Breakfast burrito filled with delicious hash brown
2016-07-10  2777 瀏覽
Got the breakfast burrito at Cali-Mex because it has a hash brown in it.
The hash brown at Cali-Mex is really nice because it is made of finely shredded potato.
It would be good if you could choose the hash brown as a choice like spinach so that there are more choices for the vegetarian breakfast bowls.
The current choices for breakfast bowls are spinach, bacon and chorizo.
Every bite of the burrito was delicious, the gooey cheese, tangy salsa, scrambled eggs and delicious bacon.
It was a bit messy to eat hence there are no pictures.

Spinach Quesadilla

Discovered on Facebook that they have a new vegetarian Spinach Quesadilla so I got it for dinner.
Although it is vegetarian, the FULL portion is enough for three people to share.
The quesadilla was delicious and loaded with spinach and cheese which went nicely with the guacamole, salsa and sour cream.

I love the breakfast bowls here so got the bacon one.

All day breakfast Crispy bacon bowl:

I love their bowls but the breakfast bowl is even better because it comes with fried egg or scrambled egg.
Since I have already tried the fried egg version, I got the scrambled egg which tastes really nice with the cheese.
For sauces, I tried the medium this time which is red in colour but not that spicy.
The bacon was good but not all of it was crispy and the rice was cold while the portion was small compared to other bowls that they serve for the same price.

Little Burro used to be the only Mexican place in CWB but now there is Cali-Mex.
Spotted it earlier when they had bright boards around it.
Now they are open!

Tried the breakfast which was only served in the mornings before and now it is served ALL DAY! Hoooray!

All day breakfast Crispy bacon bowl:
I love their bowls but the breakfast bowl is even better because there are fried eggs.
The runny egg yolk with the guacamole and salsa tastes so amazing and beneath the sauces there is tasty Mexican rice and my favourite refried beans.
I also added extra spinach for $8 but it wasn't really necessary because the bacon was good enough as it was crispy and delicious but it would be great if the whole bacon was crispy.
Unfortunately, one of the new pressed juice flavours was sold out so I got a bottle of coke instead.

I was on my way to Flaming Frango's when I was given a flyer for a free frozen Margarita.
There was already a crowd there but I managed to get one.
I chose the strawberry which was sweet with a hint of Tequila.

[Review 3901] Hong Kong style Roast duck burrito @ Cali-Mex Taqueria

Saw on Cali-Mex's facebook that they were going to serve this Hong Kong style Roast duck burrito with whole USA Duck roasted to perfection sliced onto their homemade 12” tortilla served with Mexican rice, sliced cucumber, fine leek, fresh cabbage and a special fusion chipotle mayo hoisin sauce.

When I ordered I was asked them if they did a bowl version and they must have thought I wanted a bowl version which is why it was not a burrito.

The duck burrito bowl was good but the hoisin sauce in the mixture was not prominent enough and there was not enough sauce to give it that kick.

I felt that if there was more hoi sin sauce then it would have made it tastier because hoi sin sauce contains yellow beans which has that beanie kick to it that is similar to magic of refried beans.

As soon as I saw this place being done up I just couldn't wait for it to open.
The exciting thing is that there are four branches and the one at LKF is open till late.
In the UK it is usally a greasy kebab after clubbing but in Hong Kong the trend will be burritos!
I tried the first branch as soon as it opened on Wellington street.
When you go in, you are greeted with Mexican sodas and warm orange decor.
There is seating upstairs and this branch is a mirror image of the Wanchai branch where the stairs and food counters are on the other side.

Before you order, you can see the delicious sauces, salads and meats.
The crispy shell bowls are huge!!!
There was a tray filled with avocados, a key ingredient for guacamole.

Choices are headaches because all of them are good.

First you choose your filling then you decide whether you want a taco, quesadilla, burrito bowl/burritos or the crispy shell bowl!!

I had my eye on the Spinach and Venice beach, but in the end I got the Venice beach because there were so many ingredients in it that i haven't tried such as tofu sour cream and vegan mock chicken which the other Mexican places in Hong Kong don't offer.


I loved the bowls here because they are flatter than the ones at Little Burro which makes it easier to eat.
Each mouthful was tasty with rice, lettuce, tasty sauce, guacamole and salsa.
To be honest I was still hungry after the bowl!!

Luckily, I shared a chicken quesadilla with someone and that was amazing, I loved the melted cheese in between with the chicken, sour cream and guacamole.
The quesadilla was soft and crispy.


After I finished, I sampled the fillings and I must admit the chicken in ranchero sauce was so tangy with gorgeous herbs to flavour it.
They used white meat and it was tender and soft.

The pork in chipotle BBQ sauce was nice and smokey and the pork was fresh.

Both tasted strong which go well in tacos and burritos.
