Very impressed with the food and service, will definitely be back.
Good meal and service and particularly well-positioned for pre-concert at the nearby Conservatorium!
Will definitely return.. love it as always. The food was delicious and exceeded my expectations.
Great taco variety and Tuesday specials for tacos and drinks
Great tacos Tuesday specials and friendly staff that are helpful
Good food but there are better mexican restaurants in Sydney, great service, and drinks were A+
Best tacos in Sydney by far! We love coming here especially on Tuesdays :)
Amazing food with great service! Great margaritas and also guacamole.
Absolutely loved it!!! & will be visiting again very soon.
Had a great team lunch with my colleagues for the second time!
we took a 12pm seating and the restaurant is packed. The Tacos are amazing as always, only thing is that we felt rushed a bit with our dining, as waitress constantly reminded us abt clearing the table by 1pm.
Contrabando has a great atmosphere and the Tacos were amazing as usual!
Will visit again! Great for groups on a Tuesday night
The food and drinks here are always fantastic, the wait times can get a little long sometimes though.
Really poor service and rude staff, below average food as well.
Tasty lunchtime food, with a spicy kick, served efficiently. Good list too.
We would have liked to stay there longer, the lovely wait staff explained to us that they are very popular and do 2 seatings over lunch. Understandable our dining experience was fantastic. We enjoyed the Taco Tuesday daily special, delicious tacos and great classic margarita and wine that was on offer. They advised us next time to arrive early & take a outdoor table if we would like to stay a bit longer. Will be back definitely!
Very noisy, but food is excellent. Waiters are exceptionally busy, most are very efficient. I recommend the beef tacos!
Great food and atmosphere. Super great value on taco Tuesday's!
Regular all you can eat taco visit that never fails to disappoint! Unfortunately, we came at the latter half of the night and they forgot one of our orders and were slow to attend to us in comparison to previous visits. Recommend booking an earlier sit as service is usually like clockwork with great hot tacos!
The tacos are delicious! Fish tacos are definitely their best!
more lovely food from contrabando. Lovely attentive staff - will be back for more soon
Passed by for a quick meal before a concert at the Opera House. Staff are lovely, beer on tap is perfect, the food is tasty and the prices - really reasonable
The food was a little cold unfortunately but very tasty
Great experience, can definitely recommend. Good value for money as well.
Nice place, good costumer service, tasty food. Tacos are amazing!
It would be great if the waitress can slow down when she talks as we could not understand a word that she said.
The food was ok and nice venue and atmosphere, however, the service is terrible. I called and the waitress was not helpful and flexible at all and during the dinner the waitress was rude, lack of experience and annoying trying to kick us out. I understand you must put pressure on your staff but not at the detriment of your customer. I would not recommend this place despite the quality of the food ...
Always great food at a great price - highly recommend!
Great hangout with colleagues. A good place to take new friends.
Always Fantastic def go back time and time again. and would highly recommend.
Good food as always. Service used to be worse, we'd just get ignored by the servers but now its better.
A good place to bring along work colleagues and friends.
Absolutely loved my visit here. Great food and fast service. I will be coming back again!
Food here is delicious! Taco Tuesdays are great value and the tacos come out quite quickly. The amazing food always has me coming back. Service can be a bit slow and impersonal but I guess thats what happens when they are busy.
Very mechanical environment - separate waiters and no real consistency in service. As a friend of mine had allergies there were questions that were inconsistently answered. My partner didn’t get what he ordered in tacos - all come out together and no one takes the time to explain what is what or follow up if you have a question.
Great food - plenty of flavourful options, as well as lovely service.
Great value for money, great food and drinks, good service
Brilliant service and amazing tacos! We will definitely be returning!
Overall was good but felt like we were rushed to order food
