Colins Cantina sits at the entrance to the Princesa de Penasco Resort. New this year, Colins has become the neighborhood diner and corner bar all rolled into one.
Colins offers Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner six days a week (closed Wednesdays). On the menu can be found baskets full of tasty fish tacos, a chicken burger topped with real Hatch green chili, or over sized chicken fingers served with the house chipotle cream sauce for dipping.
Portions tend towards the large. I tried the Chimichanga (pictured above). It is filled with beef or chicken and deep fried to a golden brown. Presented in true dinner style with guacamole, sour cream, fries and beans on the side. Caramba!
Breakfast is a mix of Mexican and American favorites, from Machaca and eggs to lox and bagels, with all you would expect in between. One serious contender for best breakfast in town are the blueberry bacon pancakes. Big and fluffy, they tell me that a lot of time went into finding the correct ratio of bacon bits to blueberries. Sounds like an excuse to pig out to me!
Little Colins has recently been expanded with a new dining area, bringing in some corner booths and more tables. The folks who work at Colins really are friendly, and if you are spending time down at the Princesa pool, dont be surprised to see a waiter in with a big sombrero come around asking if you would like to order snacks aor something to drink. Now thats serrvice.
Colins Cantina is open to the public, and is easy to find at the entrance to the Princesa Resort on Rocky Points Sandy Beach.
