Mamacita, a trailblazing new concept in Mexican cuisine and drink, has opened at TRYP by Wyndham in Pulteney Street, Adelaide and is set to become a hot new destination for foodies and bargoers.
Mamacita is a must-visit location for the tequila afficionado, with shelves devoted to a collection of more than 50 tequilas (and climbing). Guests can choose from an enviable range of Margaritas or build their own and to heat their meal with chilli sauces featured on a scale ranging from mild to eye-wateringly hot, one of which requires a waiver to taste.
All your usual Mexican classics appear of course, alongside more adventurous choices for the gastronome: carne asada with 12-hour slow-roasted marinated Scotch fillet, cured kingfish in lemon and lime and yucca fries made from the yucca root, commonly found in South America and the Pacific.
The mouth-watering menu has been created by Director of Food and Beverage, Valentin Corchado - a food and beverage leader with extensive experience across Europe, Asia and the South Pacific - and Chef Somerled Mackay, who lived in South America for several years before settling in Adelaide.
"The team at Mamacita has done extensive research into what makes the most flavoursome food, picked out some truly incredible and distinctive tequilas and experimented with the best food and drink combinations to develop culinary itineraries capable of taking guests on a journey,” says Valentin.
"We want to make food fun. We are proud to offer different ideas and have other exciting concepts we intend to roll out, like lollipops we will craft in-house with little scorpions or crickets, imported from overseas. Mamacita is set to bring some spice to the Mexican scene in Adelaide and we know guests will be impressed,” he adds.
