Archived Article By Tom Fitzmorris Originally published March 4, 2009 Taqueros/Coyoacan/Stop 9 Opens For Dinner Friday the 13th Guillermo And Ingrid Return (Briefly) Again The fantastically good restaurant operated by Chef Guillermo Peters--the best Mexican restaurant in the history of New Orleans, if the most infuriating--is reopening again. For one night. Maybe more. Let's see. And let's see: that's open in Kenner, close in Kenner, open at St. Charles at Melpomene (before Katrina), close after Katrina, reopen there, reclose there, reopen there, reclose there, reopen as Stop 9, close. Confusing, but always with great food. At least if you like this sort of thing. As it always has been, the menus that come from Guillermo and his daughter Ingrid appeal primarily to those with equally eclectic tastes: Appetizers Ahi Tuna And Crispy Pineapple $12 Ahi Tartare Seasoned With Sesame Oil, Fresh Lime Juice And Ginger Between Crispy Pineapple Rounds With Avocado Creme Fraiche Crawfish Crepe $10 Louisiana Crawfish Wrapped In A Homemade Crepe And Topped With A Tomato Canica Chile Cream Sauce Acapulco Seafood Soup $8 Light Seafood Stock With Local Shrimp, Oysters, And Fish, Seasoned With Roasted Tomatoes And Chipotle Chile Coyoacán Salad $6 Baby Spinach, Queso Fresco, Toasted Pumpkin Seeds, Sliced Avocado And Grape Tomatoes Drizzled With Habanero-blackberry Vinaigrette Entrees Morgan Ranch Wagu Beef Duo $36 Chimichurri Rubbed Sirloin Coulette And Red Wine Braised Short Rib On Roasted Parsnip Mashed Potatoes And Haricot Verts Venison Oaxaqueña $34 Two Chops Grilled Medium Rare Served With Esquites, Grilled Plantain And Chilcotle-cinnamon Sauce Citrus Crusted Red Snapper $28 Topped With A Tamarind Mojo, Served With Baby Arugula, Roasted Corn, And A Chayote Risotto Chile Relleno De Chayote $26 Roasted Poblano Pepper Stuffed With Diced Mirliton, Red Onion And Panela Cheese Over Tomatillo-chipotle Sauce, Served With Black Beans Plato Del Golfo $34 Grilled Octupus, Head-on Gulf Shrimp, And Yucatan Grilled Oysters Served With Tequila Chipotle Dipping Sauce And Cucumber Carrot Slaw Dessert Guillermo’s Ice Duo $7 Tequila-avocado And Grilled Plantain Topped With Port Reduction Linzer Torte $8 Triple Berry Filled Almond Crusted Torte With Dark Chocolate Ganache They begin serving at 6:30 and stop taking reservations at 9 p.m. They have seatings only on the half-hour. Again with the funny rules. Some day, these talented people will address the actual preferences of their many customers and we'll have them to enjoy all the time, instead of occasionally. Stop 9.
