The Cartel in Chippendale is a great place for latin American soul food. A quite night with friends led us to Cartel with no expectations free of previous knowledge of reviews just to sit down and eat. The menu is not authentic mexican or even south American but it has the usual standards you would expect from a label like Cartel. I believe the usual patrons that keep the establishment liquid would probably not appreciate true authentic Mexican fare, well done to Cartel, they dished up good food. The Gambas prawns with garlic butter was a great start although the prawns were a little small but very tasty, FYI I will pay for good size prawns as most would, the steak was semi tender but very edible and again full of flavour with the chimi churri sauce. A great looking fitout and comfortable seats. Overall a good place for a few drinks and maybe some sharing plates if your in Broadway Sydney.

Fantastic restaurant. We went for taco Tuesday - $38 pp all you can eat was great value! The tacos were filled full, 6 flavours + 1 dessert taco (which was outstanding). I had gluten free tortilla which were very tasty. Staff helpful and super friendly. Happy hour was a nice surprise too. Highly recommend

Discovered this restaurant about two weeks ago and had to come back! This time I tried the Bondiola — absolutely incredible flavors, please never take it off the menu! Finished my dinner with the Merengón, simply perfect. Highly recommended!

We had such a great experience! The beef with cachapa was delicious — tender, juicy, and perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the cachapa. The pork was another highlight: smoky, charred just right, and very flavorful. The steak was cooked perfectly and the chimichurri added a great touch. The margarita was also excellent — refreshing and really well-balanced. On top of that, the service was very good. Thanks to the team for making our date feel special. Highly recommended!

Cozy setting, food is well done and delicious. 2 for 1 happy hour makes for a great start to the evening. Service can be a little slow.
