Cali-Mex Taqueria (已結業)

如果吃飯來來去去的都是那幾間餐廳，或者同一的食物，也許都會幾悶的，偶爾吃一些較少吃到的菜式，都會有種新鮮感的。於是今晚走灣仔，吃一些平日甚少吃到的菜式，當中墨西哥菜便是其中一款吧。今晚不如來到灣仔的 Cali-Mex，縱使加入了加州的元素，一於體驗一下加州墨西哥的異國風情。而在下亦可感受一下墨西哥菜的滋味。餐廳分為地下及一樓兩層，地下層為食物出品處的廚房，內裡包括了製作墨西哥卷和其他菜式的材料，枱頭一望，就是落單的餐牌，有關墨西哥的食物一目瞭然，而廚房對出是一個小小的等候區，方便顧客外賣時，坐下來等候店員製作食物。扒上樓梯，就是餐廳的用餐區。牆上用上了幾幅圖畫作為裝飾，而且用上了鮮艷的橙色，餐枱也用上了色彩繽紛的顏色，非常悅目。Pulled Pork Burrito每一個捲都有一公斤重，把手捲分為兩半，各自都有五百克，故吃一半可算足夠的。而手捲［戈材料用上了黑豆，豬肉及用洋蒽、蕃茄和辣椒做的墨西哥或西班牙的調味辣汁，還有的是用上了飯作為捲餅的饀料。當中的捲餅柔靭適中，米飯柔糯而有點黏黐，豬肉亦不錯，吃下都是富咬口。Spinach Quesadilla這個 Quesadilla 很大和很

被門外的鮮橙色裝修吸引著而停下腳步，單看門外還以為是外賣店，誰知當我走上長長的樓梯後……發現原來樓上有寬敞的空間讓客人用餐。這兒獨家提供墨西哥汽水 Jarritos，口味包括番西榴、芒果、青檸、菠蘿和柑。我點了芒果味，可惜芒果味道不夠特出，朋友則說青檸味道蠻特別的。Spinach quesadilla 12吋熱騰騰的墨西哥Pizza，外表平平無奇，其實內藏菠菜，菠菜以蒜、紅洋葱、橄欖油炒過後，澆以白酒，再與半溶芝士混合，非常清新，有別於平日所食到以肉類為主的Pizza。Nachos with pulled pork粟米片入口香脆但不油膩，而且粟米味濃，上面配上如雪糕般軟綿清新的牛油果，而豬肉則用豬肩醃製24小時後，以蘋果木煙燻，澆以Chipotle辣椒燒烤醬，肉味濃郁，再配上新鮮爽口的蕃茄，整體味道帶點辣，非常惹味。Grilled chicken crispy shell salad外型如一個小花籃的沙律，其實是香脆的Tacos炸成的，入面有生菜、熟菠菜、sour cream、牛油果，把所有食材混合就是簡單清新的沙律，愛吃沙律的朋友不可錯過呀。Grilled Chicken Burri

Hong Kong has it's fair share of various cuisines. But Mexican has been one of those cuisines that have been sadly disappointing. Not only to me but all my friends who are from North America. There was always something we didn't like: portion size was too small, not enough cheese, not enough ANYTHING and on top of that just plain expensive. When a new Mexican place opens up, we try it out and decide ... not legit, extreme fail. So, when I saw that Cali-Mex was going to open, I was wary. Add to t

大抵有許多人未必明白什麼是"Road Trip"? 因為香港地方不算大，地鐵、巴士、小巴及渡海小輪已經能到達香港的每一處。但在外國如澳洲、美國和加拿大等，地方大之餘，每一個家庭至少有一部車，去鄰近的省份都會開車~ 因此取名為Road trip! 架駛在馬路上，其實也有許多樂趣!! Cali-Mex (California - Mexico) 理念就是來自於由北美到墨西哥的一次Road Trip。墨西哥的菜式，但美國的做法，二合為一，味道更為貼切香港人的口味。Burritos 是墨西哥卷，主要由有三種材料black beans(黑豆)、Guacamole (即是牛油果、海鹽及青檸和 Salsa Chipotle (墨西哥特有的辣醬)做成，還有肉類可供選擇!Grilled Chicken Burritos雞是來自澳洲，先用上橄欖油和青檸淹製48小時後，再烤。因此雞肉汁保存得很好，烤後仍沒有感到乾，烤味帶著濃郁的雞味，配合牛油果和辣醬，不錯呢!!Angus Steak Burritos安格斯牛是由澳洲運來，先以秘製醬汁淹製48小時，之後烤。用上安格斯牛，所以後容易咬開，由於是放在burrit

Saw on Cali-Mex's facebook that they were going to serve this Hong Kong style Roast duck burrito with whole USA Duck roasted to perfection sliced onto their homemade 12” tortilla served with Mexican rice, sliced cucumber, fine leek, fresh cabbage and a special fusion chipotle mayo hoisin sauce.When I ordered I was asked them if they did a bowl version and they must have thought I wanted a bowl version which is why it was not a burrito.The duck burrito bowl was good but the hoisin sauce in the mi

The first time I knew about Cali-Mex was when I passed by the outlet in Central when it was still under renovation and while I finally saw the opening of another branch in Wanchai, I went there to grab a quick lunch one day.  There aren't many Mexican joints in HK, let alone good ones so I was really looking forward to giving this place a try.  The branch in Wanchai is on Queen's Road East right next to Burger King and PP3 - quite conveniently located.  Ordering's at the front, and there're seat
