| Racket Bar |
Started with drinks in Britomart in a bar called Racket. Enter through the little alleyway next to A&M and the wide half-door to an intimate and dimly-lit room.
I saw the bartender spin a wine bottle on one finger. Fascinated.
We did what we do best; talk about clothes, boys, shared gossip, like... Iris got a boyfriend, Ames-BABE and how Lot punched a boy in the face (WOOOO!!!).
At Mexico, we ordered starters and mains. I liked how they use their paper menus as placemats... solves the problem of forgetting what your ordered. A lot of it was in Spanish ; crema catalana (which I just googled, is creme brulee), patatas de maiz (corn chips), queso fresco (cheese).
Mexico's corn chips were addicting ; crunchy and lightly salted. Irv got the black bean and bacon dip with tortillas, which was also really yum.
As for the mains; the chicken quesadillas were really good until I tried the mushroom ones, which were better, THEN (read this Lauren, jt and Calci) I tried LAMB quesadilla, and it was DELICIOUS.
The mint flavour was not too strong and the almond red mojo dip was the perfect companion. And the lamb tasted like beef.
Considering how busy it was, the food came quickly although it was a little out of sync ; the starters and mains came at the same time, but it wasn't a problem.

We all felt very full and satisfied afterwards :)
Mexico had a great ambience and a sophisticated air, being a restaurant bar in downtown Auckland. It's not too loud inside, which allowed conversations during your meal.
Judging by the crowd, it seems like a really popular place.
I admired the bright and colorful decor, there was so much to look at!
Will I come here again?
Yes. It's a great dinner place to go to with friends, the food is delicious and good prices too, especially for downtown Auckland.
Next time,
I will sit in a different part of the restaurant and admire the different decor there :P Make a reservation! It was surprisingly packed for a Tuesday night.
Order the corn chips, lamb quesadillas. I am going to try the soft tacos and the crema catalana dessert next time . Join me?? :D
And to conclude... I miss you all.
'Miss Ram, can I use a computer?'
'Did you put your name down?'
'No. I forg-'
'Then no.'
'But I didn't-'
'No. Go back to Miss E. You senior girls should know you have to put your name down before prep.'
Signed,
