The food was great and the atmosphere was pleasant, no complaints about the service either. I would definitely recommend it if your in the mood for some Mexican. Try the corn!

The food was great but the service was awful. The dishes were late and a couple of times not all of them came out and one person had to wait for theirs to be made while everyone else ate. We had a 1.15 booking and ordered straight away, but by 2 a number of people's dishes hadn't arrived so we asked what happened. The waitress said it was nearly ready but then came out 10 minutes later and said they forgot about it. We all went back to work at 2.15, late and starving still.

Fantastic food and fantastic service. Being so popular the restaurant is very noisy, so it's not very intimate, but this can add to the atmosphere.

I was in a group of 8 people and the tables were way too small for our group. We were also overcharged but they fixed it quickly.

Love coming here for the great tacos and other inventive food options which change regularly. Food service is always efficient. I know its Latin street food but a few more Australian wine options would be good.

Tried out their "express lunch" option for a work/team lunch. Great service and tasty food! Will go back again. Wanted to finish up the nice meal with a round of coffee but their barista was away and no other staff knew how to operate the coffee machine.

We had a large group of about 45 people for dinner at Contrabando, the staff were so amazing and attentive, and even were able to cater at the very last second for a couple of people who had dietry requirements. This was not my first time there, and won't be my last!
