This new Mexican place in Brunswick sounds great.
"When was the last time I had much to say about a bowl of guacamole? I can’t remember. Usually it’s fine but unremarkable, or bad but in a boring, watery, too-salty kind of way. At Mercadito, it’s presented in a bowl topped with lines of chopped red onion, coriander and green chillies; you mix it up and pile it onto chips, the ratio of fatty avocado to onions and herbs just right.
"Quite a few dishes on this menu aren’t yet common in Melbourne, and certainly aren’t done as well as they are here. A shrimp tostada is all bouncy prawns, crunchy lettuce and tart green pico de gallo piled onto crisp cracker-like tortillas. Aguachile made with snapper marinated in lime juice, avocado and cucumber is balanced, zippy fun."
