Friday night we trekked to the west side of Madison for what is by far the best authentic Mexcian food in town. La Mestiza delivers the best in Oaxacan and Mexico City fare. This night was only mared by slow service from the kitchen, it seems everyone has found the place. The kitchen was slow but the Margaritas were very tasty as usual.
So after downing the best fresh chips in town (2 baskets) we fianlly got our first course. A Tuna ceviche which was not very exciting - it lacked tuna - it was chopped Vallerata style with avocado, tomato, onion and cilantro. We would not order this again - it was a special and it just did not deliver.
Dinner on the other hand arrived after another 30 minute wait - but well worth it. The Pork Pibil is by far the most amazing pork in the midwest - tender, juicy and an ample amount is great rolled in warm corn tortillas. Linda had the spicy Camerones - and they lived up to being spicy- tender grilled shrimp in a tomato sauce with chile de arbol - nice and hot.
All in all a 2 + hour dinner that was tatsy but slow - glad we were not trying to make a movie. Tonight we give an overall grade of B+ - Josh our server comped a round of drinks to make up for the slow kitchen. Food was very good, service attentive but the kitchen slow. We will return but not on a Friday night.
