We just spent over 20 hours traveling, and after getting settled in our apartment, we ventured out…read moreto find somewhere to eat. We were staying in the Baixa-Chiado area and after getting a little lost, we found ourselves here. Of all places to eat, a Mexican restaurant...LOL! I live in San Diego, which has some of the best Mexican food on the planet considering it's close proximity to Mexico. We thought, why not, plus we were hungry.
We ordered the house margaritas which were very good and served straight up in martini glasses, different, but in a good way. We also had the guacamole which was more pureed with a fair amount of lime juice...pretty good! I wondered if they made their own chips, if they don't, they should and offer a little more since we ran out. However, I used the extra on my enchiladas.
I ordered the chicken enchiladas and the partner ordered the chicken flautas. When they came out, we wondered where the rice and beans were, which are a staple with most Mexican dishes. The presentation was great! And both were very good, although my enchiladas could've been a little hotter. We then ordered the chocolate brownie dusted with chili powder and the passion fruit mouse made with tequilla, and cappuccinos. Both desserts satisfied the sweet tooth. I loved the spicy with the sweet dark chocolate!
Overall, it was a very enjoyable dining experience. The staff was great! Even though we did not speak Portuguese, our cool waiter was friendly and spoke English well! It is a bit pricey from what I'm used to, but I would come back, especially for the other margaritas.
