Tag Archives: Cuatro Hermanos

Photo Challenge #565

From one end of town (Tacombi) to the other (Mexica), Westport has several Mexican restaurants.

But only one has a sombrero on its roof.

That’s Cuatro Hermanos (not “Quatro,” as most readers spelled it). (Click here to see the photo.)

Our much smaller version of the infamous South of the Border restaurant (aka “tourist trap”) on I-95 is located near our own stretch of 95: on Saugatuck Avenue, at the foot of Sunrise Road.

(I have not driven through South Carolina in a while. I don’t know if Pedro, their culturally offensive mascot, is still there. Or their borderline racist billboards.)

Alert, well-fed readers who correctly identified Pedro — er, 4 Brothers — are Andrew Colabella, Bryan Schwartz, Dan Vener, Regina Kiska, Seth Schachter, Sal Liccione, Martha Witte, Michael Szeto, Dave Eason, Seth Braunstein, Sean Liberty and Tom Olson.

¡Felicidades!

Slicing Up Saugatuck

Today was hot and humid. But it’s never too hot for Saugatuck’s great Italian food, from places like Tutti’s and Tarantino’s.

Or Mexican (Viva’s, Cuatro Hermanos), Thai (Rainbow) or Japanese (Kawa Ni).

Every restaurant — including Dunkin’ Donuts — was represented at this afternoon’s Slice of Saugatuck.

So were stores, ranging from liquor (99 Bottles) to sports (Attic) to my favorite — not just in Saugatuck but all of Westport (Indulge by Mersene).

The 5th annual event was sponsored by the Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce. Funds benefit the Gillespie Center food pantry. Slice is nice!

The line to sample Julian's pizza ran past Parker Mansion.

Fajitas And Fumes

Cuatro Hermanos means “four brothers.”

Perhaps this is where they hold summer business meetings, almost in Saugatuck Avenue.

Either that, or it’s the latest evidence that you really can have popup seating anywhere these days.
