Contrabando (OLD)

Best all you can eat tacos definitely worth a try

The food was really yummy. Lots of good food. Very happy.

Good food good value ideal work lunch with colleagues mid week

I have been to Contrabando several times,first with a Groupon and then a brought some work mates for a team lunch. Always awesome. Really nice staff andcthectacos are amazing.

Taco Tuesday never disappoints :D my favourite is the pulled pork, the sauce is awesome! It does get a bit busy but the service is still decent considering the crowds.

I love coming here for the tacos. The fish one is the best, but all have their benefits. I'm gonna have to come back to try the rest of the menu

Went there to use the unlimited tacos offer from Groupon. Really good food, beer and great service! My fav restaurant in Sydney. Everyone loved it.

The food here is execellent! Great Value and service is always with a smile! I have been here on numerous occasions and have never been dissappointed! Lookng forward to when they reopen again as St. Pablo!

The food was beyond amazing - there was a special of $3 tacos but the positions were still big. The service was great. Definitely going back

Service is great and the food counts out very quickly. All food is hot and tastes fresh. Great atmosphere and ambience. Will recommend to friends.

Food, drinks and service were great. We thought the white table cloths were a bit out of place... Kind of killed the vibe a bit.

Great food and service. Very busy for a Thursday lunch. Didn't have to ask for the water it just arrived which was great. Hope the new venue works for them.

The food was yummy, highly recommend the fish tacos. Service was fast and efficient. Had a good vibe and would be great for a big group of people.

Atmosphere is relaxing, staff is attentive & friendly, portion is generous enough, food taste good esp the fish tapa & lamb ribs, price is reasonable. Only down side is too noisy and chairs not comfortable enough. On the whole, thumbs up.

I enjoy coming here and the service is quick and the food is great, and it's not far from work which makes it easy and quick to get there. Great service, Great food & Great place thanks.

We had beef cheek, crispy fish and fried chicken tacos. The beef cheek taco is definitely the best~ The atmosphere is also excellent. The sungria is also nice

Very good and efficient service. Served food within 10 minutes of ordering. Will come back again for Tuesday Tacos. Thanks again for being so accommodating regarding our booking.

All the tacos we tried were fantastic and high quality. Huge portions in the tacos as well. Little bit hard to get noticed for service at times. Taco.

We had a great experience at Contrabando. The food was amazing and we loved the general atmosphere. Great staff and cool design. We will definitely be back!

Great vibe and reasonably priced food. ($30@) Their tacos looked amazing - didn't get to try it but coming back for it. Sangria was awesome!

The best tacos - all worth giving it a try especially the beef cheeks with crunchy shallots. Even better with a glass or few margaritas!

Great spot for a quick trendy lunch. Very friendly wait staff and every flavour taco is just divine. Would recommend Contrabando to anyone any day of the week but especially Tuesday.

Food is fabulous and service is quick and efficient which is great for a mid week lunch. It is also very affordable - particularly love Taco Tuesday!

An amazing experience. Amazing food and amazing service, all at great prices. Service was so prompt, and the food was so delicious and fresh! Thank you, Peter!

Can't fault this place, the food is delicious and great value for money :) I've been here several times and will continue coming back !!

The food is great, the staff can get pretty busy, and when that happens, it's sometimes hard to get the service. Recommending this place for a team lunch.

Slightly slow and inconsistent pouring of margaritas but the taste and value of tacos are beyond amazing! I'll be back for the fish and beef varieties!

The food was good and the service was fine. It was way too hot down there though! Our clients were uncomfortable. Would really benefit from air conditioning.

The food was tasty - and the food came very quickly! But the service was slow in terms of the waitress coming to take our order

The lunch was very good as well as catering and service. We will get back there for sure. Very good place, music and food. thanks.

Tacos were tasty, came out quickly, but a few times the waiters weren't knowledgeable about the drinks menu. Overall however a great experience well worth it

I love this restaurant & go weekly - however, they aren't great on attention to detail, we always have to follow up on missing food. Great food and cocktails (aka value for money) - that's why I go back, not for the service

The tacos are nice and good deal on Tuesday. Good for Lunch and dinner with team members or friends. But a little bit noisy and has time limitation for lunch.

We had the best experience initially - the tacos were fresh and delicious and excellent value. But our second round of tacos never arrived. We waited 20 minutes and when we finally managed to catch the attention of a staff member, the explanation we received as that our tacos were accidentally given to someone else.

Best Tacos in town. Great value and speedy service. Great atmosphere. The fish tacos are the best, but all are very tasty. Love going there.

Always enjoy Taco Tuesdays at Contrabando for the fast and friendly service, and great food. Great selection of Taco options and they all pack a flavor punch!

Beautiful Latin American my wife loved it and we would return. The food was especially fresh and it was such a pleasure to consume. Thankyou Contrabando

I had never been to this place before and was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. Great music and the food was delicious and fast. The waiters/waitresses need to be a bit more attentive to when guests are trying to get their attention. They were quick to want to take our order but to get a follow up table water or to pay the bill it took a bit longer than expected. I would definitely go back there though!

Lots of fun and yummy food. Margaritas were fabulous. We had a really fun time. Shame we couldn't have a longer sitting. Will go again though.

Good was excellent. Service was really great. I'll definitely return to the restaurant again for taco Tuesdays and quesadillas Monday. Best value for money and tastes awesome.

A bit chaotic on a Tuesday, but the food was tasty and affordable. Do not go on Tuesday without making a booking. Taco Tuesday is serious business.

Great food, good service & a nice set up. The ambience definitely adds to the Mexican experience but they can perk it up a bit with some light music & make it a few more degrees brighter :)

Good service, fantastic food every time. Taco Tuesday is a must. I have been a regular at Contrabando since their opening. Thoroughly recommended for a business lunch.

Food delicious but not quite enough food in the lunch express menu, needed to order another item. The service is prompt but not particularly friendly, this has been my experience on more than one visit.

The city's best tacos! Super fast and friendly service and always a good time. We keep coming back because it's so good. Highly recommended :D

Very busy on $3 Taco Tuesday night. The tacos were great and tasty. Must book for Tuesday. Staff was ok but pushy when after 1.5 hour dinner session.

Really delicious food for a high value for money price. $3 taco tuesday was a hit with my friends. We'll definitely go back there again!

$3 Taco Tuesdays at Contrabando are a reliably good lunch. Ingredients taste fresh and meals are served promptly. It's usually fully booked on Tuesdays and there is often a queue of walk-ins waiting, so you don't have much time to linger. One side of the dining space is really well lit, but it feels like you're sitting in the dark a bit on the other side.

Food good but difficulties with staff due to language barrier - didn't understand what tap beer was, had to repeat orders and overall communication difficulties - friendly enough but just made the experience a little more difficult

Taco Tuesday is always a winner. Can't beat $3 tacos, and the menu is always changing so there's a new taco to try every time!
