For me, the music was just a little too loud in a reverberant environment at lunch time.
Food was nice but service very hurried and a bit hit & miss.
Did not receive one of the courses on our set menu.
The tacos are delicious especially the fish tacos! Its definitely our favourite one to order.
Tacos had so much coriander it was very overpowering! Also, bought a Groupon voucher as we were visiting SYDNEY and were told we couldn’t use it on the Friday night so then ended up paying another $100 on top of the voucher!
Tacos were great. Excellent lunch spot in the CBD. Cheers!
Amazing food. Staff super attentive and friendly. Really great atmosphere!
You get a great variety with the express lunch. Cheese burger spring rolls are absolutely amazing.
Food was great. Wait staff were attentive and helpful. Would go again
Best Taco Tuesday in Sydney!! I've tried every Mexican joint in town and this place stunned them all. Awesome spot for a first date!
Great place to go for Mexican food, Good food and value for money
Fantastic food, decent prices, great atmosphere - will be back again!
The service was great and the food came out very fast and was very delicious. Staff were amazing !
Immediately shown the table and served with speed. Food is FANTASTIC and excellent value for money.
Lovely set menu again. only suggestion would be that the courses could come out a little slower - we ran out of room on the table. but maybe we were just talking too much amongst ourselves !!
Contrabando delivered another delicious experience. Their fish tacos were as good as always. I’ll be back!
Regularly come here for Taco Tuesdays. Food is great (including menu items that aren't tacos). Can be a bit loud and bookings are a must.
tasty food, tacos are still our favorite, friendly service, will come back
Great food, especially love the fish taco’s. The service is always really good and the Margaritas are fabulous. Great for pre theatre drinks and dinner. Well done guys. I’ll be back.
Great old and great value worth a look for food.
Great experience, great restaurant. Food and service very good. Will definitely recommend and return.
It was a good experience coming with my work mate's farewell. Booking online made everything very easy. Thanks.
Great food, but longer waiting time than expected. Staff could have been more attentative.
Great pre-theatre venue, great food and service. A bit noisy, but fabulous value.
Awesome food, staff were great! Plenty of seating and nice at
It was pleasant. Food and service could have been better.
Overall I had a great experience but the service was a let down. A friend of mine is allergic to avocado so she asked for no guac on her tacos - it was $3 taco night but they told her she wasn't able to get the special deal if revisions were made to the tacos. Given she's allergic and that adding guac to meals normally increases the $ value (and therefore removing it should not!), this was pretty disappointing. Even more disappointing was to see that it wasn't really a plentiful serving of guac on my tacos - it was the lightest drizzle of watery avocado on top. It would have been extremely simple to have left his off but when we asked about it, the waiters were rude and unhelpful and my friend was charged the full price. Disappointing however the food and ambience were fabulous despite the service.
Loved the fresh made tacos and the sweet potato fries
Great food, drinks and overall vibe. Would definitely recommend and go again
fantastic!!! food is delicious and great value for money !
An ok experience but certainly not one of the better Mexican restaurants in Sydney.
The noise levels are extremely high inside the restaurant. However, because in this instance we booked an outside table the levels were good.
great food, great experience. Will be back. A few more vegetarian options would be good.
Decent service for a very busy night. Starter was sub par but the tacos were amazing!!
A little loud inside, which made it difficult for my friend and I to hear each other. The sauces on the tacos were a little runny, which made for messy eating, but everything was still delicious. :)
Food is always amazing, service is good, a bit noisy but you can't really do much about that
They have a great selection of Gluten Free food and the best thing is that it tastes delicious!
Taco Tuesday! It’s loud, crowded and the service is fast. Go with a group and eat your weight in tacos.
Tacos were...INCREDIBLE. Buzzing atmos too. So so good. Coming back!
we had a great time. our waiter really looked after us.
