The kitchen also offers the traditional tamale. We tried Chicken in Mole Sauce (Rs 275) that fetched us two packs of minced chicken dusted with masa flour and steamed in a corn-leaf wrap. Open the pouch and a delicious steaming concoction greets every mouthful.

Among quesadillas, Mexico’s quintessential street food, we sampled spinach and goat cheese (Rs 250) that served us four triangles of grilled tortillas stuffed with a delicious filling. Stuffed Chillies in Walnut Sauce and Pomegranates (Rs 450) brings a colourful platter of different peppers stuffed with spinach, pine nuts and raisins. The dish is bathed in walnut and pomegranate sauce.

Seafood lovers are in for a special treat. Coco con Mariscos (Rs 650) a seafood stew from the Gulf Coast, takes the lead with its beautiful presentation and an equally delightful flavour. Bits of crab meat, shrimps and fillets are cooked in a cream sauce and stuffed in coconut shells.

Give a miss

The Salmon Maya (Rs 850) is tad overpriced considering it is just a fillet of fish stacked on a plate of potato crispies and kidney-bean paste. The dish did not impart any memorable flavours.

But if you forget Salmon Maya and are ready for a buffet of ethnic Mexican flavours, you can take off your sombrero right here.
