After an event, 5 of my friends and I headed over to relatively new Campechano. It’s tiny space, so we had to wait around 20 minutes for a seat, even at close to 9pm! I don’t recommend this place if you are a picky eater or vegetarian (some of my friends were) because they have a very tiny menu of 9 tacos, 1 guacamole and 1 dessert.
I began with an order of guacomole. It was fairly simple to the eye but there was definitely an unexpected heat.
The first taco I had was the Tinga de Pollo, a morita chili stewed chicken breast with a green salsa on top.
One of my favourites was the Prescano, a beautiful deep fried branzino taco with a hint of chipotle.
The Bistec, a sirloin cap taco with onion, grilled green pepper and crunchy flakes of some sort was my favourite taco texturally.
Lastly, I went for the Chorizo (pork sausage) with potato. I was completely stuffed at this point (I don’t recommend that one person actually eat four tacos).
Somehow I still had room for their delicious flan with caramel drizzle. I wanted to lick the plate.
Oh yeah all this I washed down with a Paloma which was tequila, bitters and Squirt. They were generous with the alcohol, so definitely felt a little funny half way through.
I enjoyed all my taco selections. I found the meat very tender and spice not for the faint of heart. Everything was super flavourful and is definitely wroth the visit if you’re in the mood for cozy tacos.
