The place was barely half full at 8pm, but the server warned us that everyone had turned up at the same time, but they were doing the best they could.
Fair enuf, I guess, but there were only 3 ppl working there, 2 in the kitchen the server (who was actually pretty cool and why I’ve given 3 stars).
Order took ages to take, and drinks to ages to turn up.
Then there’s their reimagined Mexican food using Aussie produce. I mean … that really should be an amazing opportunity, but the chef has decided to take bizarre things and try and make the place Michelin star worthy.
Beef tongue tacos, seriously? Who in their right mind would want that?
The octopus tacos was a 3 inch long tentacle that had the consistency and toughness of inch thick rope.
The pork quesadilla was reasonable, I guess, albeit in what appeared to be a shop bought tortilla.
The tomato salad was tiny, half the size of the salad the table of 3 were served, whom we shared jokes with over how average everything was.
The “Wagyu” steak had some authentic Mexican flavour to it, but there was nothing Wagyu about it with zero marbling of the steak, which was, to be fair, quite well cooked. But still dripping blood, which just indicated to a meat monkey like myself that they really didn’t know how to cook a steak properly.
And $80 for a set menu with limited options?
Overall, this was my worst Mexican food experience pretty much ever, and I’ve had food poising from street food in Mexico City and also eaten a lot of Taco Bell
Their tacos are a flavour fiesta, and the endless margaritas menu is a dream come true. The menu’s a work of art, showcasing the best of Aussie ingredients. The place was so intimate, cosy & romantic and the food was incredible. Every bite was perfection, but the tacos, wagyu, and chocolate dessert stole the show (that ganache-like texture, though!)
Our dining experience was absolutely amazing, and we’re already planning our next visit to discover more of their amazing dishes! Hurry up and book

The food tastes weird – has a lot of weird twists in each dish. Very small portions – fine dining type of portions, though I wouldn’t class the restaurant as fine dining type, or even the fancy type. It feels like the place is giving ‘fake fancy’
However, the service was good. We feel like we’re being looked after. There was a Latina life music.
We’re just disappointed that we had to pay too much money for a food that was not even good, or filling at all.
