Living in California, Mexican food is a must. I have to admit though, that when I just moved here, I would never go for Mexican food. NEVER. Germany just doesn’t really have good Mexcian food, what can I say. I can’t even remember seeing a Mexican restaurant in my neighborhood. And it proofs again, that you like what you’re used to. Here I learned to love it. LIKE really love it. All the great flavors and combinations on a tostada, tortilla or in a burrito – makes me wanna eat right away again.
This one comes with a vegan ‘tuna’- salad, cilantro, some sweet cranberries and of course the queen of Mexican food: avocado. No avocado, no Mexican food. Right?
