For those who are wondering what a “mañana” is, it basically means “future” in Mexican and Cafe G is proving why you should be a part of their Mexican fiesta without worrying about the future. From fabulous cocktails to their tacos to their Quesadillas, I have absolutely fallen in love with this place. I was previously here to review their Japanese food and now Mexican, one thing I can truly say, the Cafe G HR team is doing a fabulous job at hiring their chefs. So a big big big congratulations to the whole team and Indrashis Sinha (as I am constantly informed whatever goes right is because of him :p)
Coming down to food, Chef Chetan has done an absolutely fabulous job of curating the menu. The flavors are spot on What I absolutely loved was that Mexican food is generally really spicy but Chef Chetan has controlled the spice in a way that it gives you the true essence of Mexican flavors and not end up numbing your mouth.
Avacado, peppers and bean salad
The salad was so beautifully presented (my clicked picture does no justice to it). The Avocado, cilantro, pinto beans, peppers etc were soo beautifully tied together with the olive oil and lemon dressing. The sour cream gave such a perfect ending to the whole dish, an absolute beautiful start to my luncheon.

Chimichanga
Quiet honestly I was expecting it to be very doughy and heavy (from the looks of it) but it was so beautifully made and the salsa on it complimented the dish so well. My personal favorite was the pineapple tomato salsa- the tanginess of tomato with the sweetness of pineapple made the entire combination of chimichanga and salsa simply a bite into heaven.

Corn croquette
I am personally not a big fan of deep fried dishes, I don’t like the aftertaste of oil on my tastebuds. Chef Chetan balanced the dish so well, the crispy jalapeno crumb with the gooey corn kernel and potato filling was a symphony of different flavors and textures on my tongue.

Quessadilla (cover photo)
One of the best Quessadilla eaten by me. The dough of Quessadilla was made in house and it had beetroot flavor to it. It was so soft yet crisp, it perfectly melted away in my mouth. Coloured peppers, spicy salsa, chipotle ranch, onion, cilantro, jalapeno ancho chilli, chilli flakes finished by sour cream, it was a symphony of flavors in my mouth. There were so many different textures, it was my absolute favorite dish of the day.
Avacado and vanilla Parfait
I am a big big big fan of Avacado. So quiet partial about this dessert. It worked so well as an ending to our meal. Light, creamy and frothy- the good thing about the dessert was that it wasn’t heavy and on that hot summer afternoon, it was such a delight.
All in all, absolutely loved my luncheon at Cafe G, would be coming back soon to try some more beautiful dishes.
