    There were only two front of house staff working on a Saturday night, which probably could have been sufficient but the staff both seemed a little disorganised. It took 20 minutes for our orders to be taken, and that was only after my partner went to the counter to ask to order. Our drinks were delivered at nearly the same time as our meals, and the can of Coke was delivered as is - no straw, no glass. The tacos seemed a little small for the price but otherwise the quality of the food was good. We would be keen to return if staff were increased and/or more attentive to customer needs.

    We enjoyed our meal except that our nachos came out last and then we had all 3 dishes at once and would have been better spaced out.

    The food was pretty good, as were the drinks but the service wasn’t very good at all. There was only one other small group in there and our party of 5 but the waitress wasn’t very efficient at all. She wasn’t very friendly either. Initially, she brought over the wrong sized drinks and it was a while before she took our order. We had wanted desserts but again she took so long to even bring the menus over, let alone take the order so we didn’t bother. When we asked for the bill at the end she just brought over the EFTPOS machine with the amount to pay but no breakdown which we then asked for, so we could check the bill. Shame really as it has a good atmosphere.

    The staff seemed a little overwhelmed at times, there was a mix up with two different bills where orders from other tables were included. The food I had was lovely, my dinning companion thought the food was average. Our entrees were served with the main meal, so our main courses were cold by the time we started them My drink was yummy and tasted great. I would return to try again, I truly believe the staff may just need a little more training, I thought they really seem to try.

    My friends and I were drawn to Frozen Margaritas this place served.. Each one of them were super delicious and we ended up eating trying all of them. The cocktail and mocktail were super delicious. My favourite was Mango Margarita (Cocktail) and Margi and The Placebo (Mocktail) were great. The food was finger licking good. Great options for Vegetarians. Some of the dishes we tried were Jalapeno Poppers (super spicy). I would suggest getting 2 poppers first and the order more. They were spicy but so yummy. Flauticas were tacos filled with Veggie option, yummm! Cauliflower Tacos, were size of a ricecake but utterly delicious too. The portion size of Nachos was big and tasted so well with everything. For dessert I ordered Churros chips, usually it comes with 2 choice of dips, I paid a dollar extra to order both the dips on the side. The Dulce the leche is the must try dip, it tasted like butterscotch or caramel flavour and complemented the chips so well. This dessert was so light and I felt like buying more. I was also given free on the house Churros for my birthday. Happy days😊 The food is reasonably priced. The staff member, Alisha was excellent and Had great knowledge about the entire menu and drinks. Will definitely come back here to try other options on menu. Overall So so happy with the food, the drinks, the hospitality and the ambience. Good luck team, you guys are doing an amazing job👍

    The food was absolutely delicious. The service was great, first time we went there it was a bit slow but was much better today. Will definitely come back. Highly recommend the chicken taco, cauliflower taco and the chocolate brownie with chocolate sauce. Only one suggestion and that would be to provide more napkins on the table as Mexican can be messy sometimes.

    Good food but asked if we wanted our meals mild, medium or hot and we asked for medium as we like spicy but were worried hot would be very very hot. Both our meals were not even mild which was disappointing as so many Mexican restaurants seem to be like this. You need spicy for Mexican food otherwise it’s not authentic

    Jalapeño poppers were some of the best we’ve ever had, a warning to people who don’t like coriander they used a lot without it being on the menu! Was easy enough to pick it off and still enjoyed the meals!

    The food all seemed and tasted fresh however we all agreed it was expensive especially the burrito bowl.. not a lot of salad and not alot of protein..we were all asked if we wanted guacamole and we all said yes not realising it was going to be an extra $3.50 on top of the main price of the dish for a small spoon full of guacamole ..the churro chips were disappointing at $13 for the equivalent of 12 corn chips.

    Food was quick to come out but all I could taste was spice. Tried three different mains, one with mild sauce and then removed the sauce off the other two mains but couldn’t appreciate any of the other flavours in the mains.

    I would have given the highest score if there was quicker service. There didn’t seem like there was enough staff one so the poor staff were run off their feet so took time to place our order and get our drinks. Also asked for more napkins when we ordered knowing we would need them as the meal was going to be messing but unfortunately got the napkins when we had finished so we had to take some from another table. The food was absolutely delicious and super tasty so couldn’t fault that. We will definitely come back just feel for the staff.

    Food was reasonably nice, service wasn’t great. We had to get the waiters attention every time we wanted a drink and glasses weren’t cleared from the table nor were dishes and cutlery. Staff were pleasant but waiting on tables needs improvement
