[caption id="attachment_5202" align="aligncenter" width="529"] Grilled Chicken Salad - Pomegranate and Agave Nectar Dressing, Tomatoes, Carrot, Cucumber, Grilled Peppers, Mushrooms and Onions ($18.50)[/caption] Although the menu description made it sound like it would be quite sweet, it was more salty than sweet, which actually suited me better. The chicken was pretty tasty, not dry, and the mix of grilled and raw vegetables lent the dish a variety of flavours and textures.

I was catching up with a friend during a long lunch break and since she works right across the road, we decided to meet at Paco's Tacos. The tacos are all $6 each; today I went with chicken and prawn. If you're looking for something filling, the chicken would be better than the prawn, which only came with two pieces of prawn.  My chicken taco had a bit too much sauce; by the time I got around to eating it the soggy tortilla had split down the centre,...

After perusing the menu we settled on sharing a kangaroo fillet burrito, which consisted of 12” tortilla (made by Abbotsford Convent bakery) filled with spiced black beans, pumpkin, fetta, salsa roja, pepitas ($16) We were told the kangaroo fillet would be cooked rare. Most of the pieces arrived being more like medium-well done, but I didn't mind since we weren't eating the kangaroo as a steak. There was a nice charcoal flavour around the outside. The tortilla was one of the best I've had so far: slightly browned but tender...

The entrance to Mamasita is a very discreet door next to a 7-Eleven, with the actual restaurant located on the floor above it. I arrived about 5 minutes before 12pm so I joined the short queue out the front. When the doors opened everyone was seated quickly; I got a seat at the bar, very close to the open kitchen. Having browsed the menu beforehand I already knew what I wanted, so I ordered the famous elotes callejeros ("Street Style” chargrilled corn, queso, chipotle mayo & lime, $4.9) and de Lengua y...

This modern Mexican-inspired restaurant is just down from Sapore. It was quite small and cozy inside. There may have been an outdoors seating area, but I couldn't see out the door. About a third of the floor was taken up by the bar and open kitchen. Having an open kitchen meant it felt more inviting and casual, which was a lovely atmosphere. This is what we had: Soft tacos: - Corn Battered Snapper, Pico de Gallo, Avocado and Coriander - Sugar Cured Spanish Mackerel, Cucumber, Radish, Pico de Gallo and Avocado Ceviche: - Scallops...
