Greetings my fellow OpenRicers!

I frequented Verde Mar on the terminating weekend of the month of April. The festivity began with a splash of Mexican Chocolate, with a tinge of cinnamon royale. Truly a once in a lifetime experience that transported me to Latin America.

Next up, the Super Nachos, which were pertinent to their name - superbly crisp and flavoursome. They were lopped with viridescent guacamole and homemade chorizo, the type my grammy would make for me when I was a wee lad.

Intrigued by the Agua Chile Fish, I took a quick bite. The tanginess of the spiked lime juice practically waltzed gracefully with the sashimi grade fish in my mouth, forming a symphonic blend of spices and seafood.

I then had a burrito bowl with hanger steak, which was tender, refined, and perfectly filling. As suggested by another OpenRicer, I also ate the Carne Asada. Golly, the steak was so fresh I could practically hear the mooing as I chowed down!

To finish, I had a good ol’ banana split 🍌 Which was mega yummy and I had the spiciest 🐔 habanero chicken wings 🐣. Yum yum! Thank you to the chefs and waiters!!!

Also they have great music 🎶🎵 I started dancing in my seat to Mambo No 5 💃🕺 They even looped the song because I loved it so much yay!

After the Wanchai restaurant closed because of the increasing rent, I was elated to find out that Verde Mar was finally reopening in Sai Ying Pun!

We ordered and the drinks were quickly served - two cold Mexican Chocolates. They’re delectably sweet, with a nice tang of cinnamon in the mix.

Then came our Super Nachos! We chose to order it with their homemade pork chorizo. The nachos were crisp and warm, so you could tell the dish was freshly made.

Our burrito bowl was next, “Burrito Bowl Supreme”, as it was titled on the menu. We upgraded to hanger steak and of course, it absolutely delivered. A classic Mexican dish that has cemented itself as a staple order every time I visit Verde Mar.

We decided to try something new with the Steak Arrachera carne asada, supplemented with (as recommended by the menu) 3 nicely toasted tortillas. We asked for medium, and the owner served us the dish and asked us to give it a cut to make sure it was cooked to our liking. The steak was visibly low in fat content but surprisingly juicy and tender. The tortillas disappeared as fast as they came, wrapping up the slices of steak along with the various garnishes we were presented with on the dish.

Last but not least, dessert! The Mexican Rice Pudding was scrumptious, not too sweet, dusted with some cinnamon and topped with a few raisins.

The restaurant is quite a hike from the MTR but I’m glad we made the trek. Looking forward to coming back for some homely Mexican food again!
