The hidden little Mexican restaurant is running in Soho for quite a time since I notice it. Green, Red and Yellow is the three main colors of it, making the little corner still attractive to the Hongkong eaters passing by. It was during the peak dining time and Happy Friday night after work when I and my friend arrived in Soho, and we have totally no idea what's for the dinner. 

The one-side long window facing to the busy middle-level escalator and two standing table outside the entrance caught my eyes (don't know why...) and of course I'm always open to yummy Mexican cuisine for the faction to nachos and cheese. (Plus it belongs to the Dining Concepts Group, which give me good impression with the other restaurant they have, eg. Bistecca, Bouchon, Nahm) The menu is quite simple, not offering a lot of choices, but from taco salad to burrito; from beef to vegetarian; from wine to special margarita; plus a small DIY concept for the self-selected side dishes or fillings/toppings, it is a normal and generic dining place.



Chili Verde Chicken Taco Salad $58
with lettuce, cheese, beans, corn chips, salsa fresca & sour cream

Beef Gringo Nachos $82
with tortilla chips, cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, jalapenos, sour cream and cilantro

Two dishes actually are enough for two girls, with the rich cheese and vegetables per potion. I am failed to comment on the service and presentation, for the restaurant is considered as a super casual or even pre-dinner/catch-up place for me. (They must provide a lot of take-away/delivery service; ALL take-away bowls!)

Anyways, I like the Beef Nachos, which is thickly covered by the melted cheese and with the fresh cut potato and onion chops, and olive circles, it didn't taste very heavy but it was very sticky and cheesy! Tortilla chips underneath were amazingly crispy in the middle-thickness and large-size. Even to take the chips alone, I was satisfied by the baked corn flour smell. Enough cheese, crispy chips and all fresh vegetable ingredients, make this normal dish impressive to me.

The shredded chicken breast salad with the mild green chili salsa sauce was not rich in taste. Comparing to the texture, I would recommend beef more than chicken breast, coz they are using the real chicken breast (which means always a bit dry and not tasty...), while the beef is chewy and less dryer.

Margarita Frozen $55

Mango Margarita $62

Mexican food night, how can you miss a glass of frozen Margarita?! Mine was mango flavor which was still fresh and not too sweet as I imagine. Of course, you cannot expect the real alcohol-alcohol scent in this with-dinner drink, but I do think, it would be a good idea to have one or two Margarita in this humid hot weather :)



* Average $145 per person within 10% service charge.
