Walking home from work the other night, we were in the mood for Mexican food. After some pre-dinner tapas, we stopped at La Leyenda del Agave in the Salamanca district. First up were some Negra Modelo beers, a good change of pace from the ubiquitous Mahou that we've been drinking for the last six months.
Drinks in hand, we surveyed the scene and the extensive menu (see video above). We settled on guacamole and chips as a starter (about 6 euro). Then, we moved on to a mixed plate of meats with cochinita pibil and carnitas (about 14 euro).
We were slightly disappointed by the tortillas, but we admit that we have high standards here. Having grown up in Texas and having lived in Northern Mexico, we dream of fresh, warm corn tortillas. La Leyenda's tortillas are made of flour, and they're not half bad, but nothing special either. (We might just have fond memories of the corn tortillas we ate at La Neta in Stockholm, Sweden.)
