Okay, so if there's one thing I know, it's Mexican food. And if there's one thing I have been longing for unrequitedly (is that a word? am I using it correctly?) since my arrival in the land of the vikings, it's also Mexican food.
Sure there's Taco Shop (texmex) and La Fiesta Mexicana (arguably also texmex) and a whole slew of other places that CALL themselves Mexican, but let's face it, aren't really, and moreover, are just bad, but actual Mexican food is something I had to abandon when I decided to move to Denmark. It became clear to me that mastering the Mexican flavor was something that came with years of exposure to Mexican culture, entire childhoods that were built around eating out at Mexican restaurants, and extensive travel around Real Mexico (ie: not resorts).
So when yelp community manager Emilie posted pictures of tacos on yelp a couple months ago, she was met with a little too much skepticism by yours truly.
REAL tacos?! In Denmark?! PLEASE.
This is no lie though. I would not lead my fellow taco-loving constituents astray on this one, scoutshonor. Real tacos now FINALLY exist in Denmark, and while I miss Fortunen (they changed names and food styles after never quite getting what they wanted out of Fortunen, and bleeding through four chefs before they finally just decided to quit on new nordic tapas and move full speed on over to central america), I couldn't be more delighted about the replacement, which I will visit over and over again, until I'm so burnt out on tacos I can't imagine putting another one in my mouth (aka: never).
One area where I feel like they could still make improvements is their guac(amole). It's not bad, but it's definitely not Mexican. Commendable effort though given the TERRIBLE quality of avocados available in Copenhagen. You gotta make do with what you got, I guess. They should also put Corona on the menu, even though we were met with a very valid reason for why it's not (they have Modelo, and it's just as good).
Pro-tip: never say no to tacos. Also, there is no such thing as too much ceviche. Just sayin'. read more
