Enduro

Enduro is a new yuppy Mexican restaurant that recently opened in the Lefferts Garden neighborhood of Brooklyn. The first time I went there was back in December with Samantha and her parents. I had the fish tacos, which were delicious. The fish is lightly battered, fried and served with a citrus-flavored cole slaw. Not too heavy and perfectly filling. I went there again last night with Amar, after a lovely trip to the Target at the Gateway Shopping Center. Target recently started carrying Boots beauty products! I wandered into the Boots aisle in the pharmacy section and thought I was back in London. Oh Boots...the most amazing drug store known to man...they really should expand into the US market, it would put Duane Reade and CVS to shame. Anyway, so where was I...right..Enduro. This time I had the Wild Mushroom quesadillas, which was delicious as well. The presentation was great - red, green and mole sauce lightly drizzled on top. Amar had the Beef Burrito, which was pretty good, but not as the quesadillas. For dessert, we had the vanilla ice-cream crepe: two giant scoops of vanilla ice-cream wrapped in crepes, topped with chocolate sauce and candied pecans (or was it walnuts? some sort of nut.) Overall, a great meal. For two entrees, dessert and drinks (two beers), the bill came out to about $35. Lastly, I need to mention the decor. The restaurant is cozy, with exposed wooden beams and orange walls. There is also working fireplace, which makes the place nice and toasty. Great place to go on a cold winter night! And to think we almost ended up at Taco Bell.
