Los Guachos Taqueria

There are quite some authentic Mexican restaurant spotted around the town. Today, I discover another little Mexican shop that located close to Sawmill Road. Los Guachos Taqueria is a small shop and be expect to share the table when it's super busy. 

Fish/Tripe/Steak Taco

Beef Tongue Tortas

Horchata


Lime and Toppings

Their food choice is very similar to some other little Mexican Restaurant. Taco, Tortas, Quesadillas... But they do have some differentiate factors that you should give this shop a try. First, they have special wooden booth and tables. On top of that, you can choose to seat on the sliver bar table and see the chef freshly make your order. Second, they have big bowl of salsa and lime sit on top of every table. So you can top your food as your own liking.

Diamonds Ice Cream

Most people would prefer ice cream during the summer time, meanwhile some are just real wild like me, yup! I eat it in the cold as well! No matter what kind of day it is, I'm down for ice cream! Three hundreds sixty-five days per year.

Furthermore, as my craving for sweets started to kick in, I began to search till I found Diamonds Ice Cream Shop. This is a Mexican's desserts and snacks paradise located in Columbus, Ohio. They have an insane amount of ice cream flavors, paletas [popsicles], aguas frescas, and different kind of snacks.

I browsed through all of the sweets buckets, and found so many flavors in which I never thought such things would exist. Aside from a broad selections of ice cream, the staffs were very nice! After having a few samples, I decided on arroz con leche [Mexican rice pudding] and Hazelnut Ferrero. Both of these two were creamy, but not too sweet. It was just perfectly made for savoring till there's nothing left.

My friend also suggested me to try the Chicharron Preparado. On top of the crispy pig skin, bedded with cream, cueritos, cabbage, tomatoes, avocado, salsa and hot sauce. Cueritos are pork skin that pickled in vinegar and the texture is very chewy. I think this snack is very summer-like and prefect to have it while enjoying the sunshine.

I really recommend you guys to give this unique ice cream shop a try. I bet that you guys would be wowed as soon as you see their display freezers!

Hass

Beside Chipotle, Hass is the first Mexican restaurant that I visit in Columbus. The style of Hass is similar to Chipotle. You order and pay your food up front, and the cashier will give you a number tag to put on your table. Then you just sit back at the table and they will bring out the food. 

Starting out with chips and salsa. Never can go wrong with fresh and hot chips plus cool salsa. Along with two bottles of hot sauce, different level of hotness.

Half way finish up the chips, they bring out the food. Shrimp taco plus Burrito Percheron plus Tortas is on the table. 

Shrimp taco is my most favorite food of Hass. Seasoned buttered shrimp mix with cabbage and carrot salad and thousand island sauce are the prefect match with the corn tortilla. 

For the burrito percheron, it is filled with super juicy steak, mushrooms, onion, avocado cass... Even though I consider myself as a "meat-eater", but I think this burrito have too much steak that I can handle.

Steak Tortas is a kind of Mexican sandwich. The aroma of the guacamole and the steak is really strong and rich. The taste of the bread is very crunchy and soft at the same time. The steak is perfectly cook, chewy and juicy.

Horchata is my favorite Mexican drink. I always like to let it sit for awhile and let the ice melt into the drink. That way, the strong cinnamon taste will dilute a little.

The restaurant is very spacious and staffs is very nice. I would say their portion is quite big. For a little girl like me, half of the food will be my left over for lunch.
