灣仔★Verde MAR

有次經過見間餐廳望落好有特色就加左入to-eat-list，今晚特別日子就心旭旭黎依間特別既餐廳慶祝下

一黎到已經有老闆熱情既招待，記得上次我只係係門口望望下佢都好友善咁歡迎我得閒黎

室內環境好有異國風情，一室木傢俬配上泥黃色既牆身，天花板吊住一盞盞昏黃既小燈泡，成個感覺ｗａｒｍ到有ｄ熱，哈哈！

喜歡牆上既花紋牛仔帽同星型裝飾

連職員都清一色外國人，真係有一刻幻（妄）想自己去左旅行

作為慳妹，黎之前已經發現餐廳都有加入SodaCard，有免費nachos做迎新禮物。點知，黎到再發現原來會員有生日獎賞！

正日黎到竟然可以free任何一個main course

好驚喜既＂生日禮物＂呀

搵食時間

Nachos（small，迎新禮物 $0）：

★★★★★ ★★★★☆
粟米片卜卜卜卜卜，爆脆，不槐為賣飛佛

哈哈～就咁食就淡左d，不過點埋咸香十足既芝士再加埋辣辣地既墨西哥青辣椒就無得頂喇

唔係要留肚真係好想encore

（後來又開心大發現：happy hour黎飲野都會免費送比你食
）

Aqua chile snapper（$148+10%）：

Aqua chile snapper

★★★★★ ★☆☆☆☆
加左lime juice成碟野水汪汪賣相不如想像中吸引
貪得意揀左鯛魚刺身唔要生蝦。

Aqua chile snapper

其實都唔係好識食，只係覺得口感一般般，鮮味亦唔算突出。不過點埋d青瓜生洋蔥&靈魂辣青檸汁，真係好fresh又開胃

唔好講笑都幾辣下，食完要灌水（但又好刺激想繼續食

）

Tacos（$98+$10+10% ）：

★★★★★ ★★★★☆
食食下都係忍唔住追加番碟墨西哥捲餅
由左至右分別係咸香十足但肉質略為扎實既燉豬肉(carnitas pork)

Tacos (carnitas pork)

> 香口炸鰨魚手指(fried sole)🐟 > 要加十蚊既爽甜大蝦(shrimp)

不過d餡料都係其次，塊軟熟玉米餅同埋d配菜蕃茄粒牛油果醬先係重點

哈哈～Yummy！

Chargrilled cactus（$108+10%）：

Chargrilled cactus

★★★★★ ☆☆☆☆☆
雖然都無乜期望，但一場黎到點都要試下特色墨西哥直送仙人掌。味道因為面頭灑上既海鹽而咸咸地，口感就好似秋葵咁黏黏地，食唔慣整體感覺怪怪地
唔建議落青檸汁，加埋d酸味可能會更加影響食慾

哈哈哈～
不過呢“苦口良藥”，話晒佢都營養豐富，有大量維生素同礦物質嫁

（但……都係食一次夠啦…

）

Wet burrito supreme（原價$168，生日禮物$0）：

Wet burrito supreme

★★★★★ ★★★☆☆
嘩！唔怪之得叫supreme真係好巨型

而之所以叫“wet”burrito就因為面頭灑上秘制開胃蕃茄汁同埋邪惡既chedder & mozzarella cheese，夠晒重口味！
塊軟熟墨西哥薄餅除左包住各式各樣既配料，仲有幼長飯粒唔洗擔心食唔飽

餡料揀左grilled fish，不過味道都比d香料搶晒volt唔係好品嚐到～
食完依舊傢伙，真係既滿足又飽足

SOL mexican beer（原價$55，HH買一送一）：

SOL mexican beer

★★★★★ ★★★☆☆
（啤酒肚教落）肥仔野送啤酒是常識吧

！依枝墨西哥啤酒又幾易入口喎，加埋青檸汁更加清新解滯

話咁快就飲完一枝又一枝～

埋單$651-$168(bday offer)=$483/2ppl。
整體黎講真係好特別既晚上

非常享受餐廳既氣氛，服務態度又熱情，老闆好鬼識做

少有地品嚐到地道墨西哥美食，某d食物真係食唔慣，但overall都滿意，尤其鐘意d jalapeno

得閒黎happy hour飲番杯再食下nachos（重點）都好啵

第一次接觸墨西哥菜是幾年前一班同事替我搞的 bridal shower。當時選擇了灣仔駱克道那間墨西哥餐廳連酒吧, 無獨有偶那餐廳亦是跟當時的男友, 即現在的老公第一次約會喝東西的地方, 意義非常。那次接觸到了很多以牛油果, 豆蓉和salsa醬做主角的墨西哥菜式, 加上live band氣氛熾熱一流, 那頂墨西哥草帽還保留著呢。受利東街重建帶動, 附近一帶開設了不少有特色的餐廳, 其中一間位於大王東街, 大廚來自墨西哥, 吃正宗墨西哥菜的Verde MAR。沒有樂隊助興, 環境卻富有濃厚民族色彩, 打開一排趟摺玻璃門, 位處旺區, 對著寧靜的內街, 是促膝談心的好地方。對墨西哥菜認識未至於太深, 還是選上二人餐 ($298/one) 略略收窄選擇範圍, 而又不會錯過享受重點。餐單內還提供予vegetarian的選擇, 不過食肉獸當然是背道而馳。先來兩杯墨西哥街頭特色飲品。雖然未涉足過墨西哥, 未知於墨西哥是否很popular, 其實味道可口對辦便是了。Jamaica即是我們常喝的洛神花茶, 亦是女生們近年興起的健康飲品。深紅色是洛神花的特色, 含有天然果酸成份, 所以味帶微酸

