Fairly long wait. Food is nothing amazing and fairly average. Seems to be very understaffed and they are also fairly inattentive. The food comes around fairly slowly and we were eating a single taco at a time and were waiting for a waiter to come by with another tray. They would also always start at the otherside and we would end up not getting anything at the end of it until we raised it with the staff.
AYCE Tacos for $38 + Happy hour 2 for 1 cocktails is such a good deal in this economy. Out of the 6 (I think) taco options, my 2 most favourites are roasted cauliflower and chicharron (crispy pork belly). Also highly recommend trying their cocktails, especially shisho (tequila, mango, passionfruit and lime)! We celebrated my friend's birthday here and we had a good night thanks to the friendly staff!
Lovely staff, good food. We had a booking but the place wasn't very busy so they let us choose where we wanted to sit. We ordered a bunch of entrees, drinks and some tacos. We honestly enjoyed the entrees more than the tacos! We got the stuffed jalepenos, guacamole and chips, crispy pork belly, tiger prawns and red snapper. My favourite out of those was the crispy pork belly - alongside the pineapple salsa it was so good!! The tacos weren't very good unfortunately, but I did like the chipotle honey chicken one. The rest were a bit bland. The churros for dessert were delicious, very fresh. The drinks we got were pretty good also. I got an espresso martini and two fantasmas because they were so yummy! And my partner got the Paloma. Good place to come for some snacks and drinks, as it's not too busy and it's a relaxed environment. They do close early though which we didn't realise, as we were given the bill and everyone had cleared out by 9:30pm on a Friday.
Saw this cachapa dish on instagram and read the really good reviews and I must say it lived up to the hype!!! Shoutout to Imanol our server, great service and amazing food. Would come back again soon
Came here for the “all you can eat” tacos after seeing it all over TikTok, however was disappointed to find out it was not all you can eat! Instead of an all you can eat buffet, the tacos were served by a person who would approach your table with a single taco option. This meant you couldn’t choose what taco you wanted (despite them giving you the menu at the start) nor how much you could eat, and you were restricted to one taco per person at a time. The beef brisket taco was by far the best, however we only got served 1 each in the entire 1.5 hours. The fish taco had a soggy and wet batter (seemed like they boiled the fish?), and all other tacos had little filling. We only managed to eat around 10 tacos each before our 1.5 hours finished, and we were not full. Wouldn’t come back again
