Been twice now, once 2 years ago and now again, I genuinely think the quality has gone down significantly. The food was very average and not really worth the prices. The drinks were good and the atmosphere was really fun though! I’d say it’s a good night out for drinking and some snacky Mexican food but you’re not coming here for the good food. Not sure I’d be back because there has to be a better place with the fun vibes but better food. A good pro is its location
Great vibes here, location obviously is fantastic. Food was lovely. They did get our order wrong but food was still great so I don’t mind haha
What an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious—huge thanks to the chef for such incredible meals. Even though the restaurant was very busy, we didn’t have to wait long, which was really impressive. The staff were all so friendly and made sure our table was well looked after throughout our visit. I’d especially like to mention Ayusha and Sabina. They made our dining experience even more enjoyable with their warm, attentive, and professional service. They truly deserve 5 stars! I highly recommend this place to friends and family, and we’ll definitely be back again. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
We are visiting from the states and we decided to try some Mexican food. The people are super nice and welcoming but very understaffed, poor guy had like 10 tables. So the service was not his fault. The chips and salsa is free and unlimited! The food was good overall and our drinks where delicious. My son for some reason wanted chicken wings and i was shocked at the size of the wings(very small) I enjoy the vibe and the music and everyone looked happy. I recommend this place.
Great hosts and nice food/drinks. Wish they had more starters options but other that we enjoyed our time. They have a drink which has vanilla liqueur and espresso and its delicious!! Will come back when I visit Sydney again.
