| - Who doesn't love a good flavourful Mexican dish once in a while? I know if I have to make a quick dinner it's always something easy like tacos or fajitas. The best part is, for singles like me, the leftovers are just as good.
Mexican food was always a quick fix to me; there is not much to it and it's inexpensive to make. But there is a whole side of Mexican food I was completely oblivious to before my experience at Made In Mexico.
First of all, going on a Friday night, meant about a 20 minute wait but we were determined to try this place. It's like the coolest place in Newmarket!
From the outside it seems like just a regular diner, but once you get inside it has a completely different atmosphere. I was amazed it has a Mexican-theme without being tacky. We all know most places that serve this type of food over-do decorations, including but not limited to; plastic palm trees, drink umbrellas, patio lanterns and sombreros...really!?
One of the best things I witnessed was that most people in the restaurant were drinking frozen mixed drinks. Even the dudes! Gotta be honest, I was impressed. If you ordered something other than you were the minority. So of course I landed on a mango daiquiri and the BF got a blue margarita.
As for ordering it took me a while to decide. I was torn between so many things. The menu had a great variety without being too extensive. Finally we decided on the steak burrito and the fish tacos with a side of Mexican-style rice and re-fried beans.
I was amazed by the amount of food. We split both of the meals, as always, and it was so much that I didn't finish. For me, that's crazy! Like I said before, if it's in front of me, I'll eat it.
The fish tacos were amazing. I've had them elsewhere but these fish tacos definitely take the cake. The fish was not overly battered, it was crispy and light, and for once they came with more fish than taco shell. They came with coleslaw inside that had a Mexican-flare and the refried beans were not pasty. The burrito was packed full of meat. I can say I have never seen a burrito this size. The steak was cooked well, with nice spice and had the texture of pulled pork.
I can honestly say that I think about these fish tacos daily. I cannot wait until I can go back, cause I'm gonna order the same thing.
Promise me that you will skip Taco Bell, taco kits and the "Mexican-food" isle at the grocery store and just head to Made In Mexico instead. It's like a mini vacation, but cheaper and with way better food.
Enjoy!
