Adding to our string of articles on visiting Port Chester, NY & The Capitol Theatre, including a show review and pre-show drinks, let’s cover our favorite pre-show dinner,
El Tio. 

We have not had a bad meal at El Tio. It’s right next door to The Cap, so get there by or before 6pm, or you’ll be standing room only. The salsa, guacamole, and chips are made in-house and their $5 margaritas are made to order (and actually solid in strength).

Yes, they have your standard Mexican-American chimichangas, enchiladas, and fajitas, but they also sport carne asada, pan-roasted chicken with mole negro, vegetable chiles rellenos, stuffed poblanos, and more. The last two times we got the chimichangas and carne asada and both were fantastic if you want to go American-style and more authentic.

Take a right out of El Tio and you’re at The Cap!
