Afterwit - Mexican Taqueira

Had a great catch-up with friends over tacos at Afterwit!

Loved my order of Birria Beef Taco ($20). Beefy, cheesy, oh-so-juicy and a tinge tangy-sweet with the salsa. Generously filled with well-seasoned meat and melted mozzarella, the charcoal tortillas (said to be prepared fresh daily) were pretty nifty to pick up as well - holding the moist filling nicely and providing tender-chewy bites though tbh I still made quite a mess. The lamb consomme served on the side was delightfully umami too, giving the comforting meat flavours a boost.

this was really good!! i got the beef option (you can also choose lamb or chicken) and they gave a pretty decent amount of beef (although its not really obvious in the picture). also served with lamb consomme which was the ✨highlight✨ to me because it was made so well and so flavourful! the shop itself also had really nice and rustic vibes 🤩🤩

Soft shell tacos usually aren't up my alley but in this case I didn't mind. On the pricier end for tacos at $15 for 2 but they were filling and well worth the pricetag imo.

My friend ordered this for me as a takeaway and they were generously filled with pulled beef and cheese, just the right amount of savory and spicy. The whole dish is an umami explosion, in a good way, and I found it funny that they included quail eggs—a first for me, but they didn't really do anything flavor wise. It is served with some soft onions on the side and tomato purée in which I enjoyed dipping my tacos in.

My only complaint...... This was a takeaway and the dish, overflowing with gravy and meat is incredibly messy to eat. I really wish they provided cutlery without being asked because I had to eat this in a public work area and I just hope to god no one saw me while I was eating this. They did provide 4 napkins along with the order however, which I found myself needing for the meal.

Ordered the chipotle chicken & garlic mushroom couscous burrito bowls. A little towards the bland side so if you’re looking for something healthier...this might be it!

Slightly on the pricier side as the food wasn’t spectacular. Lamb was dry, cheese and guacamole could have more. Tried their tacos as well and it wasn’t extremely good, and my friend mentioned that previously it was better.

Coffee braised beef and could really taste the slight bitterness to the dish and it felt weird. Meat chunks were nice and tender + there were other more chewy parts too.

Thought the tacos were a little bit oily so we felt a bit jelak mid-way.

Still feel the octopus tacos are their best - flavour combo spicy and sour with the octopus cooked perfectly is just yumz.
