| - What better way is there to kickoff the weekend than a trip to Made in Mexico, Newmarket.
Since it was a Friday night, I knew there'll be a wait. Arriving at 6pm I thought I'll beat the rush but nope, still a 40 minute wait. The place was packed already, even the bar had no seats. Regardless, we waited and knew it was the right place to be on a Friday night.
Jammin' with loud Mexican music, feelin' the whole restaurant was like one big party, and a friggin' awesome Mango Margarita Bulldog.
To start, we ordered their Chip & Dip (Pico de Gallo). The chips, were OH-EM-GEE. You're probably asking how special can chips be? MAde in house, REAL corn chips, that taste like corn--none of that flour tortilla chips in a bag deal. Their pico de gallo was nice and fresh, but nothing special on my palates.
Next up, Chicken Chimichanga, a big fat burrito stuffed with shredded chicken, beans, rice and a cheese sauce, deep fried then smothered in sour cream and more cheese. This was heavenly good. Not greasy at all and perfect balance of flavours. Served with a side of Cilantro Lime Rice and Frijole Charros soup--homemade white bean soup. The soup was nice and hearty, filled with lots of spices, it was just totally ROCKIN'.
Last but not least Steak Fajita. Tender beef seared up with onions, peppers and cheese served with 6 corn tortillas. Authentic corn tortillas with tender beef equals an explosion in your mouth! The real deal here, just like what you'll get down south.
Only half the Chimichanga and half the fajita was finished, so stuffed that I couldn't even order the Chocoflan (which I REALLY wanted to try).
There were a couple of birthday celebrations happening while we were there. LOUDER music, HUGE sombreros for the party and all the staff join in to sing a mexican song. It was a lot of fun to watch.
Definitely a MUST TRY but if you want to make reservations, do so 1-2 weeks in advance as they only have limited # of tables purposely for RVSPers. LUCKILY, their opening up a BIGGER location just across the street and it'll be ready by mid/end of April.
All WOWS and only 4 star you ask? Our server was lacking a little, not too friendly and didn't really provide top-notch service. Still won't stop me from going back!
