Please note that since writing this blog post, Rose's Cantina has closed down
Flu a thing of the past and drinking hat firmly back on head, it was high time I started going out again.
Last night I went to a Mexican restaurant, which is going to cause no end of trouble with the database since I’ve never reviewed Mexican food and we don’t have a category for it yet… But technical difficulties aside, I never quite get the point of Mexican food. I mean, who knows the difference between an enchilada and a quesadilla anyway? Burrito or fajita? It’s all the same to me… Not that I dislike it. I just don’t really need a menu. Bring me a tortilla with some meat and cheese in it, some mashed beans and guacamole, and who cares what it’s called?
Still, it’s a good excuse to drink Sangria, I suppose, so that’s exactly what we did. Rose’s Cantina occupies a good spot on the Reguliersdwarsstraat, so I imagine it gets plenty of tourist trade and doesn’t need to attract an awful lot of regulars. For this reason, I assume, it’s relatively expensive – just under €20 for an enchi-quesa-whatnot – and the presentation is a little sloppy. That said, the ambience is bubbly and the portions are big. If you’re into that sort of thing.
