Dinner on the Miami River at Casa Blancas

Had dinner at Casa Blancas on the Miami River. Mondays, all you can eat peel and eat shrimp for free, and Wednesdays all you can eat oysters free.  If you sit at the bar, you have to drink Presidentes beer on Monday and Mojitos on Wednesday. If you sit at a table and order food, you can drink whatever you want. We were in Wednesday, but we sat at a table outside next to the river, and ordered some appetizers, coconut shrimp and ceviche. A guy and his girlfriend were sitting at the bar all night, eating oysters and drinking Mojitos. The oysters were free all night, but I don’t know how many Mojitos they drank. When they left, she was smashed.  But I guess, what with all the oysters, he was ready for what ever was to come, so to speak.
