The Mexican is a diamond in the rough: a friendly and service-conscious restaurant on the Granville Strip not usually associated with quality or style. Authentic to the core, they offer classic margaritas and Mexican margaritas – made with fresh fruit puree – to accompany an extensive menu of quick snacks or filling meals.
The red wine sangria packs a fruity punch at this cheap and cheerful Mexican joint on Granville Street. The décor might be simple, but the ambiance is in keeping with an authentic cantina –customers are loud and lively and you’re likely to learn a few Spanish phrases from the friendly wait staff. Sangria de Cortez ($6.75 for a glass or $18 for a pitcher) is made with red wine, specialty liqueurs and topped with fresh fruit. The refreshing drink pairs well with house made dishes like chorizo quesadillas and traditional tacos al pastor stuffed with grilled pork and adobo sauce.
It doesn’t get much more authentic than this little hole in the wall on Granville Street downtown. Freshly made tortillas, a variety of fresh salsas and all the classics you love are rounded out by their house specials, traditional Mexican dishes not often seen in this city. Think: crispy fried cactus leaves and sweet soothing horchata. The level of service, the quality ingredients, the authenticity of the food and the incredible prices will make you think you’re in some small Mexican village.
