Mexican House

Mexican House (formerly Let’s Taco Colombo) re-launched in September 2018 with a delightful menu offering a wide variety of Mexican fusion street food.

Ambience

Colourful paintings depicting vibrant Mexico adorn the feature wall of the indoor area of the restaurant while the outdoor area gives you the feel that you are actually eating by the side of the road. The relaxed atmosphere coupled with the tasty food makes

Mexican House a pretty decent spot to appease those Mexican food cravings.

Drinks

The two drinks we had that of the Green Lemonade (Rs 350) and

Zingy Orange (Rs 350) were equally delicious. The former was made with a combinatio­n of zesty lime and refreshing mint while the latter had a base of fresh orange and a hint of ginger and topped with soda.

Starter

The Loaded Nachos with Beef (Rs 800) were the pick of our starters. It was the perfect combinatio­n of crunchy nachos with beef, sour cream and guacamole topped with cilantro, tomato and capsicum. It is quite filling for a starter and can be shared between two (depending on your level of hunger of course!)

Another delicious option among the starters is their Chicken Quesadilla (Rs 720). This four piece dish is stuffed with juicy, well seasoned chicken and oodles of cheese. The sour cream and cilantro on top along

with the delicious salsa and salad complement­ed this scrumptiou­s treat.

We also opted for the Cheesy Fries

(Rs 700). This dish comes in three options but we went with the plain one which comes topped gooey cheese, tomato and capsicum.

Mains

The starters alone left us quite full but we had to try out their Spicy Kochchi Chicken Taco (Rs 890). This dish comes with two regular soft tacos, a side of nachos and salsa and the star of the dish is the fiery chicken while the beans, sour cream and the usual toppings make for a flavour packed dish. We also felt this dish along with a starter is total value for money.

If you love your beef like I do, I’d say opt for the Grilled Beef Tacos (Rs 600) which comes under the ‘3 Mini Tacos’ option in the menu.

What we recommend

Loaded Nachos with Beef, Kochchi Chicken Taco and Grilled Beef Tacos.

Would we go again?

Yes
