Authentic
Mexican food is almost hard to find in Delhi restaurants, but with Arriba, one
can now sit back, relax and enjoy the authentic Mexican delicacies in a cozy
and comfortable atmosphere, tucked away in the Asiad Village Complex. Special mention to the people, who are
extremely hospitable and make you feel special and wanted right at the entrance
and till your entire food experience at Arriba gets over. The manager Simant,
and the head chef Noah Barnes personally take care of each and every guest and
go on to explain the nitty gritties of sourcing the ingredients and spices and
what goes behind creating the authentic Mexican dishes.
For
drinks, Margarita’s are a specialty of this place, and you must take chef’s
recommendation to try out the best.
Starters:
Salsa
Carnival: This truly is a carnival of different types of salsa, each better
than the best, served with homemade tortilla chips. Mango Coriander &
Habanero, Watermelon Togarashi & Feta, Fresh & Pickled Jalapeño,
Charred Tomato and Spiced Green Tomato, were the varieties of salsas served,
and each one of them was delectable, I could just go on and on with it.
Chicken
Torts: These mini chicken sliders are definitely a must have on the list, I
personally loved them and can back for them anytime. They tasted just awesome,
the chicken was juicy and tender, and for me they have become an all time
favorite.
Fish
Taco Bites: Whatever I say for these, the words won’t be sufficient enough, It
was simply one of the best dish I have ever eaten, these bite size tacos were a
mouth melting experience. I can still feel the taste and all I can say is that
do not give them a miss at any cost.
Prawn
Diablo: A word of caution here, though Noah warned me that these were spicy, I
went ahead and ate, but man, spicy they were. I mean they were truly hot and
reminded me of those spicy food-eating challenges that we often see on TV
programs. The sauce was super awesome, but you would need another helping of
Salsa Carnival to ease out your burning taste buds after this, nevertheless
those who like spices, or challenges, do give it a try.
Drinks:
Watermelon
Margarita: One of the most refreshing drinks I had, and make a perfect summer
companion.
Assorted
Margaritas: Loved the mango and pineapple flavored margaritas out of the lot
and I would highly recommend taking chef’s suggestion in guiding you to order
the best drink as per your liking.
Mains:
Fajita
Chicken Enchiladas: These were simply the best one could ask for, and without a
doubt in your head, just go for it
Shrimp
Tacos: Out of all the dishes I had, this was the most regular item, because
others were exceptionally great. So I wont rate this one very high, it was
good, but not great.
Cottage
Cheese Skewers: These were a combination of sweet potato, cottage cheese and zucchini
skewers and for vegetarians it's a delight. It was a very perfectly spiced dish
and sweet potatoes never tasted better.
Desserts:
Churros
with Chocolate Sauce: This was delectable, the churros were both soft and
crispy and the chocolate sauce was just perfect to go along. There was a
variation of chilli chocolate sauce too, but I settled for the regular one
only.
Tequila
Lime Cheese Cake: Well, wont comment much on this one, it was good, but
personally I liked the churros better.
Ambience:
Cozy
and Comfortable, both indoor and outdoor seating.
Staff:
Very
very hospitable
Service:

Overall Rating:
