The Mexican food that I had before was Chili con carne and food from Agave, both were good and this place is conveniently located near the MTR so I decided to give it a visit.
Yo Bago is also in Quarry Bay, but you have to walk slightly further, so its still on my visit list.
Anyway, weather conditions that day were not that good, it was raining and slightly windy, which made it a bit difficult for finger food despite we were under a shelter already. But more preferable to eat there now than in the scorching summer. Although if it was hotter and there were people nearby playing the guitar it would probably feel like Mexico.
The décor was really good, like the taco trucks in the US, there was a Mexican hat and a colourful paper horse on the ceiling.
Ordered two tacos, grilled fish and the fried fish one, both with flour wraps, chicken sopes, and a burrito with beef.
All of them came with chili sauce except the Sope, which came with tomato sauce.
For drinks, ordered the horchata.
The tacos were really good, the wrap was thin and chewy, I preferred it slightly tougher so it wouldn’t break when I ate it. The grilled fish was moist compared to the fried fish, however I liked the fried fish more, it was nicely fried, and the oil was fresh, and there was some crunch to it like light tempura.
The chili sauce they provided was excellent, not the typical chili sauce you find in hong kong, but a watery one made, same as this excellent chili sauce I had at PFC in UK.
As well as chili, there was lemon, so the taste was tangy and hot.
The chicken sope was a bit different to what I was expecting, because the dough was meant to be soaked in lime, but I couldn’t taste any lime at all. It was slightly messy eating it too, but still good, this came with watery tomato sauce too.
Finally the burrito was nice and filling too, and was perfected by the sauces too.
The Horchata was astonishingly good, as well as the taste, it brought back the taste of some baby food I had before. The taste was slightly starchy, with hints of wheat, and then cinnamon.
It would be great if they had more seafood such as prawns, octopus tentacles, calamari's that would go nicely with their chili and lemon.
