Guacamoles

I have been called an impatient man.

I have been called an angry man.

I have been called a impudent man.

People are right.

So when I have to wait 1 hour for my food, it better be good.  Otherwise the world will see a thoroughly sarcastic and caustic man.

This is Guacamole.  A bustling kitchen store in Peckhem indoor market.

3 hot sauces.  Which arrived after about 1 hour.  Ranging in taste from hot to hotter and hottest.  Still had to wait another 10 minutes for the food so I did consider just shoveling a mouthful in but I knew I would regret this so I refrained.

Pork taco.  Not that much to look at.  Rather more to taste.  The pork was succulent and delicate set off with smooth guacamole and a pinch of lime on smooth corn tortilla.  Fulsome and meaty it brought me back to my travels in Mexico.  After the first bite I was raring for more.

Prawn taco.  However, the next dish outdid the previous.  Succulent and juicy prawns coated in crispy batter offset with sharp onion, lime and guacamole.  Excellent with a hint of fire from the chili sauces..

Chicken and cheese quesadilla.  While chicken might pale in comparison to pork and prawn that we had before, this cheesy quesadilla showed that the right cheese could lift up a meal.  With a crunchy corn coating this was rather moreish, something that I would have happily had more of but I didn’t have another hour to wait…

I really enjoyed my trip to Mexico.  There was the sights, the birds and the food.  Oh the food.  Now that it is halfway round the world, I’ll settle for the food instead.  Although at triple the price.  So maybe this little stall  is a calling card for me to return.

A warning was waiting for us as we left though.  That colourful skull is what happened if you don’t fill up with other things before you come here.  Apparently some wannabe diners didn’t quite make it.

A quiet eating 8.5/10.

Lunch (1 course equivalent) was GBP 17 per person excluding drinks and service.
