I have to tell you about one thing that happened – something very small, but something that made a very positive impression on us.Īs Ari served our drinks, his arm accidentally brushed up against the top of Peter’s water glass.
Peter went with your basic margarita – another benchmark by which one can judge the quality of a Mexican restaurant!īoth drinks were delicious, not too strong, perfect. Our sweet waiter, Ari, extolled the virtues of the sangria so that’s what I chose. What’s a good Mexican dinner without the appropriate beverages? So yummy that we considered ordering another one for dessert! This was a melt in your mouth, sweet treat. Presented beautifully, diners are invited to cut the kernels off the cob and enjoy. Grilled street corn with cilantro crema, crumbled cojita cheese, paprika and lime. Normally, Peter and I would order some guacamole to go with our chips but something else caught our eye. They served two kinds of delicious salsa – mild and habanero pepper. The chips at Uno Mas were the thin and crispy kind, done to perfection. I like my chips either thick and crunchy (bonus points if they are warm) or thin and crispy, with just the right amount of salt. The first clue to how much I’m going to like a Mexican restaurant comes with the chips and salsa. But, sadly, they are not in our neighborhood. Peter and I are huge fans of Rick Bayless and his Topolobampo and Frontera Grill restaurants and we visit as often as we can.
Not the Taco Bell type (although there is a time and a place for a good chalupa) but really interesting, delicious, Mexican food. Since moving back from California, one thing we have missed has been good Mexican food. Uno Mas – The Glen Town Center – Glenview Uno Mas recently opened in The Glen Town Center, taking the place of another Mexican restaurant whose claim to “fame” was their margaritas made with grain alcohol. We have a new favorite restaurant in town.
