Tacoteca's Almuerzo Sunday Brunch
Tacoteca have just launched Sunday brunch with a brand new ‘Almuerzo’ menu! The offering includes firm Mexican breakfast favourites inspired by dishes owners Jean Brito and Edmundo Farrera love to eat:
Enchiladas Veracruz three rolled corn tortillas in a black bean sauce, filled with scrambled eggs, queso fresco and crema
Huevos Rancheros two fried eggs on corn tortillas, with refried beans, crema, grated haloumi and red tomato or green tomatillo salsa
Huevos Completos two eggs fried or scrambled, chorizo, refried beans, salsa macha, guacamole and tortillas
Quesadillas a footlong tortilla stuffed with cheese and your choice of chorizo, lamb barbacoa, beef suadero or mushrooms, and either red tomato or green tomatillo sal
Lamb Birria slow cooked lamb broth consomé served with tortillas and lemon.
Plus a tasty beverage menu of: Mexican Café de Olla; Mexican hot chocolate; Horchata; Tepache; Mimosa Classica; Xitomata ‘Mexican Bloody Mary’; Carajillo ‘Mexican Espresso Martini’.
Prioritising high-quality ingredients from Aotearoa New Zealand and imported Mexican products to create flavours designed to captivate customers, Tacoteca offers an array of tantalising tacos including barbacoa, beef, al pastor, fish and vegetarian selections – the idea is to order a few. Then a few more. And maybe just a couple more.
Alongside the core taco offering, Tacoteca’s menu also offers a selection of antojitos (translating as ‘little craves’ or snacks) including tasty salsas, savoury churros, ceviche and tostadas, guacamole, taquitos (flautas) and queso fundido (Mexican cheese fondue) – be prepared for your tastebuds to be transported to Mexico.
Families with niños (children) are well served too with a kid’s menu including mini cheese quesadillas, egg and beef taquitos.
On the dessert front those with a sweet tooth are well catered for. Tacoteca serves leche frita – chef’s favourite, and house-made paletas (ice blocks) in the summer months. The beverage menu at Tacoteca promises to excite, with specialty margaritas including a zero alcohol, classic, tamarind, passionfruit and Cadillac-inspired, alongside craft beers and selected wines. Non-alcoholic preferences are well covered with house-made horchata (a rice drink with vanilla and cinnamon), speciality sodas and zero % beers.
