| - Yelp alerted me that there was a hot Mexican restaurant nearby us, we were at Sunrise Hospital. Totally read mom's mind lol Mexican food is her fav & we were impressed by the reviews & pictures.
What a perfectly festive Mexican atmosphere! The bright coral colored building was so easy to find. A large dining area toward the left & an opened seating area & bar to the right. I love the decor w/ a couple of horse & mariachi statues & authentic Mexican blankets hanging from the wall. We sat at the huge bar, in front of window by the 'Ceviche Station.'
Bartender Danny, Chef Jose & the whole crew were awesome. I ordered a large Margarita on ice w/ salt as the chips & dip arrived. I told them that I felt like something healthy & spicy w/ Pulpo (octopus). Chef Jose had me try three sauces, all of which were tasty. One had a Hawaiian bbq flare, one had a nice spice, but the lime & Tajin sauce was ultimately my fav. He made this fresh & amazing dish called the Botanas Mixta Fria, except w/ octopus only. He also made a small side dish of the Botanas Tropical. Perfect name for it too w/ the shrimp ceviche, mango & the Hawaiian spicy sauce. The ceviche comes w/ two tostadas wow! Ceviche is a cold seafood dish just in case you're looking for something hot, like mom was.
Mom had the Enchilada Verdes de Pollo w/ white rice, beans & three very filling shredded chicken enchiladas, covered in a tasty green tomatillo sauce. I ate half of an enchilada w/ hot sauce & it had enough sour cream so I didn't need to ask for a side of it. Perfect amount of everything in this enchilada. I am not a fan of shredded chicken, but this was the best.
The other bar guests order some yummy items too such as the Tamarindo Water, Mango Margarita & an oyster topped w/ shrimp ceviche. Both the cocktail list & food menu were spectacular. More than burritos, tacos, enchiladas & margaritas, there are so many unique seafood dishes w/ half-shelled oysters, mussels, crab & lobster, a beautiful pineapple & shrimp dish called a Piña Loca, along w/ oyster shooters & Michalada's. The Molcajetes are calling our name in the very near future lol steak, shrimp, chicken, chorizo or the Volcan w/ shrimp, crab, octopus & prawns! The presentation is one-of-a-kind & huge! One to four people sized dish w/ all of this wonderfulness in a large mortar.
I really hate to say it, but both the pulpo & enchiladas were better than my top two favorite Mexican spots, one located on the strip, Javier's at the Aria & our local fav Lindo's! Certain things like the chips w/ salsa & beans w/ Strip View are better at Lindo's, but that's nothing compared to the menu at La Mojarra Loca... whoa! I can't wait to come back for so much more.
I am not a fan of the location, far from my house, but for lunch I will be back. Also it's got that authentic feel & on the weekends they have the live mariachi. ¡Salud!
