Burritos, enchiladas and magaritas...

These Mexican stuff seems to be my recent craze lately, so you unfortunate readers will have little choice but to bear with it since this is my blog. Hahaha! No, really, I do dig the food here and it's really quite funny how little of them I've had until recently, which pretty much started from that night at Cha Cha Cha. Now that I'm pretty enamored with Café Iguana, I've decided that doing a late Sunday lunch at this place might be in order since it would be probably the only time, I get to look at everything that I'm eating in clear daylight. At Clark Quay, serving tasty food at very reasonable prices in decent portions means that people will just come back, again and again. You can bet everything, including your bottoms, that this will not be my last time. Back to the main deal, it's a lunch that I'm doing with my brother, so we wisely stuck to a single order of a starters of an ancho dusted calamari, along with a shredded steak burrito and tuna enchiladas.

calamari

These are just regular fried calamari, which are good for bites while waiting for the rest of the food to arrive since they are appetizers, but these arrived really just shortly before the rest of the mains did. The calamari here have a soft/soggy batter coating. The ancho dusting is probably a really like dusting of the spice, so I didn't quite get the taste. The base of the plate comes with a stronger tasting, saltish and garlicky sauce of sorts which turns out to be quite good for the calarmari.

burritos

I didn't think that burritos were so large, but here's one. The commonly used word to describe this would be, hearty. And truly it is. The insides are basically filled with the choice of meat from the order, and more of the black beans and cilantro rice. I think this place will probably mark the beginnings of me not rejecting those vile herbs since the flavor of the cilantro here is fairly mild and bearable. In fact, I'm starting to find it quite acceptable in the food, but I suspect that this place will probably be one of the rare few that I'll eat them and not complain. The salsa-ish mix of cheese, chopped tomatoes and onions do their bit in appetizing the roll and breaking the monotony of the taste of the wrap. All in all, it was good and as I mentioned earlier, hearty.

tuna enchiladas

The last time I had enchiladas, the skin was softer. This time round, I definitely see more crisp and it does look a little like prata. So more black beans and rice which I'm definitely not complaining about at this point of time. There's the saltish fried black tuna wrapped in the tortilla skins and topped with melted cheese and the tomato/onion things. Pretty damn good and I must say that I like this.
