At 8 and a half ago there were only two places available in the tiny parking lot of Taco Box, just before the door. Luckily it was not yet cornered by a "rag" extortionist, and that that in across the street there is one worthy of the streets of Palermo. If you go with the car and no place, I suggest you do so within the parking lot of Tren de la Costa, right in front. If it is also closed park only on the diagonal Andrés Ferreyra is a smooth and safe street. Not park on Rome. Upon arrival we opened the door a young girl who kindly offered us pass. There are two options: boxes and communal tables. Obviously we chose boxes, are really comfortable, we were 4 people at the table and we just half space. The lamp is at the right height so as not to disturb the view (and that I'm tall).
He approached another girl (the other is standing next to the door which Prussian soldier) and told us the order used by the house. Each table is a list approach food and drinks where the diner notes with a pencil a "tick" pointing out what desired. Same with the drinks. Obviously we ended up calling the girl I do not explain each option in the "menu" and made as if there were such listin with the stylus. The girl asked us our tastes and we recommend ordering a Taco Set, a snack and some nachos. Much did not understand and trust in his wisdom, but the Mexican restaurants are all the same, there are variations and differences, especially when we are in one serving Mexican food "American style", which is why it is Tex-Mex. Were asked to take 2 Caipiroskas and two still waters
No more laps and then ordering details quickly began to appear. I love the lighting, is what prevails, the yellow color of the lamps along the walls of bricks make a nice set, as the darkness in an Irish bar, the earthy colors highlighted by the table and chairs. The wine cabinets with generally dislike, but in this case are perfect. In addition, the lamp illuminating the box left to concentrate on ourselves and not in the other place, making us feel deprived and lonely. Noticeable golden tones of bronze and bottom bar with the kitchen create a nice mess. While it is a Mexican restaurant, I was having dinner at a nice dark English pub. While we were still waiting for food, note that the window gives a necessary space, while being friendly, it's like if the motion without the noise of the street accompanied (in some strange way) dinner. There were people there. Note that in the next table had ordered a Caesar salad, the same was presented with a circular shape, as if it had been prepared in a cake pan and let display a grilled skinless chicken breast. He looked very appetizing. I had volunteered myself to think about the flavors of the restaurant and see the good ventilation, which makes my dinner is much more noticeable, I prefer the lack of flavors that have a good steady flow of air. The table follows the American system of free plastic timber tablecloth with silverware wrapped in a thick cotton towel.
Suddenly two large translucent glass chalices appear in the table were the caipiroskas. They were really big ... and they were perfect, just like I like, or sweet and sour, with limes in abundance and good-tasting vodka. It is not easy to detect if a Caipiroska has good vodka as limes and sugar can hide a known (and dangerous) Petroff. Do not panic, I saw a Smirnoff in preparation.
Five minutes later the waitress appeared with a striking wooden tray covered by a very hot cast iron that held the tacos, it was the Taco Set. The girl was right, the tacos were dazzling. They were 6 in total meat and chicken, with cheese varieties (cheese felt, adler and some hard) and very tasty. Besides being generous, hard tortilla was very spicy, and can distinguish between it and the other ingredients. The meat was perfect, crispy chicken. There was also in carrots, tomatoes, lettuce and some other plant. The accompanying caipiroska wonders. The fact that the September Taco is something to repeat, I love, or happy, generous, light but at the same time charged place to eat after a long day in the middle of the week willing to "finger food." Botana followed with the same format of presentation, only smaller and with iron even hotter. It is like a variety of cheeses wrapped in masses of soft wheat, burritos and quesadillas inevitable. It is rather nice but very hard to stomach, not so striking in appearance and taste like Taco in September and less than you thought. I caught the attention they put into the half Botana maize (corn), gave him an interesting twist. The Nachos are really new, separate from the classic American concept and are to enjoy, with a choice of crunchy fried and baked. Acid cheese is amazing, the sauces too. The good thing about this meal is that you can eat and have a conversation in the middle, the food with hands ignores certain protocol.
To all this the caipiroskas began to take effect. I recommend caution with the drinks if they are to handle because caipiroskas were very rich, very large and very easy to take. Taco box also gives the option of making the drink stop, since it is in a place of transit from the capital to the suburbs.
finished eating just approached the girl and we instantly recall the dishes, leaving place to dwell and chat a while longer. At no time did we feel rushed or annoyed to leave the table, on the contrary, the comfort was something really intended for the home, encouraged to leave a generous tip, not simple but well attended, the food is very tasty with different tastes those of "homely" and finish giving the steering wheel before the big gulp swallowed. That if no cards. Definitely go back to Taco Box, if you know well that order is an option of $ 40 (or less) with drinks included.
Price? $ 148 among the four. Please note that we three dishes and two drinks between drinks, which are cheap if the quality and quantity anywhere else out double.
