A u00c2u0080u00c2u0088peek into the menu of Coma Coma, a new Mexican food delivery joint that opened last weekend at Bandra, is enough to put you into food coma. Going beyond just nachos and tacos, we spotted a huge variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian burritos and burrito bowls, tortas (a Mexican-style sandwich served in oblong toasted breads) and empanadas. Gluttony beckoned and we decided to order a few options from each section.

A highly anglicised voice of one of the owners greeted us when we called to check if they deliver to the eastern side of Bandra. Unfortunately, the deliveries are restricted to Bandra (W) and Khar (W). Feeling Mafiosi-like in a scene from Narcos, we waited to pick up our food outside The Daily, at the border of the two suburbs, which we had arranged as the meeting spot.

Burrito haven Our order arrived in sturdy, cheery pink cardboard boxes within the promised 40-minute delivery time. We started with Jackpot Burrito ('340). It stayed true to its name till the last bite. Neatly packed with cajun-spiced potato chunks, pasilla beans (resembling rajma, the beans were cooked with a dried chilli pepper called pasilla) and short-grain rice, the dish offered the perfect balance of flavours, coming through the paper-thin tortilla roll.

Another winner was Barbacoa ('380), a heavenly burrito bowl featuring barbecued and shredded carabeef doused in ancho-serrano sauce (a type of chilli pepper sauce) laid over a bed of rice and beans. Hands down, it was one of the best versions of carabeef we&rsquo;ve had in a long time.

Torta tattle Eager to try the Mexican version of a sandwich, we&rsquo;d called for two varieties of tortas &mdash; Firebird ('340) and Al Pastor ('340). Not as fiery as its name, Firebird was a tame shredded chicken sandwich lacking any hint the spicy habanero sauce it was supposed to be doused in.
Al Pastor, which claimed to be stuffed with 24-hour braised pulled pork, failed to produce the rich, smoked flavour associated with the meat. Packed in toasted bread, which was too hard and could barely contain the filling inside, both the dishes left a dry taste in our mouth. We washed it down with Kokum Agua Fresca ('100), a refreshing, tangy-sweet concoction blending kokum with lime, mint and black salt.
Goan escape A hybrid called Mexigoa empanadas ('250) charmed us with its flavourful minced pork stuffed in flaky and crispy, fried pastries. It also helped us get over Molletes ('200), a side order of crusty breads with dry pasilla beans and cheese.
We finished off the meal with the Chocolate Tres Leches ('200), a heavenly dessert featuring melt-in-your-mouth sponge cake soaked in rich and gooey chocolate, happy to discover that the food coma extended to flavours as well.
Open from: 11.30 am to 11.30 pm (except Tuesdays) At: Pali Hill, Bandra (W) Delivery areas: Bandra (W) to Khar (W) Call: 8767784376