第一次接觸墨西哥菜是幾年前一班同事替我搞的 bridal shower。當時選擇了灣仔駱克道那間墨西哥餐廳連酒吧, 無獨有偶那餐廳亦是跟當時的男友, 即現在的老公第一次約會喝東西的地方, 意義非常。那次接觸到了很多以牛油果, 豆蓉和salsa醬做主角的墨西哥菜式, 加上live band氣氛熾熱一流, 那頂墨西哥草帽還保留著呢。

受利東街重建帶動, 附近一帶開設了不少有特色的餐廳, 其中一間位於大王東街, 大廚來自墨西哥, 吃正宗墨西哥菜的Verde MAR。

沒有樂隊助興, 環境卻富有濃厚民族色彩, 打開一排趟摺玻璃門, 位處旺區, 對著寧靜的內街, 是促膝談心的好地方。

對墨西哥菜認識未至於太深, 還是選上二人餐 ($298/one) 略略收窄選擇範圍, 而又不會錯過享受重點。餐單內還提供予vegetarian的選擇, 不過食肉獸當然是背道而馳。

先來兩杯墨西哥街頭特色飲品。雖然未涉足過墨西哥, 未知於墨西哥是否很popular, 其實味道可口對辦便是了。

Jamaica/ Mexican chocolate

Jamaica
即是我們常喝的洛神花茶, 亦是女生們近年興起的健康飲品。深紅色是洛神花的特色, 含有天然果酸成份, 所以味帶微酸, 清爽開胃, 好飲! 酸後回甜的味道, 對尤其吃過濃味的菜式後, 一解油膩感覺, 清清味蕾。

Mexican chocolate
用上Abuelita這墨西哥朱古力品牌沖成的朱古力, 很香濃朱古力味, 入口也是甜甜的, 雖說有肉桂和香草, 但朱古力味帶強勁, 還是喝不出來。當人人奉行少糖少甜是健康理論時, 這杯朱古力顯然是邪惡。

先來一個墨西哥傳統小食 -

Tacos。
用墨西哥薄餅tortilla將餡料包卷著, 而餡料選擇了一雞一豬。

肉類混入了大量蕃茄, 芫荽, 洋蔥和牛油果等配料, 味道香濃得來又清新, 還帶有少許辣椒的刺激, 很有層次。墨西哥薄餅皮帶煙韌, 薄薄的又微暖, 好好味, 而且好飽肚。

雖然仙人掌是這家的點題之作, 始終過不了自己的心理關口, 所以其中一款小食加錢轉了另一墨西哥知名小食 -

Nachos。
同樣用上salsa醬, 芫荽, 洋蔥等配料, 加上mozzarella cheese, 牛油果蓉和sour cream, 紅白綠的顏色, 非常清新吸引。

多種醬料的混合, 味道沒有衝突, 還有絲絲的肉碎, 口感富有層次。脆片不是像薯片脆口那種, 亦不是戲院沾上暖烘烘的nachos cheese那種爽脆, 而是較為實實咬口的, 尚算不錯。或許是用上了mozzarella cheese 變得較為輕盈, 如果芝士改用濃味的車打芝士, 會更為迎合重口味的食客。

8oz Arrachera steak (+$98)
一大塊牛扒, 食肉獸最開心。

8oz Arrachera steak

很香濃牛肉味, 要了5成熟, 邊位偏熟但又不韌, 中間剛好又不會太生, 還保留烤過的味道痕跡, 很香口。配有牛油果醬, salsa醬和洋蔥, 再夾上墨西哥薄餅同食又另一番滋味。

上檯時已傳來陣陣非常香香草味, 確令人垂涎, 精緻的裝飾加上那彫花蕃茄, 賣相已很高分。

半隻雞的份量都已經好大隻又多肉, 燒雞肉燒得挺乾身, 每口都帶香草香, 亦不會燒到嚡身過火, 不錯。還配上一小兜墨西哥飯, 飯粒硬身, 粒粒挺身分明。

最後到甜品 -

Homemade churros
有點像西班牙的甜品- 炸油條。剛剛炸起熱辣辣, 外表香脆, 內裡柔軟, 很香肉桂味,還沾了粗糖粒於表面, 帶微微的甜香, 配以黑朱古力醬沾吃, 更加香甜。不過其實不用沾上朱古力醬已經很好味。

Flan
由蛋, 奶和custard做成, 再加一層薄薄的焦糖醬面, 是墨西哥的甜品, 賣相乍看似是日式的焦糖燉蛋布甸, 吃落不是那種日式甜蜜, 而是甜得來帶微甘, 各有各特色和美味, 布甸非常滑溜香濃, 好好味。估不到墨西哥菜也有這種令人回味的甜品!

