I'm quite familiar about Mexican cuisine, as I have Mexican classmates when I studied overseas few years ago.
One of the factors making Mexican food so irresistible, is because of it's a blend of different cultures. Its distinct blend of spices, seasonings and vibrant colors create a beautiful presentation.
Corn is one of the main ingredient, which you can find in Taco and Nacho. There is a lot of health benefit about the corn.

If you are finding a great place serving great Mexican food in Johor Bahru, come and try this newly open restaurant- 1875 The Mex.
It located very near to Tesco Extra Plentong, previously the shop known as Uncle Tom's Tavern.


The owner of 1875 The Mex, the lovely couple- Shawn and Gail, decided to bring the great western cuisine to Johor Bahru. Shawn has vast experience in working as chef in big-chain hotel, while Gail is helping him to operate the restaurant.
Taco - a popular Mexican street food consisting of tortilla folded around a filling, which is the great start if you don't know what to eat at 1875 The Mex.
The meat is marinated with rich flavoring, not salty, but a kind of nature seasoning which make it very delicious.

Personally, I highly recommend the nacho, which is served together with beef-minced and fresh avocado mesh and sour cream on the top of nacho. If you are avocado lover, this nacho is something must-try. The avocado has make this nacho special.

Nacho

There are chicken wings, which cooked in Chipotle Pineapple and lime. I can feel the sweetness from the pineapple, well match with the chicken wings.

Besides the starter, there are variety of main courses can be chosen.
Personally I really like their burger. As you see clearly what the ingredients in between, including sauteed mushroom cheddar cheese maple grilled bacon balsamic & onion jam beef patty & garlic aioli.
It's really attractive to see the cheese melted on the top of bacon. The flavoring used by chef make the burger really juicy.

Try their salmon too, which cooked with lime and chili butter. The flesh is soft and fresh.

I tried their ribeye steak in a level of medium. It's really thick and firm, but not tough.
It's really a succulent steak, which is great match together with the vegetable and potato as the side dishes.

Well, to my surprise, the chef makes the dessert too by himself. Both mud pie and apple pie are in the acceptable sweetness, which make me want to have more after a bite.
The chocolate pie beneath with cookies, the cake and thick chocolate layer on the top.

Overall, what I like the most about this restaurant will be their ingredient choice. This restaurant may not have the fancy interior decoration compare to other fine dining restaurant, but they really concern and choose the best, freshest ingredients to cook their food. You just need to pay much more less than some fine dining restaurant in JB, and you still can get quality western cuisine.
