Do a salsa and more at Miss Margarita in South Delhi

Mexican food has a number of ingredients Indians love, and Miss Margarita in South Delhi taps into this

I like the word salsa, and all that it denotes, from dance and music to food. That explains, to an extent, why Mexican food appeals to me. It is, after all, a glorious mix of fluid and tonal flavours. It is also the cuisine that a talented young chef called Noah Barnes has been focusing on. I’d had some delicious Mexican food at his restaurant Arriba some years ago, and still remember the taste of the habanero-smoked pork skewers, flavoured with honey and served with a hot chilli sauce. The chef now runs a new restaurant called Miss Margarita (Ph no 8920331591; M block market, GK 2), which specialises in Mexican food. Chef Barnes, who learnt the nuances of Mexican cooking from the former ambassador of Mexico in India, and a visiting master chef at the embassy, prepares various kinds of tortillas, quesadillas, tacos and more.
