Will I come back: Yes.
Baja Cantina is cute family-style restaurant on the busy Glebe Point Road, with a beer garden at the back.
Large mixed dips (Guacamole, Queso Fundido, and choice of salsa), $20.
Bajas Famous Nachos (topped with refried beans, melted jack cheese, salsa, guacamole, sour cream and jalapenos), $12. It came out piping hot!
It was an overkill to order the large mixed plate and the nachos to share between just the six of us…but the corn chips were so irresistibly good!
We munched on the corn chips while listening to the lovely live harp performance by Mr Victor Valdes.
Baja Red Sangria, $17 (jug). Nice and refreshing, although not as fruity as we had expected.
Baja Salad, $12.
Baja Chipotle Prawns, $14. Fresh and full of flavours.
Quesadilla (crispy flour tortilla filled with cheese, fire-roasted chillies with your choice of meat, served with rice and beans), $19.90. The beans were delicious.
L asked for the shredded beef to be served on the side, and they did it for her.
The shredded beef that came with L’s Quesadilla. That’s quite a sizable serving.
Tacos (choice of flour or corn tortilla, served soft or crispy, topped with pica de gallo, cheese and salsa, with your choice of meat and served with rice and beans), $19.90.
Tamale (corn masa with a meat and salsa filling, steamed in corn husks and served with rice and beans), $23.90.
I regretted choosing the re-fried beans (mushed-up beans) when I saw this mushy weird mess…but I was relieved that it tasted much better than it looked.
It was my first time having Tamale, but for some reason it reminded me of something very familiar….And then I realised, it’s zongzi! How interesting, the Mexican version of zongzi wrapped in corn husks!
These lovely chaps and their cheerful Mexican music made my night! Ya ya ya ya *hums*
