Tacos

3 hard tacos - MYR19.90 + 6% GST = MYR21.09 - crispy corn tortillas (thin flatbread) with Pico de Gallo (also known as Salsa Fresca - a salad made from raw tomato, onion, cilantro/coriander, lime juice), sour cream, lettuce fillings and we chose pan fried fish as the protein fillings. We also ordered a side of Guacamole (avocado dip) MYR3.50 (MYR3.71) to go with this. Instead of 3, one can buy 2 tacos for MYR14.50 (MYR15.37). Very crispy but the fish filling is too salty for us.

The above 3 tacos on a tray with a Pina Colada (cocktail made of rum, pineapple juice and cream of coconut - is cream of coconut = coconut milk?). All 4 of us shared this drink which costs MYR7.50+ (MYR7.95). I can only taste the pineapple juice and not the other two ingredients. 

A slow cooked beef burrito - MYR16.90+ (MYR17.91) - we took this home to eat as we were too full from eating the rest of the food. Nachos (crispy corn chips) with spicy chicken - MYR18.90+ (MYR20.60).

Quesidillas  - a grilled corn tortilla filled with cheese, Pico de Gallo and a choice of meat - we chose chipotle (smoked dried jalapeƱo) beef - MYR14.90+ (MYR15.79). The additional guacamole in a paper cup in the photo above is the side ordered with the 3 tacos.

Instructions for ordering - 1. select a base - burritos, burrito bowls, soft tacos, hard tacos, nachos or quesadillas.

2. Select a protein - chicken, beef or fish. We found the chicken and fish to be too salty for our liking so we will stick to the beef next time.

You like your sauce? There are medium, hot, extra hot sauces for your taking. There are also pickled jalapeno and chopped cilantro/coriander for you to add to your food.

The condiment and sauce self service counter

Total bill: MYR81.60 for 4 of us - no service charge

  1. Oh my!!! Things sure do not come cheap here! But will go and try...once, at least. My girl loves Mexican! But the tacos, the wraps (Old Paso or whatever, imported - Mission is cheap) are all so very expensive here. Can't get myself to buy - heart pain.

  5. This not authentic Mexican, but authentic Tex-Mex, or American Mexican food. I think all Mexican restaurants in Malaysia I've seen so far are really Tex-Mex restaurants. Mexico Mexican food don't have so much tacos/burritos/these wrappings, and for sure don't do so much cheese/cream drizzling with their food.

    1. You said Mexican food don't have so much tacos/burritos wraps, that means they still do. The Americans always zoom into the popular dishes and make them into big businesses.

    2. RG, are you sure? I have to ask my brother because he has stayed in Mexico for a month.

    3. I know Tacobell sells this kind of food and have watched TV where food trucks sell tacos.

      Delete
    4. Tacobell and food trucks = Americanized Mexican hahaha!

      I don't know a lot of authentic Mexican food also lah, but two that I know of are churros (deep fried batter, some coffee places here do that) and tamales (corn wrapped fillings)..

      Delete
    5. Some websites say that churros originated from Chinese youtiao! Tamales has a long history, tracing back to Maya and Aztec civilization. To me it seems similar to our bakchang except that the glutinous rice has been replaced by corn based dough and the fillings could be anything.

    6. I would agree that much food around the world today originated from China! They were just being modified over the hundreds of years after leaving China.
      I experienced eating many types of ethnic food in the rural Chinese villages where it convinced me that those villagers could no way copy those food from outside their country. Mostly were desserts, pastries and noodles.

  6. I knew it would just be a matter of time before you tried this since it's in Mid Valley! So, which one do you like the most?
