Taxco Mexican Restaurant

Saturday, November 1, 2008

Tonight 8 of us ventured up to West Hollywood to attend dinner at a restaurant that Remy has raved about. I am glad John drove because it took and hour and half to get there. Since we were late for our reservation we had to wait about 20 minutes on the patio area before being seated. We had Sangrias while we waited. They were refreshing. The restaurant only had a beer & wine license. The margaritas were made with wine instead of tequila. I passed on that and stuck with the sangria At least it was overly sweet. The waiter comes over and asks if you want chicken, beef, seafood, shrimp or vegetarian. Also gives you a choice of sauces. All the appetizers are the same. No menus.

We started off with chips and salsa, both which they make fresh daily. Next was a very good quesedilla with one of the best guacamole's I have had. The meatball soup was ok. I have worst and better so it fell in the middle. The next appetizers was a mini chicken enchilada followed by a "mexican" pizza. Beans and cheese on top of a tortilla. It was good. I ordered the shrimp mole for dinner. The mole was very good but I felt the shrimp were just overcooked a tad. The refried beans were good but by this time I could only taste them and not eat them. They make their tortillas fresh everyday also.

The only dessert that is served is some kind of pudding/flan concoction which was tasty. This was served with a small glass of Sherry.

I would only venture to this place with a group of people to make it a party. Its a long drive and they don't even have tacos.
