text: I am a sucker for tapas or bocadillos in this case although I used to think bocadillos were sandwiches which shows you how much I know but I digress So when I saw this place in Town Square I had to check it outnnFirst of all there are entries for Caufa on yelp Both refer to the same place but one has the address wrong The correct address is Las Vegas Blvd I am posting my review under bothnnNow for the review Caufa is located in the spot vacated by Louiss Fish Camp and they did a great job of remodeling the space Louiss had a small bar and the entry way was a little odd kind of felt like you were walking in through the back door to get into the restaurant because of the small door walking by the bathrooms and getting a glimpse of the behind the bar area before getting to the dining area With Caufa the doorway is larger and more inviting and the bar is pushed back adjoining the patio areas The interior of the place is much darker and intimate as well The bathrooms are in the same location but are not as pronouncednnAs for the food ehh it was ok but not great Not even really good eithernn Hamachi ceviche as other reviews have mentioned they are not traditional ceviches They are more like sashimi slices laying on a streak of citrus sauce Hardly enough citrus to cook the hamachi It did not taste all that fresh and lacked flavornn Short ribs one large short rib in a deep pool of guava glaze The meat was very tender but did not have much depth in flavor A few more spices would have given it some kick and made this a great dish but the meat all on its own was a little dullnn Piggy back dates It seems like every tapasbocadillos place HAS to have bacon wrapped dates I guess I should be glad that this place did because it was the best dish of the night Great textures although the amount of goat cheese mousse was overkill and great flavorsnn Beef empanadas the outside of the empanadas was flaky and a little crispy The inside could have used more beef Almost every bite was pastry with a hint of beef The beef tasted pretty good I just wanted more of itnn Crispy shrimp decent flavor not as crispy as I would have likednn Sangria while it did taste good it was not strong enough and was too sweet It was not what I was expectingnnWe sat at the bar on a Saturday night and did not have any trouble finding seats The service was very good Our bartender was on top of things and we did not have to wait long for drinks or food even though he and the other bartenders were very busy all those mojitos take a while to make Our bill came out to about including tip for two people not bad However I doubt I will be back for the food Caufa might be a coolchill place for happy hour but there are better places around town for tapas I would give them stars if I could but m rounding up
