This is my first post in 2017. It took me a while to get back on my horse but now that I am on it… I won’t stop. This first post is going to be about my favourite Mexican restaurant in Barcelona: La Torteria Mexicana!!!
One great Mexican restaurant
As you guessed, the Torteria Mexicana serves…Mexican food… They actually serve “tortas” (a kind of Mexican sandwiches) and “tacos”. I must admit, I never tried the tortas because I like their tacos so much I just want to have them all the time! They offer the pastor one (pork and pineapple), a beef one, a chorizo one, a spicy chicken one and a coriander marinated chicken one. They are all good, although I prefer the pastor and the chicken ones. My order is usually the same: a pastor one and one of two types of chicken. Did I say that they were so tasty??? The food tastes homemade. So are the spicy (very spicy) sauces.
The Torteria Mexicana also serves good drinks: Mexican beers (but that is expected), Micheladas and cocktails. I love their Micheladas, it is a Mexican drink made out of beer, lemon juice and a mix of sauces. They are the best I have ever tried in Barcelona or any other part of the world for that matter so far. I have also tried a Mezcal cocktail once. It was really good but I still prefer their Micheladas.
Their plus: promotional nights and home deliveries
This Mexican restaurant is warm and very small. The colours are very happy so it is enjoyable to just sit there and enjoy the food and the drinks. The other good thing about the place is that they have special nights. On Wednesdays, they offer the taco pastor for 1 euro from 8pm. They used to have a cocktail night on Thursdays too. But since I am all about the tacos, I never came back to check Thursday nights. But even without those promotional nights, I do think that their food is affordable: less than 2 euros a taco and 3 euros a beer.
To tell you how good the food is, I invited my best friend there for a dinner when she came to visit me here in Barcelona. She loved it so much she keeps on asking to go back every time she is in the city. If you don’t have time to come over or want to try the tacos in the comfort of your home, they also do home deliveries. I have not tried this service so this is purely for information.
