Tacos al pastor, an infallible classic.
After working together on different projects and brands as culinary consultants, Fernando Carrasco and Julian Barros They wanted to have their own place. And thinking, thinking what to set up, they decided on a gastronomy, ** the Mexican, ** that they are passionate about and that is growing a lot in Madrid, but that still I needed a casual and special lap.
With that idea of creating a modern taqueria, a place where you can go in to have a beer or a michelada and end up snacking on some tacos or tortilla chips, Mawey Taco Bar. “It is a place to enjoy some good tacos, to laugh and have a good time with a good cocktail in hand”, say the two partners. It is a good place for those moments before and after an afternoon at the movies in the nearby theaters on Fuencarral street, they explain.
Tribute to the habanero.
In fact, to facilitate and encourage this idea of mexican Bar, They will leave the main room with high tables and the bar and the back room with low tables and for reservations. Ahead, priority will be given to that snack of tacos and quesadillas, and behind you can enjoy the different Mexican dishes or stews that will be added to the menu.
Menu that they have created between Barros and Carrasco, which begins where almost any good taco restaurant begins, for a homemade guacamole and some real tortilla chips. To immediately move on to the star of the place: the tacos. There are classics "for anyone who looks for them whenever he goes to a Mexican restaurant," says Julián, such as the one from piglet pibil or al pastor (very juicy meat) . But his thing is to go to Mawey to try his unique tacos: like the one from very crispy ear and cuttlefish with habanero chili (spicy) ; either the governor, with shrimp, Oaxaca cheese and kiko powder; or the one of cheek with poblano chili.
To whet your appetite or kill hunger.
They have options for celiacs and also vegetarians with their huitlacoche quesadillas The tortillas are not made in their kitchen, but they are handmade (and it shows), wheat, corn and blue corn. And the idea is to always have some out of letter according to what we see in the market”, they say.
And, of course, as a bar drinks menu is extensive also. The micheladas cannot be missing, neither a good list of mezcals, nor the classic margaritas. But they have other versions, like daisy with flower of Jamaica. And other cocktails that are already a success, despite the short time they have been open, such as The Jalisco Dove, with tequila, lime juice, grapefruit juice and black salt.
