A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

Mexicado is located at the Hyatt resort, just a few doors down from where we are staying at the Radisson. This Mexican restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating and an extensive tequila list.

Mexicado is located one level below the lobby next to the Hyatt’s other restaurant, Ruinas del Mar.

The decor is simple and understated. The bar highlights some of the tequilas that the restaurant has to offer and there’s a great long high top table for large parties.

We ordered the guacamole, made table side. It was good, but I would have liked the flavors to have been a little bolder.

The chicken tortilla soup ($9) with shredded chicken, corn tortilla, avocado, onion, tomatoes, chipotle, chili, oregano, cilantro ($9) was delicious – not spicy at all.

The empanadas de carnitas ($12), corn pastries filled, marinated beef, salsa roja, sour cream ($12) were delicious, I wish that the portions were a bit bigger for this appetizer.

Mushroom quesadillas ($13), button mushroom, Mexican cheeses, onions, peppers ($13) were delicious. Simple ingredients and great flavors.

Tacos carnitas ($9), slow braised pork, cilantro, onion, guacamole, flour tortilla were tasty.

Overall the meal was good – a little on the pricey side ($6 for a side of rice?!?!), but good. Service was good at the beginning but trailed off at the end. Great place for families and groups.
