Sanchez Taqueria & Cantina, Bangalore

The second outlet of Sanchez has opened on 12th Main, Indiranagar's restaurant street. Here it's a taqueria, exuding a distinct taco cart vibe with bright colours and brick walls painted with motifs from Mexican folklore. There's a busy bar, its façade adorned with tiles, and also an outdoor area.

This version of Sanchez has been created primarily as a taqueria and you'll find on the menu tacos and all the variations on the tortilla theme ñ from garnacha to quesadilla, enchiladas, fajitas and Tex Mex-style wet burritos. Every dish is served on carefully chosen platters, garnished in a style that seems made for Instagram.
Begin with the guacamole, made table-side. The avocado is creamy, the condiments just right and the pile of corn chips utterly more-ish.

The taqueria counter serves up both crisp and soft tacos, some made with blue corn, others with yellow, some coloured with beet and others flavoured with spinach. It's a hard-to-pick-just-one array of colours, textures and fillings. One of the star dishes here is the Baja Style Beer Battered Fish in Soft Flour Taco - the fish fresh and flavourful, every mouthful enlivened by chipotle mayo. If you prefer a hard taco, then the Guajillo Pork Chunks in Hard Yellow Corn Tacos should hit the spot.

A new inclusion on this menu is the Avocado Toast. Chef Vikas Seth, who, with his unbounded energy, skilfully combines authenticity and innovation on every menu, has introduced a range of avocado toast-inspired creations which should especially appeal to vegetarians.

For a change from the tacos, order the Grilled Tenderloin, served Mexican style, with salad, corn on the cob, refried beans, chipotle jus and enchilada. Even if you have eaten your fill, desserts are not to be missed at Sanchez.

There's the Dark Chocolate Guacamole, a rich and luscious thing for chocolate lovers, and churros that ooze cream, chocolate, caramel and cajeta. But the absolute favourite is the Tres Leches which no one does better in these parts.

With your tacos, order the Mexican-accented cocktails from the bar.

Sanchez is the place for the most authentic Mexican food and drink experience in town.
