Plenty of choice and dishes you won’t get anywhere else
in December last year, attracting long queues for their Mexican food. Plenty of customisation is available, with the options chalked up on blackboards. You choose your base – tacos, burrito, tortas and volcanes ; choose a filling – beef, chicken, al pastor etc; and order at the counter. It’s a small room with one round table, a few stools at the shelf along the side, and a few outdoor tables. You can also eat in Cleary’s pub if you buy a drink. Deliveroo is also available.
The owners are a Mexican couple. Jose Guadalupe Zamudio , from Celaya in the state of Guanajuato, is the chef who you can see at work in the open kitchen, and his wife and two teenage children work front of house.It’s a little tricky understanding how the menu works, but it is explained well when we reach the top of the queue on a Wednesday evening. Our order is taken, we get a number and wait for 30 minutes. We opt for takeaway.
The alambre chicken comes as a mix of grilled peppers with melted cheese and mushrooms piled over the chicken. There are five hot tortillas and you assemble them yourself. The vegetarian volcanes are particularly good, three crispy tortillas topped with a mixture of peppers, mushrooms and cheese which have been grilled so that it’s nicely burnished.
A small side of beans, refried with onion and chilli, is tasty and the puréed pico de gallo has a good punch of jalapeño.Food is packed into a paper bag and a mixture of cardboard containers and tinfoil are used to contain the food.€47 for dinner for three people: Tacos al pastor, €14; alambre chicken, €15; vegetarian volcanes, €12; beans, €3; and pico de gallo, €3.Yes. A great spot for a sunny day where you can sit outside with a beer while waiting for your food.
