Mexican food in downtown Bergen? Sure, sounds fun! We were sold on the restaurant after chatting with the bartender outside about the menu. I will say it was very slow to receive drinks and food. So if you're in a real hurry it might not be a great place for you.
Decor is funky and amazing. We were seated next to a window filled with bones. The lighting was cool. It felt like you were in a bar in Mexico.
The menu is a mix of various Latin dishes and drinks. I went with a Brazilian drink that was so good that I ordered another. Not sure the alcohol was high but the taste with the juice was so refreshing. My dining partner tried a couple of beers and enjoyed them.
For food, I went with the Argentinian steak as they were out of the pork dish I wanted to try. It was so good. Seasoned great, huge with a ton of potatoes and creamy corn to go with it. The other dish was a veggie cheese pie. Hmm, just so so. The veggies were a bit bland and it didn't have much spice level until we pored on the available sauces at the table.
Prices were great too - you get a lot of food and there is a lot of choice on the menu.
It took awhile for them to give us the check, we finally went up to the bar to pay. As I said, it's a nice relaxing meal and not a fast food place so be prepared to have a bit of a wait and just enjoy your surroundings. read more
