Sat outside as weather was perfect , loved the fairy lights! so great to see a busy bustling restaurant. I had the enchiladas great choice delicious BUT, the hero of the night was the watermelon margarita 🍸this is a ‘must try’ if you head down to Benzina! Even though it was busy my meal arrived promptly after ordering & all waiting staff get a gold star ⭐️ this is a great restaurant for any occasion!

The ambiance is great - I love the restaurant's style, and the staff were very friendly despite how busy it was. But for me, the food and cocktails were pretty average. The food is bog standard tex-mex.

Awesome Margarita and delicious tacos. If you only drink wine, don’t bother as they have a very limited selection.

Lovely fresh, tasty food. The beef taco was my favourite. We sat down the back and because this was near the door to the rear courtyard it was a little bit cold and we kept our coats on throughout the meal, also seating was stools -so not the most relaxing, comfortable meal but they atmosphere was good and staff were very accommodating and friendly.

The food and the waitstaff were great. However disappointed that when the next seating began to arrive they gathered inside and stood at the bar. Hence there was perhaps 80 people now in the restaurant, I had to battle the crowd to pay. Will be back again when social distancing and laws are in place.

Tacos are great, have had most of the flavours and yum! Wouldn’t get the nachos ever again, Super salty and just didn’t like them and couldn’t even pick at them.

Food was outstanding. Unfortunately given the weather and lack of heating outside we had to eat and go so a little bummed that the heaters for outdoor patrons weren’t working.

Were not willing to accommodate indoor seating when it was freezing cold outside and below 8 degrees. There were tables inside and the customer service was just down right disgusting. We walked out and did not eat there.

Don’t take bookings at 8.15 and rush us through telling us kitchen is closing. Forced to order desert and served it before we’d eaten main course. Disappointed considering the food was good.

Food and service were both great - really friendly staff and the margarita’s were the bomb! Simple, unpretentious but delicious food. The music was fun although a little on the loud side. Highly recommend!
