| - While the portions aren't large (at lunch - I hear dinner has larger portions), they are very, very, tasty. And everything is made to order - even the soup!
Since everything is made to order, you really do want to eat everything as soon as you can. Since there are maybe 5 seats in the entire place (3 sharing a table, 2 stools at the window), this can prove tricky when busy. If you're intent on take-out, bring your own containers (for now) - the soup was the only thing that has a container to go.
Green Tostada
Guacamole laced with lime - just the way I like it - piled on a fresh tostada, with lightly marinated tomatoes and a slice of queso fresco cheese. Topped with guajillo chili and tomatillo salsa. A really delicious mixture of creamy and crunchy. I splashed some of the habanero sauce that was on offer beside the table, but it wasn't very hot and I thought the dish was better without it. It really took me away from the dreary rain.
Flank Steak Salad
Great fresh flavours - lime, onion, vinegar, jalapeno, tomato, and shredded flank steak. Sided with tortilla chips (fried to order, apparently. I missed this part as I dorking away on my cell). I could have used more jalapeno for more kick, but it was a really beautifully crafted dish with awesome layers of flavour. I also somehow thought this was a sandwich.
Soup
While you can take this out in a container, I highly recommend you don't. Served piping hot, the avocado will cook and become a bit bitter if you leave it in there too long. A really thick bean soup with lots of flavour topped with tostada strips that gives it some texture. Less my thing.
Lime Charolotte
A lime tiramisu-like dessert topped with fresh lime zest and olive oil. This is a dense and creamy confection. Really nice, but I was so full, I had to save it for later.
So glad I went (read about it in NOW this morning!). Watching the chef make each dish was really interesting. The care he puts in really shows. Am looking forward to a future meal.
COLES NOTES:
- Mexican soul food
- Lime is a strong flavour throughout many dishes.
- If you're looking for this place, it's in the back of a El Gordo's Fine Foods across from Jumbo Empanada. Outside, you'll see a bakery with churros on offer. I missed it on my first pass.
- Dishes around around the $5-6 mark. Cash only.
- Getting my food wasn't fast, but not ridiculously slow either. Just don't be in a rush, m'kay?
