grandeur, worked in Paris,
and even did a stint at Disney’s Epcot Centre in Orlando Florida, running the
Mexican restaurant there.
