[Calimex] All day breakfast Crispy bacon bowl

I love the breakfast bowls here so got the bacon one.

All day breakfast Crispy bacon bowl:

I love their bowls but the breakfast bowl is even better because it comes with fried egg or scrambled egg.
Since I have already tried the fried egg version, I got the scrambled egg which tastes really nice with the cheese.
For sauces, I tried the medium this time which is red in colour but not that spicy.
The bacon was good but not all of it was crispy and the rice was cold while the portion was small compared to other bowls that they serve for the same price.

Cali-Mex invades Causeway Bay

Little Burro used to be the only Mexican place in CWB but now there is Cali-Mex.
Spotted it earlier when they had bright boards around it.






Now they are open!


Tried the breakfast which was only served in the mornings before and now it is served ALL DAY! Hoooray!

All day breakfast Crispy bacon bowl:





I love their bowls but the breakfast bowl is even better because there are fried eggs.
The runny egg yolk with the guacamole and salsa tastes so amazing and beneath the sauces there is tasty Mexican rice and my favourite refried beans.
I also added extra spinach for $8 but it wasn't really necessary because the bacon was good enough as it was crispy and delicious but it would be great if the whole bacon was crispy.
Unfortunately, one of the new pressed juice flavours was sold out so I got a bottle of coke instead.

6th branch of Cali-Mex!!

I was on my way to Flaming Frango's when I was given a flyer for a free frozen Margarita.

This is the sixth branch of Cali-Mex with the seventh one of Luard Road!

There was already a crowd there but I managed to get one.



I chose the strawberry which was sweet with a hint of Tequila.

The plastic cocktail cup was really nice and had an illuminated handle so I kept it~~

Brunch at Americanos

Since my last visit, there are new breakfast items so I went here for brunch.

[b]Iced tea:[/b]

It was iced earl grey so I really liked it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
[b]Huevos Americanos:[/b]

The taco wraps were not soft enough but the runny egg yolk and delicious toppings made up for it and the bacon was the best because it was crispy and not too salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
[b]breakfast burrito:[/b]

The breakfast burrito was really tasty because it was loaded with cheese, egg, black beans and guacamole.

Mexican food from Quarry Bay to Central

Mr Taco Truck (Central)

This shop used to be a tiny joint in Quarry Bay but now it is a proper restaurant in Central with comfortable seating and more delicious items on the menu.

Mexican food is not just Chili con carne and tacos, there are so many different things, some with a Spanish touch which is why they speak Spanish too.

Quite alot of the food revolves using ingredients such as avocado, lime and tomatoes which are all my favourite because they make a refreshing combination.

Here was what we had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Quesadilla Supreme with Al Pastor Pork:

Quesadillas are my favourite because it is cheesey with delicious avocado and salsa filling.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Super Nachos with Chicken:

I am not fond of nachos but the nachos here were thin and crispy paired with appetizing salsa and guacamole.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Refried beans with nachos:

Although this was plain and simple, this was my favourite because refried beans are velvety and silky.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Grilled Fish Taco:

I loved these soft tacos with delicate fish and finely chopped salad on top.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mexican beef stew (Birria en caldo) $138:


Served with Lime, Onion, Cilantro, Flour Tortilla or White Rice.
This was my favourite because it tasted like a rich beef broth with delicious rice and cilantro in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken Mole (Mole con pollo):

I have always wanted to try this because the sauce is made with cocao which gives it an interesting taste yet it is not sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mexican Seafood paella $288:

As well as the chicken mole, this was another one of my favourites because the rice is cooked in prawn broth which gives it a strong seafood taste and they have also put baby squids for more flavour.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Grilled Adobo-Marinated Beef & Pork:

This was meat and more meat which is great for guys.
The pork was tender and well marinated.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mexican Corn Bread:

The corn bread here is different and the best compared to other ones I have tried because it is lovely and soft with an eggy taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Homemade Churro with Chocolate Dip:

The churros are freshly made so they have a crispy coating while it is soft on the inside.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mexican Banana split:

This does not taste like your regular banana because they are plantains which have a soft and mushy texture.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet crepes with homemade icecream:

I didn't try the crepe, but the sweetcorn icecream was amazing, there was so much sweetcorn in it.
The texture is different to normal icecream because there are flakes of ice in it that give it a special mouthfeel and taste.
Their icecream is so unique they should have a Mexican icecream parlour.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
For Christmas, they have various packages for the office or you can hold a party there because the upper floor is big enough for 22 people and 50 people for the whole restaurant.
Book early and to take advantage of discounts, please see other reviews for full details.

Dreamy Mexican lunch

Sauces:



★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Black pepper crusted Tuna salad:

To be honest, I don't think this was Mexican but it was just part of the lunch.
It tasted quite nice because the lime sauce was tangy and the pepper crusted tuna was good.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fresh corn tortilla chips with guajillo chili honeydew melon salsa:


I am not fond of tortilla chips but the honeydew melon salsa was surprisingly good because the sweetness to it was soothing and delicious with a hint of coriander.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
smoky beef brisket tortilla wrap:

The beef wrap was served with salad, chipotle aioli, cajun fries and red salsa.
It was a bit like pulled beef but it was too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
smoked salmon quesadilla:

smoked over applewood chips, garnished with guacamole, pico de gallo and sour cream.
The salmon quesadilla was gorgeous, smoky salmon in the middle with stringy cheese complemented by the gorgeous creamy guacamole.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chocolate cake:

Not Mexican but part of the lunch deal.
Quite a nice little piece of chocolate cake that was moist, soft and not too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

When the bill came, I was pleased that they have not included the compulsory charity donation because I would like to be informed first before any compulsory donation is made.
