\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Well, “like” Mexican.\u00c2\u00a0 As I experienced many years ago at Sombrero in the basement dining arcade in the Paseo building adjacent to the JR Sapporo station, it looks<\/em> right, but doesn’t taste<\/em> right.\u00c2\u00a0 The fried chicken and fries weren’t really “Mexican”, but the chili con carne and enchilada were… somewhat.\u00c2\u00a0 They did a lot better than last time.\u00c2\u00a0 To this day I don’t know what that white stuff that came with my burrito was, but it wasn’t sour cream (I think it was cream cheese).\u00c2\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The chili was actually spicy with burn and a good cumin flavor, but there were snausages in it.\u00c2\u00a0 Okay, not authentic, but still tasty.\u00c2\u00a0 The enchilada had either pork or chicken in it.\u00c2\u00a0 I really couldn’t tell.\u00c2\u00a0 I think it was probably pork.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe.\u00c2\u00a0 The sauce was similar to the enchirito sauce at Taco Hell, but more flavorful and less runny.\u00c2\u00a0 The weird part was the tortilla.\u00c2\u00a0 It seemed almost gummy, almost like a crepe texture.\u00c2\u00a0 The chicken was juicy thigh meat, the fries were hot but a little oily, the salad was there for color and not flavor, and the rice was a sticky Japanese rice and not loose Mexican rice.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a good meal, just not really Mexican.\u00c2\u00a0 OK, how’s this – it was better than Jose’s in Kaimuki.\u00c2\u00a0 Sorry, that’s not saying much.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a good Japanese meal styled to look like Mexican food.\u00c2\u00a0 There.\u00c2\u00a0 Sorted.<\/p>\n

Huh?\u00c2\u00a0 What?\u00c2\u00a0 OK, I liked it.\u00c2\u00a0 Give them a try if you’re in town.<\/p>\n
