Mamasita has directly been running for 2 years in addition to it seems every bit pop every bit ever. Their no-bookings policy (for groups of less than eight) has had most of Melbourne at some phase lining upward along their staircase, spilling out onto Collins St, retreating to a nearby bar for a few drinks or only giving upward in addition to eating elsewhere. We did our best to circumvent the hold off past times arriving correct on their 5pm opening final Sabbatum in addition to were dealt xx minutes of queuing in addition to i of their final tables for 2 - lucky.
Mamasita's menu, every bit you lot likely already know, has a modern Mexican theme. It's totally gluten gratis alongside plentiful vegetarian in addition to vegan options marked throughout the carte - what you lot come across hither likely constitutes less than one-half of the meat-free dishes on offer.
Michael tried their potent in addition to sour Mamasita margarita (El Jimador reposado, Cointreau in addition to fresh lime on the rocks; $17). My Pina Ahumada (Reposado mezcal, Damiana in addition to pineapple on the rocks alongside a vanilla tabular array salt rim; $18) was sweeter in addition to slow to fault for a soft drink. The vanilla tabular array salt rim is pleasantly addling.
Our repast commenced alongside the near-mandatory Elotes callejeros ($4.90 each), char-grilled street-style corn topped alongside queso, chipotle mayo in addition to lime. There's cipher similar tasty, inelegant nutrient on sticks to laid an upbeat casual tone. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 piddling jounce of toothpicks on the tabular array save some dignity.
The quesadilla de frijoles ($14) is i of the plainer looking dishes, but non lacking for flavour - toasty tortillas sandwich refried dark beans in addition to cheese, topped alongside fresh salsa in addition to served alongside a spicy condiment for smearing all over.
To operate along things fresh nosotros elected to percentage the ensalada de jicama y betabel ($8), a salad of jicama, beetroot, cherry pepper, pepitas, sesame, orangish in addition to chipotle dressing. The white jicama cubes reminded Michael of apple tree inwards their crisp sweetness in addition to I specially appreciated the crunchy pepitas.
The surprise savoury highlight was the Bunuelos de garbanzos ($19): chickpea fritters alongside land mushrooms, sugariness tater in addition to a jalapeno herb sauce. While I'd pictured whole chickpeas deep-fried inwards batter, this was a seasoned chickpea flour batter, set, sliced in addition to lightly crusted. I loved the lite fluffy texture, Michael loved the mushrooms in addition to sugariness potato, nosotros both loved mopping upward the greenish sauce. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 lovely dish all round.
While nosotros could get got happily finished upward at that spot (and I suspect our waitress would get got preferred nosotros did), I persuaded Michael that dessert was inwards order. I was quite desperate for a Helado de maiz ($6), sweetcorn icecream inwards a cone, topped alongside caramel popcorn. This was lite in addition to sugariness in addition to fun, in addition to though I could come across the corn I couldn't actually sense of savor it. I'm non certain whether that's Mamasita's fault; I may get got been inwards that post-cocktail zone where the tastebuds are dulled but everything is awesome.
Michael's choice (Pastel de chocolate, $11) was nearly twice the cost but looking pretty small. Once sampled, the portioning made much feel - the flourless chocolate cake was incredibly dense in addition to rich, sitting inwards a puddle of tequila white chocolate sauce. Michael liked the contrasting fruitiness of the PX jelly dabbled some the plate, in addition to only barely finished the dish.
With that nosotros sorted out the nib in addition to made infinite for the evening's 2nd sitting. I left real impressed! On a previous (unblogged) see I didn't shout out back the character of the vegetarian dishes warranted the cost hike over Veg Food Diaries Melbourne; less impressed are Trippy Taco but I shout out back Mamasita get got upped the ante alongside their multifariousness of ingredients, every bit good every bit some killer cocktails in addition to desserts. Many bloggers get got complained most the noise levels but nosotros enjoyed the atmosphere in addition to conversed comfortably. The kitchen clearly has a slick organisation for dealing alongside their near-constant amount family - nosotros weren't left waiting likewise long for nutrient in addition to received only plenty attending from the flooring staff.
Given the high take away for a spot at Mamasita it'll likely last a piece earlier we're back, but whatsoever hereafter visits volition last eagerly anticipated.
