scoffing. Its location facing Olaf Ryes plass also makes it good for people-watching.

What it lacks in authenticity, Mucho Mas more than makes
up for in cheese and portion size. The full Mexican repertoire is on offer, including tacos,
nachos and burritos (which are enormous); all dishes are offered in meat or vegetarian ver-
sions. Well-priced beer helps put out the fire.

Inter-
national deli with everything from French cheese to Belgian chocolates. The chorizo and
manchego sandwiches (Nkr55) are an especially good bet, and coffee is also served (of
course!).
