Beef nachos
Chicken and chorizo enchiladas with Mexican rice, sour cream and frijoles
I have certainly developed a soft spot for Mexican food. When eating out, I find that Italian is a regularly consulted option. However, the last two Friday nights have seen me eating Mexican food, and I continue to crave it.
The pictured meals were served by the wonderfully friendly team at Montezuma's in Crow's Nest. The atmosphere at this joint was warm and inviting and seemed to appeal largely to families or big groups (it really reminded me of the Hog's Breath chain).
I ordered the enchiladas, which certainly fulfilled my expectations of the popular Mexican dish: copious amounts of cheese, crispy corn tortillas, marinated meat (in this case spicy chorizo and chicken) and a generous dollop of sour cream. The accompanying fried rice was crisp and bursting with flavour, and the frijoles, although perhaps unpleasing to the eye, were a well-matched and tasty side. My friend ordered the nachos. I personally must say that they did not look appetising at all and could easily be made at home.
In terms of service, Montezuma's delivers what they promise on their website: hyper friendly wait staff. Our overall experience was positive, but the Mexican experience was outdone on the following Friday (post to come).
