Mexican food?

Hello, off to Goa in 6 days

, and was just wondering if there are any restaurants or shacks that do Mexican food? I mean just those chicken peices in a wrap with a lovely hot sauce topped with cheese mmm.

I do love my curries, and i tend to eat them for lunch as well

, but sometimes i would like a change.
I dont think my body could handle curry twice a day for 14 days.

thanks

Nicola

There used to be a Tex/Mex restaurant at the Daytrippers end of Holiday Street, Calangute, but that was 10 years ago and it only lasted 1 season - not seen anything since. Plenty of Italian, Chinese, Tibetan as well as upmarket steak houses so there's plenty of scope for non spicy dining

Re: Mexican food?

Went to one 3 years ago. It was in Baga/Arpora on the road running parallel to the river (before the bridge). The food wasn't great TBH. I'm had fajitas in a restaurant in baga, can't remember the name though :(. It was good. The chicken came on a sizzling hot plate and the other ingredients on a separate plate.
The spring rolls on from the beach shacks are very good. Not spicy but very filling. Veg or meat options are available.

Re: Mexican food?

There's a really nice Mexican restaurant in Palolem, it's called Casa Fiesta I think, food is good - chimichengas (possibly dodgy spelling) is my favourite or the deadly nachos - the cocktails are the best though as they're cheap enough to try all of them!

- Brandy Alexander is lovely!

Hope this helps

Re: Mexican food?

thanks very much Rob.

Is that down South?

I think we may have to take a trip down South.

How long does a taxi ride take from Calangute? Do you think it is too far for a day trip?

thanks

Re: Mexican food?

poipleshadow try the Brandy Alexander made with ice cream instead of cream its to die for, dont have any desert if you try it as its quiet filling. :cheers

Re: Mexican food?

It takes about 2 hours from Calangute (perhaps only 1 hour 45 mins...), it's best to stay there a night and get a cocohut for the night (allows you to drink a few more of those cocktails!!

It's far south, but a lovely beach and restaurant... Enjoy!

Re: Mexican food?

I'm pretty sure that Cuba @ Big Daddys in Candolim does Mexican Food, i know that their restaurant on Palolem beach does Mexican so I imagine that the candolim place does too. Also there was a place opened last year on the main candolim road (can't for the life of me remember the name), big bright place on the right as you go from calangute end....Chilly may know the name as I seem to remember her mentioning a visit with family. Pretty sure they do mexican too.
Have a great holiday YM, looking forward to your trip report.

Big Daddys does do Mexican not strictly authentic but very nice just the same, also Scar Face on the main Candolim road had Fajitas (spelling) on the menu we didnt try them but had a couple of very nice meals in their so would assume they would be quite good too.
