We were very impressed with everything from the online booking to the delicious food and great staff. The playground was excellent and the fact we could do a split bill made life easier. Will definitely be back!

Kids tacos were inedible. We were then charged for a bowl of hot chips so that they didn’t starve. 1st jug of sangria tasted ok although jug is only 750ml not 1L as expected. 2nd jug arrived and was fermented. We asked for a replacement and it never arrived. Was a very expensive meal all up and we left hungry.

Really yummy Mexican food. They have some different dishes that I haven't seen before at other Mexican places. I'd recommend it. I had battered fish tacos. Yum!

The food was ok but the service was terrible. We waited over half an hour for them to even take a drinks order. Trying to get a second drink was almost impossible.

If I could rate this place any lower I would! Do yourself a favour and don't bother. Terrible is an understatement! I ordered a Southern Fried Chicken burger which was as hot as the sun - with no warning on the menu. The waiter had no idea about ANYTHING. I asked for soda water but he said 'no we don't have that, we just have sparkling mineral water'.. hmm. Drinks served in Ikea plastic cups. It was a HOT afternoon and we sat in the outdoor area which was like a sauna with the plastic weather-protection unable to be lifted to allow air-flow.. Leaving was the best part knowing I would not return. This place will not be there long... I call it a 'place' because calling it a 'restaurant' would be an insult.

Service was very good. quick and attentive. I found the chips and dips (starter) a little ordinary and would have liked to have seen homemade chips. My families meals were nice, however, I ordered the pulled pork and found them very dry and ate less than half.

Our online booking was for 7.30 we arrived at 7.20 and was told we were too early and to come back. Our reservation stated we had a table inside but when we returned we were taken out the back. It was noisy with little kids running around unsupervised. To the managers credit he did give us our first drinks on the house for our table not being ready. Young staff worked well and friendly. Food was served promptly. Would like to try again would suggest maybe a later time 8pm onwards as it did quiet down a little. Food was average, still prefer Mexican at Gymea unfortunately.

When we walked in it smelled so good. Good atmosphere and vibe. We were seated and it did take a little while for our order to be taken. Food came out fast. Entrees first. We enjoyed the chips and queso. Cornbread was a fail in my eyes. Drenched in butter but didn’t cover the stale and nearly burnt taste. Cornbread should not be made like that. Mains came out. I loved my chilli con carne. Texture flavour and just enough toppings. Piping hot too! Hubby had burger. Flavour was good but burger patty wasn’t cooked thru. Still cold in parts. Chips were not cooked enough either. Fast service but undercooked food isn’t a good look. Son had chicken tacos but he found them too spicy. I had one and enjoyed it but it would make sense to serve more traditional with two tortillas to help with meat making one soggy. Daughter had Mac and cheese and she ate it all. Basic but good for children. Overall I was happy with first experience. We will definitely be back to try other things. I hope my review helps with tweaking menu and service. Kids loved playing outside and staff were helpful and friendly.

food and atmosphere was good. before we went one of our friends warned us they bring all the food as it was ready. we thought we would be smart and order starters, wait 15 minutes, then order mains. they still brought the mains with half the starters on the table, which barely fit all the food, so we were eating chicken wings over a plate of mains. otherwise was a perfect evening

Unfortunately we did not have a good experience at this new restaurant, we did provide verbal feedback on the night and I hope for the owners that they resolve meal issues and get some glass cups instead of plastic! Maybe I will continue reading current reviews to see if things have improved before returning.

Delicious. Love the baked jalepeno poppers and the corn is yum too. The enchaladas and carne tacos are amazing. If you like more spice as for their amazing hot sauce :-)

Food is amazing and if you like spicy ask for some of their hot sauce. This should be bottled it is hot and smoky and yummy.

The entree's came out and they were average the guacamole was so chunky that there was a quarter of an avocado in one piece, the wings were very good, the cheese dip watery...before we had finished the entrees the mains came out and the young staff tried to take the entree's away there was no break between courses an overlap if anything...the Owner apologised and got us a second round of drinks ...but the mains were disappointing...my son who always cleans up Tex/Mex couldn't finish , I couldn't finish and we all left very disappointed..the flavours were bland definitely will not be returning

The vibe is really cool and they've done an awesome job setting up the outside area however, I felt the food was very average. I had the chicken enchiladas and there was way too much sauce on the plate which made the presentation look very poor. The flavours itself were nice but nothing memorable unfortunately...Real rating would be about a 3.5. Mexican food really thrives off super fresh ingredients and spice and I think this place would really do well if they finessed their presentation and flavours as it has the potential to do well in that space.

It was a fun atmosphere and I think the food has a lot of potential but as a vegetarian myself and my partner found the menu very bland. We got nachos and a salad and both were nothing special. They both needed much more beans and some sort of protein added as it didn’t fill us up much at all
