Top table: Adelaide’s Mamacita offers fantastic Mexican

by James Wilkinson

Mamacita, a trailblazing new concept in Mexican cuisine and drink at Tryp by Wyndham Pulteney Street Adelaide, has fast become one of the city’s new hot spots.

Mamacita is a must-visit location for the tequila afficionado, with shelves devoted to a collection of more than 50 tequilas (and climbing).

Guests can choose from an enviable range of margaritas – or to build their own – and to heat their meal with chilli sauces featured on a scale ranging from mild to eye-wateringly hot, one of which requires a waiver to taste.

Mexican classics including delicious tacos, quesadillas, nachos, chipotle marinated chicken, chicken wings and pork ribs all feature on the menu, alongside more adventurous choices for the gastronome: carne asada with 12-hour slow roasted and marinated scotch fillet, cured king fish in lemon and lime, and yuca fries made from the yuca root, commonly found in South America and the Pacific.

Alongside the plentiful tequilas, Mamacita offers mezcals, which feature a scrumptious smokiness developed during the distillation process.

Mamacita’s cocktail list is also extensive and features 14 margaritas at present count, although guests are invited to request their favourite cocktails and one of the experienced bartenders can make them using the bar’s wide range of spirits.

The new 120-room TRYP by Wyndham Pulteney Street Adelaide, located at 266 Pulteney St, is part of a unique, urban, boutique brand that embodies the local flavour, rhythm and beat of cities around the world, making it the perfect place for a new foodie concept like Mamacita to call home.
