Mexico - Food & Liquor, Surry Hills

By Foodisourreligion @food_religion
Zomg it is Christmas Eve!! Weeeeeee!! ANYWAYS I was so sad the day I heard the news about District Dining closing up, especially because I hadn't had the time to try it. SIGH... but that wasn't all the news. It wasn't as bad after all when I found out District Dining was going to be replaced by a Mexican restaurant. So eventually when the day came for its doors to opened, I did not wait another minute and rushed to check Mexico Food and Liquor ASAP. In a way, it was to make up for missing out on District Dining and the only way to make up for it is to eat ALL the tacos.

It isn't Mexican without tabasco

I had high expectations about their tacos. I mean it is a Mexican restaurant after all, if you can't do taco's then there is something seriously wrong. I used to be a fan of hard shell tacos but recently I had changed teams. One to two bites in that taco annnndd I must say they were pretty good. The mushrooms were so juicy, the pinenuts gave it a good contrast in texture and there was so much sauce, possibly a bit too much because it wouldn't stop dripping. Pretty good combo I'd thought.

Quesadillas - Achiote chicken - $12

The quesadillas had a generous serving of chicken but I thought it tasted pretty ordinary. It lacked flavor and salt but the salsa though does help it bring it back to life a little.

Chipotle lime ceviche - $14

The fried chicken was ordinary as well but sorry Mexico, I believe the Koreans have still won the war of the mighty fried chicken. The ceviche was refreshing and the sauce had a nice tangy taste which was exactly what I needed on a sweltering hot day. The ceviche was probably my favorite of the day.
Mexico appears to be a pretty cool place to hang but I think I am yet to find my favorite Mexican restaurant in Sydney. I would love to compare it to El Loco but sadly I cannot because I still have not been. Yes.. can you believe it!?!? The day shall come.. the day shall come *repeats to self*. Do you guys have a Mexican favourite? Would love to hear where you guys recommend!
