Maria Do Carmo D'Orey
+3.5
Real Mexican food - said by actual Mexicans - so that it can be a bit heavy for dinner time. The environment is nice anyways with Brazilian and Portuguese music playing the whole night since the staff is mostly Portuguese and entirely Spanish speaking. They have also Salsa nights but I have not tried it!
Ay Caramba! There's now a Mexican restaurant in Camden Town!
The atmosphere is one of the best parts of eating here, as the interior is styled to look like a traditional Mexican restaurant. The walls are filled with colourful paintings and sombreros are dotted around the restaurant for you to wear.
The food is delicious and portions are well worth the money. The menu itself is quite broad, where they serve traditional food such as burritos and fajitas, to seafood and salads. I would definitely recommend their starters, particularly the cajun mushrooms and the classic nachos with the chuox bun for dessert.
As the restaurant is located on Camden's main high street, the area is busy and filled with loads of restaurants with food from around the world. I would recommend Ay Caramba to anyone who loves Mexican food that is not too expensive. Also, if you ever watch someone perform at KOKO, Ay Caramba is right outside.
Big Meat!
On my recent visit to Camden, my friend and me wanted a steakhouse. We found this authentic Mexican Restaurant on our way. It was a real deal. When got to the entrance, I checked this place on Zomato and saw that reviews were great. So, we decided to get in. We were not disappointed!
It had that dark, Mexican atmosphere that surprised us and outstanding meat! Oh my! My friend had the Fajitas ribeye steak and he thought it was superb. It was HUGE! And yet it was very tender. I opted for the the gaucho ribeye steak. Again, absolutely mammoth, cooked to a perfect medium rare and so tender and juicy.
We didn't bother with many sides, we did have some starters like fried calamari and some nachos that were excellent.
I found that he drink list was bit weak. It can definitely be improved.
Price is absolutely good!
We will be back surely!
