I had a really hard time trying to find Brickhouse. Literally wandering around the corner with google map opened knowing I was in the right area, but just not seeing it was hugely frustrating. Until I looked up some other reviews did I realise it was hidden inside an alley obscured by a man selling bags on the wall...The restaurant is really dark, rough and unpolished, but the vibe is quite funky which I suppose is quite suitable for Mexican food.The watermelon salad was something I really wante
The restaurant is really dark, rough and unpolished, but the vibe is quite funky which I suppose is quite suitable for Mexican food.The watermelon salad was something I really wanted to try and judging by the many plates prepared in front of me it was something that was quite popular. I also wanted to try their tacos which is written on the wall, they have a platter of all the flavours, but you can also order them separately. Asking for recommendations on which one to have, the server suggested the rib-eye and pulled pork.
The salad arrived first, 16 cubes of juicy watermelon scattered with feta cheese, candid pepitas and drizzled with chili syrup. The sweetness of the watermelon coupled with the tart feta was a little strange at first, but the flavours really grew on me and the pepitas were addictive with a lovely roasted flavour.
The corn tortillas for the tacos are freshly griddled so you do need to be patient for your tacos. The rib-eye was tender with a layer of cheese on top, so it was sort of like a philly cheesesteak, but Mexican style. The amount of pulled pork on my other taco was generous, laid on a bed of corn salsa and topped with a single slice of avocado, it was filling, but I could not really taste any strong flavours from it.
Service was prompt and surprisingly attentive. The whole experience was quite interesting, but need to come back for other dishes.
