This is the first time we have real (I think?) Mexican food. The place wasn't very big, but was absolutely crowded. It opens at 12pm, but when we arrived at around 12.15pm, it was already more than two-third full.... Next time remember to be REALLY on time and wait for it to open...
When we looked at the menu, we had no idea what we should get.
We have no idea what they are, or what the sizes are like. We basically knew nothing. Luckily the staffs are very helpful, explained the menu to us, and even suggested on how many things we should get.
On each table, there are two types of chilli sauce.
We didn't end up trying any of them. After all, I am not that good with chilli sauce...
As a starter, we had Elotes callejeros, as suggested by the waiter. On the menu, the explanation was, "Street Style" chargrilled corn, queso, chipotle mayo & lime.
This was absolutely delicious! The corn with the mayo sauce, the cheese on top, and the spice! Oh! Delicious! It was a very lovely start to the meal. No wonder nearly everyone orders the corn.
Then we had the Tostaditas de Cangrejo, meaning Crab meat, avocado, cucumber, tamarind mayo & habenero on fried tortillas.
This was also very good. The chilli taste didn't come at first, but after a bit, I could feel it heating up. Not extremely, but a ting on the tongue. Nice.
The next to come was the Tacos. At first we weren't going to get these. But when I asked the waiter if he thinks what we ordered will be enough, he suggested that we should get a Tacos each. So, we did.
The one in front is the Tacos de Camarones, which is Marinated prawns, red chilli & chipotle almond salsa. The other one is the Tacos de Pescado - Grilled fish, lime, achiote paste, red onion salsa & chipotle mayo. The Tacos also came with a small Salsa.
The waiter told us that we were suppose to put this in the Tacos and eat it together. Since the Tacos weren't that big, so we didn't share and just had one each. I had the prawn, and mum had the fish. This was also very tasty. The Tacos itself was very good, the salsa was full of taste as well.
Then it was the Torta y Quesadillas de Cordero - Braised lamb, queso criollo, mint & jalapeño herb sauce.
This, was probably the let down of the meal. The grilled tortillas was a bit hard. Taste-wise though, it was good. But I guess I prefer the soft Tacos more.
The last to come was, of course, the dessert. I had the Helado de maiz, which was just a sweetcorn ice cream cone, caramel, popcorn.
It was nice ice-cream, but I probably won't have it next time. After all, $6 was a bit expensive for a one scoop cone...
I really liked this place, and I look forward to going there again. But maybe next time, we should go earlier, like, wait for it to open, so that we can sit at a table, and not at counter seats...
