Considering you can get all you can eat tacos for $25 the quantity was lacking for the express lunch. The food that was included was very tasty. Just need more of it.

The banquet is outstanding value for only $40pp. They very helpfully have an entirely GF set menu option and happily accommodated a dietary requirement to leave avo/guac out of some dishes. Delicious So Cal themed food. Whilst there was plenty to be had on the set menu option it was filling because of its volume rather than being very meat/carb heavy, or overly greasy as can often happen with this style of food. Lovely staff and excellent margaritas (with quality tequila). Highly recommended.

Very good Mexican-inspired food with a twist. Service was quick, maybe even a bit too quick - in total, the whole dinner only lasted around 40 minutes! Would recommend / go again.

Taco Tuesday is always good value as long as you book early enough. Be aware that there is a second lunch sitting so if you book for 12pm you get turned around quite quickly. Not a problem as long as you know.

The food, service and atmosphere was great! Any negatives would be that it was a little noisy and the tables were so close together that the people behind us had difficulty getting out.

The best Mexican in Sydney! Such a cool vibe with awesome murals on the wall, delicious cocktail and the best guac- tacos are best level too. Always an easy choice when people have different food requirements too (vegan/vego/pescatarian etc)
