Salsa wrap

Another Tex-Mex takeout joint in Colaba

Oh great, another Tex-Mex takeout  joint? 
And a terribly unimaginative one  at that. Salsa wrap serves up  mushroom, paneer, Jain, chicken,  and even shrimp burritos, nachos  and quesadillas out of a tiny space  on Wodehouse Road. Sounds  simple enough. The only things  the place needed to get right were  the salsa, guacamole and sour  cream. Everything else is readymade  (cheese, taco shells), raw  (veggies), boiled (rajma, chicken)  or grilled (shrimp, paneer). But  when has that ever stopped things  from going wrong?

So, we’re not going to exclaim “Ay  caramba” when we’re done? 
More likely “aiyayo”! We tried the  chicken tacos (chewy meat, soggy  lettuce, sour salsa and far too  much salty Amul cheese) and the  bean quesadillas which wasn’t  grilled enough so we got a soggy  chapatti filled with what tasted like  remains from last night’s rajma.  As for the guacamole, let’s just  say, no avocado was killed in the  making of that dip. We shudder to  think why it was green. 

Wait, how pricey is this place? 
It is pretty cheap. The burritos  average at about R100 a pop and  servings of tacos and nachos are  about R85 but hey, affordability  is no excuse for mediocrity.
