Yes, you can find refried beans all over the menu but I only like certain types of beans + I was afraid it might be too authentic to like, so I omitted ordering those.<br /><br />You can leave churros out from your list of food to try because you will definitely not like it as they're coated in cinnamon sugar and will be too sweet for your taste buds.contact.ewewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142689964601201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834220008218845143.post-34520773701241874462015-09-11T11:08:29.605+08:002015-09-11T11:08:29.605+08:00Yeah, perhaps the churros were over-fried this tim...Yeah, perhaps the churros were over-fried this time. On the contrary, I think you'll find the margaritas rather enjoyable, like I did, if you like the taste of fruit juices coz the ones here taste more fruity than intoxicating.

It may not suit many of our palates but you should try it at least once to see if you like it. If you enjoy fresh citrus flavours, you might like ceviche too. As for the patterns on the churros, we call those ridges piped from a star-shaped nozzle.contact.ewewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142689964601201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834220008218845143.post-24429711860542832272015-09-11T05:46:10.074+08:002015-09-11T05:46:10.074+08:00What a thorough review!

Many often think of Tex Mex or Cali Mex, which is equally delicious but a little different to the extensive cuisine found across the country itself. Glad you loved the Margaritas. Shame the other dishes didn't quite live up to expectations. Now that they have two outlets I wonder if they're feeling stretched with the management of both.The Yum Listhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401523207811915718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834220008218845143.post-5899265361433577432015-09-10T22:59:06.910+08:002015-09-10T22:59:06.910+08:00How come you did not go to the Ampang outlet since...How come you did not go to the Ampang outlet since it is closer to your place? The best Mexican food that I have eaten was in Edinburgh and I can't find any here that matches it. Where are the refried beans? Apart from guacamole, I believe Frijoles Refritos (refried beans) signifie authentic Mexican food. Have you eaten Mexican refried beans before? I like to eat them, very tasty and I ate them in Edinburgh, uh uh uh, not where you expect to find good Mexican food.<br /><br />I have not eaten churros before but they look like sweet yau char kuai to me. Too bad the tacos pork were not what you expected. Don't think I will eat here unless I really want to try Mexican food. munhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11449093706822850017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834220008218845143.post-60079990350650366462015-09-10T22:43:54.534+08:002015-09-10T22:43:54.534+08:00Dragon fruit margarita??

I'm trying to imagine the taste and conclude that I probably would not like it hahaha!<br /><br />I had the same thoughts when I saw the churros. Why so dark? Over-fried?? It is very difficult to mess up something like churros, so I guess it was really that bad huh..RealGunnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10825458587938489052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834220008218845143.post-8982136751727831792015-09-10T14:34:50.853+08:002015-09-10T14:34:50.853+08:00Have not had Mexican for a long long time, not sin...Have not had Mexican for a long long time, not since Chilis' at Mid Valley...and Taco Bill in Singapore.

In fact...That's one cuisine that I want to try. In fact I asked my brother some time ago if he knew of any authentic Mexican restaurant. I know for sure I will love the Guacamole with tortilla chips. Can't go wrong with that. The Ceviche, maybe.<br /><br />So you did not finish the Tacos Campechanos due to the funny taste? What a pity! I would most likely go for beef if I chose this. The churros look like a disaster hah..hah...I remember them (from El Cerdo) to be lighter in color and you can clearly see the patterns (don't know how to call it) on the churros. Maybe there was an "accident" in the kitchen hah..hah...<br /><br />The Passion Fruit Magarita looks good. Must KIV that one. I just hope it doesn't knock me out because I don't tolerate alcohol very well.<br /><br />Well, with the Tacos Campechanos and Churros not quite up to expectations and the Tacos Ensenada just so-so, I guess this outing was not so satisfactory. You only enjoyed the appetizers and magarita (which you spilled hah..hah...). PHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11010771600736676432noreply@blogger.com
