Amigos, aka the best Mexican restaurant EVER..

St Kilda is Melbourne's equivalent to Bondi, and being the Sydneysider that I am: I don't like it. However, we found a little Mexican restaurant called Amigos along Acland Street which has given me a reason to possibly return to St Kilda in the future. It was actually the yummiest Mexican food I've ever tasted (although thinking about it, my experience of Mexican food is limited to Las Iguanas in Brighton and Dave's Ol El Paso fajitas).

We had a delicious starter of corn chips with chilli con queso - a cheese dip with roasted garlic and capsicum served warm. This was pure calories and fat in a bowl, but we still managed to get through it! For our main course we shared fajitas with chicken, chorizo and roasted vegetables plus all the usual trimmings: they were absolutely gorgeous and I was actually really quite sad when they were finished!

Luckily just across the road there was an "award-winning" gelateria called 7 apples, which was beckoning us for dessert. Despite being really full, there is always a reserve space in my stomach for dessert: I had two scoops of different gelato - peanut butter and turkish delight - both delicious, and Dave also had two scoops, although he doesn't have the memory for food that I do and can't remember what he chose (I think one of them was honeycomb?). A yummy way to end a yummy dinner!
