Today I went to Xalapa. Normally I am too lazy to write any comments for restaurants. But this one suprises me with its price-quality so much so that I feel having the duty to do so.
First, the environment is nothing less than the Mexico restaurants I went in the US, with typical Mexican characteristics. It's cozy, warm and homelike. As inviting as the environmnt is the staff. I felt received like real guests. Their boss even came me my table, started a conversation with me.
I ordered Tacos al pastor (49), The tamale (40) and Horchata (30) because I saw the pics above are very attractive.
Tocas al pastor has marinated meat, coriander, onions and pineapple in it. The meat is tasty and succulent, sweetness of pineapple merged with it and the vegetable perfectly.
The tamale looks like Chinese 粽子 big rice dumplings that has the shape of pyramid. After I remove the leaves, I was taken away by the aroma of it. The red marinated meat in it is tender, juicy and beautiful.
Horchata tasts stronger and thicker than milk.
I went to many Mexican restaurants in Beijing. But no one can beat the taste of its food, much less its price.
The staff told me that Xalapa was opened in November. In a matter of just one month, I have seen many customers in it. I hope its business can sustain and thrive so being a Mexican food lover, I can go there very often.
