The Texture-Driven Milanesa y Aguacate Taco at Chalino Cantina

Written Review:

Chalino Cantina y Mezcal, nestled at the Nomad Experience boutique hotel and hostel outside Cancun’s hotel zone, delivered a satisfying textural experience with their Milanesa y Aguacate (breaded chicken and avocado) taco. As a reminder, I’ve been unable to taste or smell since COVID in April 2021, so I rate food based on texture and the balance of salty, sweet, savory, and combinations thereof. The taco came wrapped in a soft yet sturdy corn tortilla that held up perfectly to the juicy fillings. The breaded chicken was exceptionally crispy, with a light saltiness that reminded me of chicharrones (fried pork skin), providing a delightful crunch. The contrast with the creamy avocado was spot on, as the avocado's buttery texture added a smooth layer that balanced the crispness of the chicken. A generous portion of cilantro and white onion added brightness, while the radish gave a sharp, refreshing tang that rounded out the taco’s flavor and texture profile. The chicken itself could have been a bit thicker for an added juicy tenderness to complement the breading, but overall, the taco was well-balanced, crisp, and satisfying. I couldn’t detect the exact spices, but it wasn’t overly spicy, making it accessible and enjoyable. I gave this taco a 7.5 for its impressive crunch, juiciness, and texture. If you're in Cancun, I highly recommend visiting Chalino Cantina y Mezcal to try their Milanesa y Aguacate taco — it's a flavor-packed bite worth savoring!
