Tomatillo

There’s been a fair few Mexican street food outfits opening up in recent times, but this was by far my favourite dining experience. The shop front on the main drag of Kings Cross hides a great sandstone dining room, where you can sit at a rustic wooden table with a frozen Lime Margarita ($8.50) in hand! Best bites are their house-made Chipotle Glazed Ribs ($16/half, $24/full) served with beans, rice and salad; and the great Chorizo Quesadilla ($10), made even better by the addition of their house-made ‘Must Have Mango’ hot sauce. Their Burritos ($9.90) provide a complete meal for under ten bucks ‘ large flour tortillas filled with rice, beans, meat or vegetables, cheese, sour cream, lettuce and salsa. Vegetarians (and vegans) will find dining options here ‘ in fact they’re happy to make Mexican any way you like it (even if that means without any chilli heat). For those who want to feel the burn there are five different salsas ranging from a mild Pico de Gallo to a wild Habenero Chilli; and tasty roasted Jalapenos ($2). Warm host Bill Komoroski will make you feel right at home, and his counter staff will serve you with a smile until 4am on Fridays and Saturdays.
