My first Mexican dining experience is given to Fresca Mexican Restaurant & Bar at The Gardens Mall. It is located just opposite Han's Room. This Mexican restaurant has a cosy and nice ambience. Service was good too as when we arrived, the workers there warmly greeted us and quickly arrange our seating place for us and handling us the menu. We ordered the following as our drinks:
Mango juice (RM 9.50)
A very good pure mango juice. This mango juice is very thick with very little water in it, unlike those diluted mango juice in some places where it is diluted with water. Another good thing is I don't think they added sugar into the juice, even if they added in, it must be very little because all I can taste is mango's natural sweetness and not from sugar. Very refreshing.

Avocado juice (RM 12.00)
The avocado juice is not bad either because it is very thick and rich in avocado but the taste is on the bland side as they did not add in sugar as well.

Before my friend and I start off our main dishes at Fresca, we had the following Guacamole with chips as our starter. Guacamole name comes from the Aztec translation of 'Guac' meaning avocado, and 'Mole' meaning sauce.
Great!
Guacamole with chips (RM20.00)
This starter came with a basket of Tortilla chips which is made of corn and avocado sauce as the dipping. The avocado is mashed and have similar texture with mashed potato. The difference it that the avocado is more creamy, thick and rich. The combination of the crispy chips and the dipping gives an interesting flavor to my palate. After finishing all the chips, we have plenty of the dippings left, but we still finished the dippings cause it was good.

Since there were only two of us, we ordered only two main dishes as the following at Fresca for our lunch.
Great!
Enchiladas Verdes (RM15)
Enchiladas Verdes is actually corn tortillas stuffed with shredded chicken covered in salsa verde and gratin-cheese finish.

Great!
Lots of shredded chicken were given but I don't really fancy the shredded chicken because I find them a bit dry. Not enough gravy. But when eaten together with the cheese, the chicken taste better as the cheese give the chicken a creamy and rich flavor.
Tacos Ensenada (RM 19.00)
Tacos Ensenada is a dish originated from Ensenada, Baja California. Tacos Ensenada is actually beer battered fish topped with coleslaw wrapped with flour tortillas. The addition of the coleslaw gives a crunchy texture to this dish. Supposedly the fish's batter contains beer but I can't taste the beer. To me, the fish tasted like the normal deep fried fish used in fish and chips and is slightly oily. The price for this dish is quite pricey as only 3 tacos ensenada being given.
