| - I was in the city today running errands and my stomach finally started complaining, so I needed to find food fast! (Hangry anyone?) I remembered Native Tongues on my bookmarks and was in the area, so with a hop, skip and a jump I made my way to Native Tongues Taqueria.
I was greeted by a hostess who let me choose my seating (I was 1 person, so bonus!). I sat down at the bar and was greeted by the bartender/server. He was very friendly and gave me the food and drink menu to peruse as I drank some water. I decided to go for Hongos Tacos de Guisado (vegetarian for non native speakers, like me...) and the Esquites (a corn mix with feta, onion, mayo, cilntro, and lime). There are 6 different types of taco fillings that you can get, all for the same price ($3.95), most are meat based except for the Hongos (veggie) and Frijoles (refried beans). I would suggest trying a few different taco fillings for your first order, then if you feel the need, get some more if you are still hungry so you can at least explore some of the other flavours.
The tacos and esquites arrived a short 10 minutes later, and I did not waste any time either eating them! The tacos are only a few bites, I bought 3, and were in a warm corn tortilla, along with a side of green and red salsa. The corn came de cobbed in a little metal ramekin. The tacos primarily were mushroom based, the menu said kale was in them, but I didn't notice a lot, and a drizzle of cream on each one. They were really delicious! The corn tortilla really added to the flavour, and the mushrooms were nice and hardy. I put plenty of the red and green salsa on each one to add some 'oomph' to them. The corn was also tasty, although I would have liked a bigger flavour punch. The corn sweat that accumulated at the bottom (I swear it is tastier than I make it sound) was great as all the seasonings and flavour collected and you could mix it nicely with the remaining corn kernels.
After finishing my first course I decided that I was still a little empty and ordered Molletes (This is only available on the Brunch menu twice a week according to the server/bartender). Two pieces of grilled sour dough with refried beans, melted gouda cheese, seasoned diced tomatoes, cilantro and feta. Holy cow, what a delicious plate! I managed to eat both slices and totally revelled in the flavours! Highly recommend if you get a chance to go in on a weekend for brunch (11:30-3PM Sat/Sun). It is quite filling, so either use it as a starter for two people, or your meal with something smaller. I have to say the Molletes was my second favourite of the entire meal! My first...well I took home a freshly baked and glazed Dona (Translation: glazed donut). I ate this delicious guy on the way home in the car (totally was not driving and eating at all....okay I was). For those lucky Canadians who got their hands on a freshly made Krispi Kream donut way back before they got closed down cause they were so darn good (another lie, people realized they were really fatty and bad so stopped going to the stores, but aren't all good things?!). This donut is basically the equivalent, now there is a different taste to it, the best way I can describe it is that it has a Mexican twist, almost a slight corn taste, but sweet and heavenly. HIGHLY recommend getting one for dessert or to go for a nice evening treat after you have burned off your meal.
Overall a very tasty experience at Native Tongues! I would love to come back with some buddies to try more food and maybe some cocktails.
