Get ready for a spooky feast because from Friday, 25 October to Sunday, 3 November, Poca Madre is serving up a hauntingly good black menu inspired by Halloween and Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). If you're looking for a way to celebrate the spooky season with epic Mexican flavours and eerie cocktails, this is your spot.
First up, the drinks. Poca Madre is bringing some serious heat with their Black Margarita—a moody concoction made with Teremana Blanco, Cointreau, lime, and activated charcoal. Feeling brave? Go for Tommy’s Reaper Margarita, which comes with Teremana Reposado and a fiery hit of reaper chili that'll wake your senses. Beer lovers can sip on the malty goodness of Negra Modelo, or keep it non-alcoholic with a refreshing Jarritos Mexican Cola.
Now for the food—things are getting deliciously dark. Bite into their croqueta negra—crispy croquettes filled with tender pork and poblano chilli, topped with house cheese sauce. If you’re after tacos, don’t miss the charcoal fried chicken tacos, served on blue corn tortillas with smoky chipotle mayo. But the showstopper? The braised beef short rib and arroz negra, paired with blackened corn salsa for a flavour explosion. And of course, you can’t go past the warm blue corn totopos, dusted with chipotle chilli powder for the perfect spicy crunch.
Prices are a treat, too! Croquetas for $15, tacos (two for $20), the short rib at $37, and those crispy totopos for just $8. Throw in one of those killer margaritas, and you’ve got yourself the perfect spooky feast.
But be quick! This limited-time menu is only available from October 25 to November 3.
