6 Mexican Restaurants in Brisbane

Many of us are familiar with some classics from Mexico, like the taco. This corn or wheat tortilla comes with a variety of fillings, including vegetables, cheese, pork, chicken or beef. Nachos have also become a staple on many menus across the globe. Tortilla chips are topped with cheese, chillies and a host of other ingredients and then grilled to create an amazingly flavourful dish. Enchiladas, meanwhile, are soft corn tortillas that are typically wrapped around tender pieces of chicken and baked with a rich tomato sauce. They are often accompanied with cheese and some variations including tuna or vegetarian enchiladas. The burrito is another popular favourite you can enjoy at many Mexican restaurants across Brisbane. This is a soft tortilla wrapped and closed around a variety of fillings, traditionally refried beans and meat. Fajitas are another dish that is not to be missed. Tender chicken, beef or vegetables are char-grilled and diners can then make up their own fajitas by adding cheese, guacamole and sour cream and wrapping in a tortilla.

The dishes mentioned above can be pretty filling, but the menus of Brisbane's Mexican restaurants also include many lighter options. Salsa is a delightful mixture of chopped tomatoes, onions, chillies and coriander. It is seasoned with salt and lime juice and served raw, usually with tortilla chips. It's a healthy and delicious favourite you will find on the menus of almost all of the Mexican restaurants in Brisbane. Ceviche is another lighter dish to get your mouth watering. This dish may date back for many centuries and consists of fresh raw fish 'cooked' by curing in lime juice. It is typically served with chopped onions, chilli and salt, although many of Brisbane's Mexican restaurants will have their own variations on the traditional recipe.
