Mexico food in Italy?


Milan proclaims the “Capital of Aperitivo in Italy. It is true all my friends love to go to Aperitivo (pay for 8 euro for a drink and all-you-can-eat food.). It is definitely a cheap way to hang out with friends. But sometimes food quality is not very high. It really depends which place you go.

A friend suggests going to a Mexico aperitivo to change a sight (we just went to aperitivo the other day). I thought it is not a bad idea to have Mexico food. Although I know it will not be too authentic.

When we got there, it was already past 8pm. Most aperitivo finishes around 9pm. So we rushed to get our last plates. The interesting thing is: except the beans and dips, everything else is Italian food. As I was looking around the Mexico deco in the restaurant, did chef get confused with the menu? Or maybe in Italy, it does not matter “American Brunch” or “ Mexico restaurant”, people still want their Italian food around because they are so proud of Italian cuisine?

The bar does make very fancy drinks with exotic fruit decoration. My Piña colada is creamy and rich of coco flavor.
