Hello there! I've been on holiday in Barcelona for the last week and one thing which I've noticed here is the passion for food this city has. We had been told about this amazing Mexican restaurant on 54 Avinguda de Mistral called the Niño Viejo, so we just had to try it. The walk there is really pretty and if you take the tube and get out at Espanya, you'll exit out of the station into this beautiful square/roundabout where if you turn around you should be able to see the museu national d'Art de Catalunya (the Catalan national art museum), which is a beautiful building, and in the evening (if you get the right time of year and the right day) you'll be able to see the font màgica (Magic Fountain), this fountain shoots out multi-coulered jets, but we weren't able to see those.
The Niño Viejo is a quirky Mexican restaurant which serves tacos, grills and other very tasty Mexican food. We had (in the order of the pictures), mango and jícama (Mexican yam) with lime, chamoy sauce and taquin chiles, it was quite hot but very healthy. Then we had guacamole and tortilla chips, a classic which you have to have. Then we had three tacos with mixed vegetables too... the first was with pork tenderloin inside, the second was beef, and the third was fish. Then we had braised pork, which you could put inside a little taco, and that was also very good.
I hope you guys really enjoyed reading this post, it was really fun to write, and in the comments below tell me what your favourite Mexican restaurant is.
