As part of research trip for work we popped in to try and find out what is the real taste of Mexico, we had already had lunch so just went for drinks and a couple of snacks whilst we brainstormed ideas.
We started with nachos with salsa and guacamole, both tasted really fresh but the salsa just seemed to be chopped tomatoes and herbs which was delicious but wasn't enough to take away from the dryness of the nachos which were crunchy and slightly puffed (a good thing).
We went then went for three seared steak tacos, the melt in your mouth meat was served on soft, circular and tiny tortillas then topped off with a spicy salsa (called salsa picante) which was just the right level of heat.
We also tried a tuna tostadita, this was served on a crunchy tortilla base and the tuna was lightly seared so still very pink inside and cut into chunks and topped with chipotle, avocado and jalapeno - again the amount of spice was spot on as it enhanced the flavours further.
I really want to return and try more things on the menu, especially as they are opening a cerviche bar soon, the dishes we tried were light, fresh and delicious. It was a little bit like Wahaca in terms of food but felt slightly posher and still really welcoming - the decor was really cool, with black and white tiled floors, walls with Mexican gig and events posted up and cool booth style seating.
Plus I really want to go back for the cocktails, I think it was a spiced daiquiri made with rum, a warming taste to go with the heat of the food.
