A general belief is that Mexican cuisine is very similar
to Indian and hence lacks the wow factor which must be why most Mexican joints don’t do well in
the city. It’s a pity because something about this weather makes me crave enchiladas
and a dearth of options in the
millennium city made me hop into cab despite the cash crunch ( demonetization
you know) and go all the way to Delhi. Located in the Asiad village complex Arriba Mexican Grill and Tequileria place
is cozy-candle lights, flowers, vibrant coloured cushions, everything is easy going, laidback and welcoming about this
place. What struck me was the intent to bring an element of nature into the ambience which
is through trees, greens and fresh flowers all of which melts your stress away.
Back to food which kept on coming that night. What better
way to embark on our Mexican fiesta than with some salsa and chips .Aptly named
Salsa and Guacamole Carnivale, this
one combines fresh Tortilla crisps with 5 different kinds of salsa each amazing
in it’s own right but the charred tomatoes and the mango better than the rest.
Infact they were so good that I wish it was packaged and sold , I would
definitely be a loyal customer. If that
wasn’t enough the guacamole also is not the regular readymade stuff but
prepared with fresh ingredients and definitely impressed.
I love salads and the skinny taco salad is also
good for skin so double whammy here. This layered salad arrives in a mason jar combining,
corn,iceberg lettuce , avocado and taco crisps all coming together in a
delicious combination of flavours and textures. Still wondering about the
skinny part , it’s because avocado is good for skin.
I still had appetite saved for main course and started
off with Tacos which were filled
with cheese and refried beans , seasoned just right. Veg Burritos is served with
a side of soup and is a very satiating affair. Now for my favourite Mexican
delicacy , Enchiladas which was
stuffed with spinach , corn and of course some cheddar cheese. It was drizzled
with a piquant chilli pepper sauce that
makes me crave some right now.
If you thought this was enough to keep me away from
dessert well you are wrong. I opted for the Tequila lime cheesecake with some avaocado cream , the tequila and lime combination never
fails hence this dessert is highly recommended.
Now that you are done reading it ,make your way to Arriba
because this is the season for warm Mexican flavours served on wooden tables in
a cosy candlelit setting .
