A Mexican restaurant, originally named "El Mexicanito" I went to today and I have to say I was full of ecstasy! (don't worry not the drug) I was searching up 1 and a half years ago Mexican restaurants, since I wanted to reconnect with my fellow half and because I was obviously craving tacos like usual. I stumbled across this place out of the others, we don't mention the other one🙊, and I was quite surprised because it wasn't tex-mex and it actually looked decent for a Mexican restaurant... I dug in a little bit and found their menu, which really shocked me because, they had the original platos that we would have in Mexico. That's when I decided. I had to go. Unfortunately it took me this long to get there, but that's besides the point. My mum and I went on a Sunday and the owners were very very welcoming and it really felt like home for me when I entered. The restaurant was decorated with vibrant Mexican colors and the walls had native tapestries and sombreros. At the front there was a bar and 2 glass cases filled with Mexican dulces and staple ingredients. At the back there was the kitchen, the tortillero and a big space filled with seating places. We were seated at the back and looked at he menu which had to be scanned because of corona measures. It was the same menu on the website if you want to check it out! I chose the tostadas de tinga and one quesadilla of each, and my mum had the enchiladas with salsa verde. For the drinks, we chose a guava juice and a tamarind one.
The meal was very comforting and delicious and everything was presented perfectly.
For dessert, I had the crèpe with tamarind jam and it was super good. Overall, I'm definitely coming back here whenever I'm available since it's close to my community. The people there were so friendly and communicative and I had a great time. I will put the website and address down below if you wish to visit this magical place:)
The restaurant is very near Porte de Namur,
and the address is Rue Saint-Boniface 29, 1050 Ixelles.
This is their website!
