I was invited to try Hermanos Taco Shop's signature authentic Mexican food last week and it was amazing. I've eaten at Mexican restaurants but this was just on point. Read more as I run through what  the guys at Hermanos showcased us:

Nachos with guacamole

They don't use ground beef for their nachos, not like what is commonly used. Rather, they use sirloin strips cut into small pieces. Plus the salsa was really tasty. Everybpiece you get is jampacked with amazing flavors.

Chicken Quesadilla

Chicken is still juicy inside the warm soft tortilla. Plus with their signature salsa. Perfect!

Rolled Tacos

Tortilla wrapped beef/chicken, deep fried and topped with cheese, veggies and guacamole. Need I say more?

Enchiladas

One of the most filling dishes served to us. The enchiladas was delicious and partnered with the bean dip and rice.

Chimichangga

 Yes. A deep fried burrito. You'd think a burrito is enough, but deep fry it and hey! You got a chimichangga! Check how beautiful that inside is!

Tamales

Cheesy and spicy tamales! It was just so good! The best way to eat it is to scoop all that cheese sauce and smother it in the tamales. Yum!

Fish Tacos

Crisp and juicy fish fillet. Soft warm torilla. What would you need more? Oh yeah the roasted salsa. 

Burrito

You saw how beautiful the chimichangga looked right? Check out its parent.  Oh yeah.

Mexican Menudo

Mexican menudo is very different from the pinoy version. Ours was like pork stew with liver and carrots.  The Mexican version is more of a soup made with tripe and a dried chili broth. Thebtaste is somehwhat similar to our pinapaitan but spicier and less bitter. It's a very comforting dish; something you'd like to eat on a chilly day. Probably one of the best comfort food of Mexico.

Cheese Quesadilla

Every bite is oozing with melted cheese. And to dip it with the salsa is just heaven!

Hermanos Taco Shop also serve desserts such as:

Cinnamon crisps

Deep fried pastry crisps sprinkled with cinnamon powder and served with caramel sauce

Churros

Schue pastry with cinnamon and also served with caramel sauce.

I adore caramel and this is just perfect. The cinnamon in the churros is a perfect contrast to the sweet caramel sauce.

They also serve beer that goes perfectly well with the rich flavors of the Mexican food.

The best thing about the food is that everything is flavorful. Every ingredient is tasty. Mexican food has lots of ingredients and components and everything should taste good to produce a wonderful dish. And that's what the people at Hermanos Taco Shop got right: every ingredient and component tastes so good, you'd get the best tasting Mexican food.
