Lounge Hospitality has launched their second Mexican restaurant, Sanchez Taquería and Cantina on 12th Main in Indiranagar, Bengaluru. The menu, curated by chef and culinary director Vikas Seth, comprises tacos created at a live taquería and bespoke, fusion drinks crafted from fresh and natural ingredients at an open bar.
Speaking about the new launch, Siddharth Mankani, director, Lounge Hospitality said, “Sanchez’s maiden outlet in UB City is renowned for its authentic Mexican fare with a menu that travels to the heart of the country.”
“With this launch, we would like to give the city a taste of Mexican cuisine that is still largely unexplored. We have an array of modern dishes and authentic Mexican culinary techniques and ingredients that we will be using to create these,” he added.
Karan Virwani, director, said, “We are very excited to expand our reach to Indiranagar and this new Sanchez will help us to continue pushing boundaries and bring forth enhanced dining experiences to the city.”
“The Taquería has a fun, contemporary vibe with its live counters and experiential dining concepts which will enable us to connect with a younger audience as well,” he added.
The live taco bar where you can watch your tacos being crafted is the highlight of the new restaurant. Made with natural colours and ingredients, Seth blends traditional flavours of Mexico with his Sanchez touch.
The popular variants include the Mexican Blue Corn Hard Tacos, Sea-flavoured Charcoal Corn Tacos, Modern Soft Roasted Beet Corn Tacos, Healthy Soft Spinach Corn Tacos, Nutritious Grated Carrot Corn Taco and Soft Flour Tacos.
Besides tacos, there are the widely popular avocado toasts made from in-house Bolillo bread with a bunch of Sanchez’s tasty interpretations to it.
The Oaxacan Style Tortilla Soup, aptly known as the queen of soups in Mexican cuisine and the Tlalpeño Broth made of pulled chicken, rice and chickpeas and served with slices of lemon, cilantro leaves, chopped onion, avocado and chipotle on side, are highlights of the menu.
It also includes traditional Garnachas and Chilaquiles, and Tex-Mex Wet Burritos topped with a choice of sauces.
The Margarita variations are based on seasonal fruits. The Avocado Margarita is very popular.
Other concoctions include the tangy whiskey-based Munchkin Bliss with a dash of chilli and the fruity Galaxy Sling, made from gin, elderflower, kiwi and apple juice.
The beverage menu also comprises other Mexican concoctions like the Micheladas and a range of Tequilas.
The dessert section of the menu includes Dark Chocolate Guacamole made with creamy mashed avocado, which is a great option for vegans, and the Dulce de leche Ice Cream Taco decorated with chocolate pearls, caramel popcorn and cinnamon sugar stars.
Seth has over a decade of experience in Mexican cuisine and has been on multiple culinary journeys across Mexico.
Speaking about the new restaurant, he said, “With Sanchez Taquería and Cantina, we turn to explore the brilliance of tacos, albeit with the special Sanchez twist.”
“In keeping with our philosophy of offering food that is fresh and flavoursome, we have recreated the modern taquería experience complete with live taco rolling. We are creating the original and classic versions and for the adventurist in you we have a range of playful combinations of tacos and avocado toasts,” he added.
We also have our favourites from UB City like the Live Guacamole, Sanchez Fiesta Nachos, Tamale served cocooned in corn husk, the Lamb Barbacoa, and of course, the very popular dessert Tres Leches,” Seth said.