外藉店長非常好客有禮, 跟食客有說有笑, 享受墨西哥美食之餘, 同時也享受親切的服務, 亦加深了對墨西哥菜的認識。

So Mr. Taco Truck closed and the chef there, Eligio Escobedo, and co-owner of Mr. TT, Vivian Wong, have this new operation, with a much slicker look in Wan Chai.

So Mr. Taco Truck closed and the chef there, Eligio Escobedo, and co-owner of Mr. TT, Vivian Wong, have this new operation, with a much slicker look in Wan Chai. I don't know if either of them is this meeligan25 whose sole activity on OpenRice seems to be showing up in the Mr. Taco Truck reviews, and now the reviews for this place, and insulting people who don't like the food. Anyway, I won't pull any punches. This place is only OK. It's basically Mr. Taco Truck but nicer looking.

I got an iced lime soda. It was pretty good. Nice and cold, reasonably sized, with not too much sugar. Recommended, if you're into this sort of thing.

One aspect I liked about the place was that they serve you free salsas-- 3 of them in fact. No free chips though. You just sort of have to stare at the salsa until your food comes, and then put it on if it's appropriate to what you ordered. Nevertheless, free is free, so thumb partially up. (But really? No chips?)

I'm a native Texan and I happen to know that nachos are a Tex-Mex dish, and that authentically they have cheddar cheese on them. I think this is the Oaxacan cheese on the menu, which is also frequently used in nachos, but personally I disprefer it. I say all this not to dis the nachos, which are fine, but to counter some of the silly and counterproductive discourse people tend to have about "Mexican food."

For example, on the "about' page for Verde Mar, designer Ricky Ho expresses his desire for "REAL Mexican food" and not "Americanize [sic] monstrosity." Well Ricky, some of the best Mexican cuisine is the Americanized stuff, and some of that stuff is on the menu here. Come over to the dark side.

Oh yeah, but I was saying! The nachos! Yeah, they're fine. Chips aren't store-bought, so that's good. There's salsa for the chips that got unlucky and got no toppings. There are plenty of things appropriate to super nachos here: beans, tomatoes, guac, and we got ours with steak. More on that in a moment.

I got three tacos: steak, al pastor, and carnitas. Here's some thoughts:

Steak: you pay extra to get the steak. I'm guessing the steak is the skirt steak, which is sold on the menu as steak arrachera carne asada. A lot of places do steak poorly-- Cali-Mex has especially chewy steak-- but here the meat is reasonably tender. I did think the taco was a little bit lacking in flavor. In my opinion, a steak taco is best accompanied by caramelized onions and bell peppers. None of the tacos were personalized to the choice of meat: each just had some pico, some guac, and some cotija cheese. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this taco, I just thought it a little plain.

Al pastor: the al pastor taco was the worst of the bunch, which is especially disappointing, as al pastor is the king of taco meats. While eating the taco it distinctly reminded me of some other really bad al pastor I had had, but I couldn't remember where. After researching a bit, now I realize it was Mr. Taco Truck, lol. Good al pastor is shaved off the crispy layer of pork on a rotating spit. This is not crispy or charred it's oddly mealy. My guess is that it's overtenderized by some pineapple marinade, but that's just an offhand guess. Not recommended.

Carnitas: the thing that's so good about carnitas is the decadence. The pork is slow cooked until tender and juicy and falling apart, then fried in lots of oil til crispy. Or just the first thing, at least here. The pork here had a good flavor, but my wife especially was saddened that it didn't have the crispy, oily goodness of the best carnitas. Still, I liked this taco best of the ones I got.

Wet Carnitas Burrito

My wife got the wet carnitas burrito, and it was relatively massive, but mostly consisted of rice, as you can verify from the picture. No one needs that much rice at one sitting. The burrito also had corn and peas in it. I'm a little uncertain as to what this is supposed to be. I mean, it's not like there's some recognizable authentic Mexican dish that's a giant tortilla filled with 80% rice. That much filler was just unnecessary. My wife's view is that she'd rather get a burrito at Cali Mex or Little Burro. They've got better sauce, comparably mediocre carnitas, and you can get more non-filler stuff inside.

I really had high expectations for this place going in. If there's one thing Ricky Ho knows, it's design. The place just looks like it's going to be good. (Cf. Mr. Taco Truck, which doesn't even sound like it's going to be good.) But in the end, the food shows up and you realize, it's just OK. It's Hong Kong Mexican food, but it's not the bottom of the barrel (*cough* El Gringo Loco *cough*). For the prices though, I think I'll stick to making tacos at home.
