authenic mexican? how would i know?
i went to New Rebozo with my mexican friend and his family. This included his mother, a great cook, who insisted this place was not to be missed. She calls this place “the oh-my-god place” because she says, when you put the food in your mouth, you can’t help but say “oh my god!” also because the chef who introduces the food says “oh my god” quite a bit.
the head chef does come around to each table bearing the specials of the day so you can look at them while he describes them. his enthusiasm is infectious. the waitstaff was just as friendly. We all ordered different combinations of enchiladas (cheese, guacamole, beef, chicken). That, of course, was really complicated, so you can’t really blame them much for getting some of the fillings wrong. Unless you’re totally mean.
There is patio seating in the back of the restaurant. The place is pretty small; making a reservations isn’t a bad idea.

Enchilada Fiesta
4 enchiladas covered in 6 different kinds of mole sauce. I belllieve the flavors are: almond, pumpkin, cinnamon, sunflower, chocolate and one other. The sunflower was the hands-down favorite at the table. Here’s a confession: I don’t really like mole sauce, so I’m not fit to judge.

Tamales with Mango Salsa
Very interesting! The tamale was creamy and the goat cheese complimented the fruit flavor beautifully. As strange as that sounds. A fun appetizer.

The Oh My God! Ice Cream
It’s a mountain of vanilla ice cream with Lucky Charms cereal sprinkled on it. Culinarily speaking, it was horrifying. Also, the ice cream was strangely ice-y at points, like it had been in the freezer too long. But it was really phallic, which makes it a good dessert for bachelorette parties.

Carne Maya
A great presentation: beef coming out of a giant half-onion. The mole complimented the steak quite well (I’m told by my mole-eating friend). It was creamy, which made it more like a sauce than just a dressing.
