Reviews
"Food was average and a bit overpriced in my opinion. Staff were friendly. Ambience was nice and would be a good place for drinks."
"You know I appreciate the attempted take on authentic Mexican cuisine but I didn't know authenticity also encompassed skimpy portions like...?? Having some Spanish words thrown across the menu doesn't mean much either. I showed my partner the pictures and his first comment was: "those aren't tacos". We went on Tuesday which brought the taco prices from $7 to $5 but honestly, I would pay max $2.50 for the tacos. Flavours are ok but the proteins are given in morsels and for some reason, the tacos are served so damp it's like eating a used paper towel. I appreciate making the tortillas from scratch (I think) but like, I'm sure even in Mexico they don't serve such small and wet portions. This place seems like it's more well known for drinks as expected of newtown. The so called Mexican inspired decor - was that inspired by the results from Google search? I like the vibe of the place as more of a fancy bar but authentic Mexican, it is not"
"Such a fun place to go for food and drinks!! The atmosphere is incredible, with neon decor and very friendly staff it is one of my favourite bars. Very close to Newtown station, and not too pricey, it is a great place for a date night or for drinks with friends. The staff are incredibly kind and accommodating, always putting the customer first. Definitely recommend"
"This place is such a vibe! Definitely better for group outings. The drinks are so good and presented amazingly. I got tacos and my friends got a burrito bowl and the ice cream sandwich which tasted nice and spicy. There’s a lady that comes around with a bubble gun and got each of us to blow one which was so fun. Staff were so friendly and were able to adapt changes to our liking. The only thing is how far it is and a bit pricy but other than that, it was amazing."
"Store was empty, we were the only ones there on a weekday night. We got the beef fajita. Fajita was spicy but so good. One thing we weren’t happy about was the server charged us extra for the tortillas when we weren’t told of the extra charges. That was a disappointing charge upon payment. Food was good but probably wouldn’t dine here again for the lack of communication and honesty."
