Duck Is Pato
Feb 3rd, 2008 by Don Ray
I received a message the other night that Renegado had some duck. It is on the menu when they have it, but they don’t have it all the time. I had told them when the had it next to let me know.
The following photo is my duck plate. Everyone at the table sampled it and it got high marks. I also liked the rice that Berta had made. I asked about the unique seasoning it had, and she said it was from Peru. I enjoyed my plate, The duck plate costs around $11.00.
The other two plates were a new pasta dish. Sorry, I didn’t take a photo because I was too occupied with my duck. I did taste the pasta and I thought it was great.
We did order two desserts. This was the cheesecake.
The other was lemon pie.
All of our bellies were full and all sweet tooths were satisfied. It was another nice outing to Renegado. Thanks for the heads up on the duck, David.
YIKES!
Don! Them’s Costa Rica prices!! The wife had a *killer* fat sirloin the other day for $9 here!! She gave me taste. Killer. I swear the chef screwed up and grabbed a rib eye!
Hi KK. The price of anything I think is based on the quality and the availability. My duck was very good and it made my evening special.
Commuting from Austin to San antonio ten years ago was a nightmare at five. So my buddy and I began hanging out at a pub in Austin (just letting the traffic die down, you know) called Pato’s. Great westside cantina. pato’s burned down about four years ago.
Our first trip to David, we stayed at the Gran Nacional. Walking around the block, we encountered what had to be an old McDonald’s, now proudly bearing the name “Pato’s”.
It was the first picture I sent back to friends in Austin!! The duck has flown the coop!
Hi Mary. I have seen McPato, but never gone in. I understand they have good ice cream cones. I don’t think it was ever a McDonald’s. They just chose some of the same colors. I may need to go by and take some photos.
Don,
Just as the sirloin could’ve definitely been rib eye, you think that ‘duck’ could have been pollo de patio soaked in tenderizer overnight?
No. The flavor was definitely duck. There could be no mistake.
“from farmer:
-….last words of duck …”cuac, cuac…”…”
..but, we heared about pollo de patio ventriloquist in CR
More seriously, we were waiting for ducks with some pound more of weight, normally in Spain are more than 6 pounds. but this kind of duck in panama normally are in 3 to 4 lb for chinesse restaurants , and we had wait near 3 weeks more to have over 5 lb, and was cooked with prunes.
In few weeks we will ready with new plates with lamb also.

Hi David,
I will look forward to trying the lamb.
