I had a set drinks menu here for my birthday on a Saturday night. Staff were very friendly and helpful leading up to the event and attentive on the nignt. The drinks were delicious and as they were part of a package in a set menu there were plenty to go round. Can get a bit pricey when adding on food though. I went back for dinner on a busy Friday night and were seated at the bar as we hadn’t made a booking though this was ok as there were only 2 of us and we could watch the staff making drinks. The guacamole and plantain chips were amazing as were the tacos. We ordered a couple more dishes and I had a delicious white sangria. Staff were lovely once again and we had a really good night. Will definitely be going back.

I’m not the biggest fan of restaurants trying to be something they aren’t and this restaurant is somewhere in between wanting to be a Mexican restaurant and a douchey club spot. The restaurant looks more like a Thai fusion restaurant but all the kitschy dia de los muertos souvenirs remind you it’s supposed to be a Mexican joint. I sat upstairs and my eyes kept getting drawn to this giant amount of skulls behind the bar. They weren’t the Mexican stylised skulls just dark biological human skulls which has more in common with some kind of Ed Hardy subculture and not Mexican culture at all. Anyways onto the food. I had the beef short rib which was a slab of decently tasty beef placed above a cold bone which must’ve just been there for decoration. My dining partner had the salmon ceviche and the pork tacos. I tried the ceviche and thought meh. She was quite satisfied with her dishes even though I was left thinking what a waste of money. We ordered the churros and they were quite tasty even though $ 12 for 4 churros is a straight up ripoff. The only thing that gave this place more than 1 star was the staff. Everyone from the ladies at the door to the gent that took our order were great. High five for hiring such lovely staff, no five for the décor, music, and overpriced menu.

I’ve been here a few times now and the food has been really tasty and the staff friendly, although the service can be slow. The corn lollipops(pieces of corn on the cob, smothered in some kind of delicious chipotle sauce and topped with popcorn) and the guacamole(smashed up in front of you at your table) are a great place to start. The churros are a great place to finish. As for the main meals — it is all well made, tasty, fresh… yummy food. It’s just a little overpriced, to be honest. Even the main meals are small(and the tapas style serves are obviously smaller). Still worth a visit.

I came went here last week with my kids. The staff are young and chatty with energy. Its recently opened in front of the new Westfields in Miranda with many other new eateries, so they have competition. I had a cocktail with Tequila of course! possibly called Sunrise. My 7 yr old assembled her own kids size soft tacos from kids menu and older child shared plates with me. This is what was advised by the waiter who was very attentive and full of knowledge about tequila. Apparently they have the biggest collection of Tequila in Australia? World? universe?. The cheapest at $ 8.50 to most expensive $ 96 for a nip. There is a menu of Tequilas and a wooden hand held contraption that helps you choose your type of Tequila if you want to go there. I will come back with my friends to try that. We ended up with too much food. Im not really a fan of Mexican usually but was very impressed with the Guacamole and plantain chips for starters. The corn cobs with popcorn and a sauce was a first and probably a last. Great ambience but no bathroom !! Have to go inside Westfields for that. wasn’t happy about this but it is what it is. Cant take the risk when kids need to go. Are they bored or do they really need to go this time.?? So you actually have to walk out of the establishment. Weird. In closing… Yes kids can go. Yes Id prefer to take grown ups. Food is ok. Yes its expensive for Mexican food. The service is great. Cost me $ 104. I did have a $ 18 cocktail and over ordered though but its basically beans and bread…
