VACA - Mexicansk Mad Amager — Restaurant in Copenhagen Municipality

Had 2 Madre Favorita burritos. Staff seemed friendly and the place is well decorated.

While the whole burrito was tasty overall, the portion is quite small. One burrito is basically the size of your palm. I’m okay with this, because I paid 75kr, during the lunch offer. Had I paid 109 the usual price, I would have been disappointed.

What was disappointing though, was that the burrito was missing beans (it says it should have), it was mostly rice, little meat and I did not notice any cheese inside.

I’ve eaten from other VACA restaurants, and I was satisfied. But for this one in Amager, the flavor is a 4/5, but the content and size are...

First time trying VACA and long time since I've had mexican food but I was quite impressed it tasted great the beef was perfect and the cheese was also great but like other reviews say the portion size is really tiny, (especially when compared to the menu pictures) luckily it was only lunch and I wasn't super hungry... But all in all the staff was excellent (although inexperienced) but very kind, and the atmosphere was very cozy...

VACA – Mexicansk Mad Amager byder på en fin introduktion til mexicanske smagsnuancer i et enkelt og lyst lokale. Menuen rummer alt fra sprøde tacos til farverige bowls, og råvarerne føles friske og velvalgte. Salsasauserne har god syre, og guacamolen er cremet uden at blive for tung.

Smagen er generelt god, men der manglede et særligt twist, der kunne løfte oplevelsen fra “godt” til “mindeværdigt”. Man savner måske nogle autentiske krydderier eller hjemmelavede elementer – fx en ekstra dybde i chilisaucen eller et røget element, som fanger dét rå mexicanske præg.

Prismæssigt endte regningen på omkring 400 kr. for to personer, hvor vi delte flere forskellige retter. Det er i den højere ende, når der ikke er rigtig “højttalende” signatur-retter eller unikke smagsoplevelser, man husker bagefter. Portionerne var fine til deling, men man sidder tilbage med fornemmelsen af, at man betaler for et pænt lokale og friske råvarer mere end for et autentisk mexikansk måltid.

Kort sagt: VACA er et solidt valg, hvis du vil have en pæn, hurtig mexicansk frokost eller aftensmad på Amager med friske råvarer og venligt personale. Men hvis du leder efter den ægte og unikke mexicanske smag til en højere pris, findes der måske mere autentiske alternativer...
