I hope I'm making sense and not confusing you. …one last thing about the salsa verde – in Tex Mex it’s usually a lighter green than what you would expect because of the tomatillos they use when they make them.

I'm not a fan of either the enchilada sauce or green chili sauce on my burrito. Usually when you want your burrito topped off with the red sauce you tell them to "make it enchi style" - at least that's what you told them in California, Arizona and New Mexico. :) Sancho's was ok, but it didn't make me happy to eat there. I've eaten at Salsa Salsaa in the Sahara Mall in Gurgaon. If I had to choose between the two, I'd take Sancho's because I am a big fan of guacamole. :) Salsa Salsaa didn't have any. I'm not really a fan of Tex-Mex, though. But Sancho's sure does hit that Mexican food craving spot.

Could it be possible for some one to post a PDF file of the menus and pictures of the restarurants? I am a food scholar doing a project on what I am calling "The Mexican Migrent: Images & Flavours of Mexican Food in Four Continents." My trips to India have been rather short, and I was not infromed about these places in my last two trips there. Thank for any further information on this.

Say what you will about Sancho's ambiance, but Amigo seems like the designers intended to continue Delhi's string of uninspired neo-contemporary restaurant-cum-lounge mentality. Why? As far as the food goes, I don't know what they are serving in place of tortilla chips, but I can only describe them as round, greasy, soggy wafers of questionable composition. I will give them props for their guacamole, which blows Sancho's away in both taste and value - but bring your own tortilla chips (I did). The rest of the food I have tried is over-priced and doesn't taste Mexican at all to me. The drinks from the bar are also atrocious and over-priced compared to Sancho's, which is one of my favorite taste-for-value bars in the city at the moment.

Food is superb though slightly expensive. This restaurant is in the same commercial complex that houses Mainland China at Masjid Moth.

Usually burritos only come with salsa roja (red sauce), which you have on one side of the burrito. But the other green sauce - I'm puzzled. It doesn't look like salsa verde, because salsa verde is dark green (on closer inspection, it basically looks like pureed avocado). I'm surprised the habanero wasn't exceptionally hot. You should try some of the taco places in LA catering exclusively to Mexican immigrants, where a splash of the salsa roja made with habanero is enough to set your mouth ablaze. It's a completely addictive kick. You should really convince the Mexican chef to introduce Mexican dishes on the menu. I'm convinced that Mexican food (as opposed to Tex-Mex) should have a greater appeal for Indians, given the variety of vegetables and peppers used. What is that green sauce on top of the burrito?
