Mundo: The Heart of Mexican Food in the World Market Center, pt. 2

Mundo’s food and drink revealed...

Be sure to check out Part 1 for Mundo’s cover review.

To Start

Chicken and Skirt Steak Skewers: Quality cuts of meat release spectacular flavor and a whirlwind of spices.  A chimichurri glaze with diced avocado adds a smooth undertone alongside the beef. 

Tortilla Soup: Roasted chiles add bold character to a seasoned vegetable broth that finishes strong but not too spicy.  Oaxaca cheese and homemade tortilla strips add thick and crunchy components to complete the soup’s composition.

Ahi Tostada: Mexican food gains a sushi-like element with raw ahi tuna served over crisp tortilla, finished with sour cream and red chile vinaigrette.  Fewer spices go into this dish, making it stand rather light compared to the rest of the menu.

Entrees

Prime Ribeye: Quality cuts of meat soak in a robust chipotle chile sauce for hearty taste that embodies that of true Mexican food.

Pork Tenderloin: Soft consistency and juicy character take on an ancho chile glaze that balances sweet and savory.

Sea Scallops: The creative addition of seasoned avocado leaf crust adds crisp texture and a zesty undertone.  Served over spiced rice with mango relish for a sweet and fiery touch.

Shrimp Diablo: Roasted shrimp with chile and garlic sauce releases bold smoky flavor, complemented by corn rice, homemade tortilla, and a drizzle of chipotle.

Garden Enchiladas: Stuffed with soft white Chihuahua cheese, this traditional favorite is cooked with roasted tomato garlic sauce and crema fresca for a wholesome finish.

Sides

Mexican Style Street Corn: This rich, robust mixture of sweet corn, chile arbol, cotija cheese, and a dash of citrus should be a top priority for anyone’s meal.

Mexican Risotto: Commonly known as ‘arroz con crema,’ this order throws a number of Mexican cheeses in with traditional rice for a rich dish with thick consistency.

Sweet Corn Tamale: Made with refined Mexican brown sugar, this light side holds distinct taste but finishes a bit dry, though it goes nicely in any sauce that may come with your entrée.

Desserts

Mexican Donut Holes: This intriguing dessert strays away from the typical Mexican ‘postre.’  Rich and slightly sweet, these creations go excellently with the Mexican chocolate sauce served alongside.
