good, plenty of potential as well
Sammy Sosa isn't an easy to place to get to if you live in South Bombay. Had a meeting that end and was able to make it for a late lunch.
The place is small but fairly bright, they seem to have the Mexican kitsch down pat. Seating is tight but comfortable and the whole place has a young vibe.
They dont have a liquor license but they could teach a thing or two about how a Margarita is made to just about any bartender in the city (FROZEN is where its at) just wish they were bigger.
The food is good, part authentic part Indian and part fusion. We got the nachos and the potato skins. Both were okay, not exactly tex-mex all the way but strong dishes nonetheless. Nachos should have been soft tortilla rather than chips based.
The main course was the enchilada which was excellent, i wish they could do up some mexican rice and refried beans on the side which would complete the platter. The other dish was the verdura verde, not bad but too much going on.
The dessert was not very mexican, honey and pistachio crepes. Top notch.
They said part of their problems is sourcing the avocados for the guacamole which in some cases they have to avoid serving if its not up to the mark. Similar issues with sourcing the right kind of beans and peppers. They do use Monterrey Jack cheese.
Overall the service was quick, the food was good and they are a young lot making a serious effort. hopefully things will get even stronger.
Plenty more things to try, hopefully i can swing another meeting in Andheri!
