Edit
KL-lites convey e'er had a fondness of Tex-Mex items that nosotros are no longer strangers to tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas together with burritos (or what is described inwards this place's menu, a chip similar our local popiah).
Recently joining the crimp is Fresca Mexican Kitchen & Bar. It has the wages of prime number location, upwardly front end at the entrance to Gardens mall.
However, this is the sew to the around anticipated Mexican eating theatre volition travel La Mexicana that is slated to opened upwardly early on adjacent calendar month at The Terrace at Hock Choon. According to a petty birdie, that detail house is ain past times a Mexican lady together with hence hopefully she keeps things every bit genuine every bit possible.
The house is gorgeous together with during the daytime, the clear drinking glass windows allow the sunlight to pour through to play shadows on the rustic tiles.
Splashes of color such every bit a brilliant bluish tiled wall at 1 corner of the kitchen together with a colourful patterned tiled flooring jazz upwardly the otherwise nighttime bronze palette.
Seating choices are aplenty: minor cafe tables at the front end for you lot to picket passer-bys come inwards into the mall, banquet seats inwards the front, foursquare tables on the side together with teeny weeny tables for cosy dining for two.
The fix hither reminds me a petty of a Castilian tapas bar every bit they serve botanas, Mexican for minor plates that are bully for sharing. This is best shared amongst tequila together with a tall jug of icy cool margaritas.
For something to a greater extent than substantial, at that spot is platos principales, the top dog plates that is divided into tortilla based dishes such every bit enchiladas, fajitas, quesadillas together with burritos. Also included inwards this repertoire is traditional Mexican delicastessen choices.
Last but non to the lowest degree is postres or desserts to operate on whatever sugariness molar lover happy.
The kitchen is all the same like shooting fish in a barrel finding its ain pulse every bit around items seem to convey fared meliorate inwards an before see spell others immediately boast a marked improvement such every bit the Albondigas en chile chipotle (RM16) that is filled amongst less stringy minced meat to give it a softer together with to a greater extent than tender bite. Incidentally, those meatballs are only gorgeous amongst the aromatic love apple tree based sauce you lot swallow amongst the soft tortillas.
However, the Churros con chocolat (RM13) was a tad likewise crispy this fourth dimension round. Would convey been slightly meliorate if the churros had a softer center.
While nosotros hold back for the nutrient to arrive, it is Guacamole amongst chips (RM20). The mashed upwardly avocado is a lovely creamy consistency together with at that spot is enough to larn around for generous amounts to top your crispy nachos.
Small bites every bit nosotros institute out makes tummies quite total after a while. The sopes, a roadside snack is essentially similar a minor pizza amongst dissimilar toppings. Instead of a crispy base, it uses a soft dough that has higher pinched sides. Our Sopes de Salpicon (RM13) is generously topped amongst lettuce, roast beef shreds together with avocado. You drizzle the pico de gallo sauce on the side. It gives it a really mild boot to the Mexican street food.
The Enchilads Verdes (RM15) is stuffed amongst chicken shreds, baked amongst cheese together with served amongst a chip of the piquant pico de gallo sauce. It is a comforting dish. I honey the Tacos Alambre (RM18) every bit they role the softer corn tortillas to serve roast beef, poblano chiles together with crispy bacon.
For the top dog meal, I actually enjoyed the Pescado a la Veracruzana (RM39), the fish fillet served amongst an aromatic sauce of onions, olives together with Jalapeno chiles. The accompanying Mexican rice is aromatic amongst long fluffy grains together with is served amongst a mixed salad. This is said to travel a specialty from Veracruz, a Mexican coastal town.
Desserts is the Tequi-lime pie (RM15), a dense cheesecake based tart flavoured amongst a slight sourish tinge from precisely a hint of tequila together with lime. This is followed past times the crispy churros nosotros dip inwards chocolate sauce.
The house is to a greater extent than ideal for eating amongst a large grouping of people since ordering to a greater extent than varieties agency you lot destination upwardly hitting upwardly a large hole inwards the pocket. For those who prefer to operate on it safe, precisely gild the top dog meals that offset from RM26 onwards. In price of flavours, the Mexican spices seem a petty to a greater extent than subdued but it all the same makes pleasant dining particularly if you lot are looking for a overnice house to chill.
And if you lot are wondering, fresca agency fresh inwards Mexican.
