I have been to this restaurant several times for the same meal, the fajitas. They are to die for. So good I have driven over 50 minutes and put up waiting half an hour to get it! Not enough staff on so you get ignored most of the time and the tables don't really accommodate for the amount of food you get with your fajitas but the food is excellent, great value for money.

The service was atrocious. The waiters hawk you at the door. You are then expected to leave within 50 mins. The food takes 25 mins to arrive. The waiter brings you the bill whilst you are still eating. Then the waiter comes up to you and asks you to pay the bill and leave within 5 mins as they have bookings. Very Rude! Only to realise they don't have bookings they just want a high turnover so they can hawk others in. Seems like they don't care about customer service. They just want high turnover and money. Totally not recommended. Food is above average.

I walked out of here loving it so had to comment. Bit disappointed to see the reviews below (if I had read them first I would have missed out!) But I have to say YUM YUM YUM!!! Nachos are delicious but servings are not big. Got a fajita for mains and they were divine!

I have been here several times and come back only because I get desperate for a burrito. However, I have never experienced good service here and have to wonder why I bother going back. The food is good, not great and definitely hit or miss. Sometimes it can be quite good, but on my last visit the prawn enchilada was dry, overcooked, and just uninspiring, the perfect way to describe the wait staff too, who are always pushing the overpriced cocktails on you.

Food is alright but the price is far too expensive when compare to what you got. Moreover, the cocktails are overpriced!!

My boyfriend took me here on the weekend because he knows I love a good nachos. When it did arrive I was disappointed. The cheese was dry on the cornchips and its tasted stale. I don't even know whether it had been in the oven. I had the white wine sangria which was refreshing. The waiter who served us was grumpy and obviously overworked while we had to endure the consequences of his mood. I don't think I'll be coming back..

I was also here as part of a booking. The nachos and tacos were nice, but I believe that's all that was Mexican about it. The menu offered a variety of dishes that seemed more Spanish-inspired than what the restaurant boasts "Mexican-inspired". I thought twice, but I should have thought three times about ordering the Paella ("Spanish rice") which was served on a sizzing plate and was way over-sauced and rather stingy on the seafood.

The waiter knew what he was doing, however he carried that air of superiority (aka "snobbish attitude") that would annoy the average customer. His impatience showed later as he was serving the dishes.

In short, come here for a quick bite of nachos and tacos, but if you're looking for good service and a hearty meal, try elsewhere.

Food 1 Ambience 1 Service 1 Value 1

 

Were here as part of a group booking. Way too many people were crammed into the restaurant, and it was virtually impossible to move from your chair once you had been seated.

The food was absolute disappointing. Nothing Mexican at all about it. The service was stale and snooty. As for value for money - an absolute rip-off. No BYO so people are forced to buy overpriced swill. Gordon Ramsey required urgently!

Excellent experience! Loved the huge range of delicious cocktails.....can't believe the flavours and presentation...the tequillas were exceptional...just a huge tip to all that are reading this, have the tequilla with the sangrita!! It is a must to sip along side the tequilla with your meal.

Now lets get started on the food...WOW!! the buritto delmar, the freshest most delicious seafood...to die for!! The fajita chicken, prawn and chirizo was sensational, we also had a seafood honey mustard fajita, I just don't know which meal was better than the other!

For entree we had a cheese dip and a nachos with grilled chicken....do you believe after all that the 3 of us shared a serve of churros (Spanish donuts)....needless to say we rolled ourselves out of the restaurant onto Chapel St......well done guys, the service was great to top it off!!! The only thing that was not the best was the wait for our table..the place was jam packed...but I guess after such a great night I would definitely come back but make a reservation next time!
