Mama Lita Mexican Restaurant


When Lita's first opened I stopped by but there was no carne asada so I never ate there, it closed down for some time but has reopened a couple of months ago. As recommended by one of the General Dynamic guys I decided to give it a try. Khalid, the owner is Kuwaiti-Mexican and brought a chef from Mexico to cook. 




 Horchata.....Yum!!!!!!! After taking a sip it reminded me of California
 Roberto the Mexican chef, yes from Mexico, not Filipino as one blogger thought.
 Mama Lita's nachos
 Pico de gallo, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
 Carne asada burrito with red and green salsa
I had to try the barbacoa tacos and instantly I was taken back to the weekend in Tijuana with friends who had to have tacos at 3 a.m. Barbacoa slow roasted beef and pico de gallo, simple but oh so good.
 
They serve tamales but were out at the time because the corn masa was running low, I will be back to try those as well. Everything is made fresh and I want the recipe for the pico de gallo! There were so many other items I wanted to try but I was totally full. My only concerns were the carne asada was small strips of beef not actually the same cut as we get in the states and the prices are a little steep. I know it's more expensive because most of the ingredients are imported but I will go again.
 
I really need to meet some Mexican ladies who will invite me over for dinner! The restaurant is open from 4 am- 11 pm and they deliver all over Kuwait.

Rowdy Taco Kuwait

My sister and I attended the grand opening of Rowdy Taco last week and we had a great time! Rowdy Taco aka Rusty Taco is from Texas and offers a wide selection of tacos. They are open 24 hours and located in Alia and Ghalia Towers or Fintas Towers as the Americans call it.
 Managers from Texas
 Nachos
     Fish tacos, shrimp tacos, beef and chicken tacos
 Quesadilla and chicken salad

They serve breakfast burritos all day, unfortunately they didn't have any dessert tacos thanks to Kuwaiti customs holding onto their special flour. I definitely want to try dessert once customs releases the flour from jail.
