Because I was at a Mexican restaurant I had to have a margarita.
I left it to Jamie to decide which one I had. He chose Flor de Jamaica, which had el Jimador tequila, agave nectar, six barrel hibiscus soda, fresh lemon and lime with strawberry himalayan salt rim.
It was luscious with a good kick in its tale. While I was sipping on this, Jamie returned to the table with guacamole con Totopos served in a "volcanic holder all the way from Mexico".
The guacamole fresh avocado, tomato, onion, coriander & sesame seeds accompanied with corn chips was fresh, light and very moreish, as were the corn chips.
Then I tried the skillet cornbread served with chipotle aioli. It was served wrapped in paper all steaming hot with a mouth watering smell. It tasted as good as it smelt.
Next came the F.A.W.C! by 5 dish, the eight-inch quesadilla dinner. I couldn't get over the value. Honestly $10 for this dish is amazing, it's simple but tasty and satisfying. "We wanted to keep the dish simple and uncomplicated. It's great for kids as well," Jamie said.
I finished with a Flan de coco, - a creme caramel flan with coconut cream ... yummy.
All the dishes were well presented in simple ways.
Mexi Mama makes dining out affordable and fun. The food is fresh, tasty and satisfying.
