Fresh food, but not very "Mexican". A kind-of "dumbed-down" array of flavors.

Contrary to many of the reviews below, I found this a fantastic experience. I was recommended this place by locals and while on holiday's in Melbourne had the pleasure of 2 visits to this great little place. First time round was on a hot summer's night simply for a couple of jug's of great sangria. Second time round was the full experience and having travelled to mexico this food is just as good as any I had during my time there.
Real shredded beef in the enchilada's and nacho's and plenty of spice. And I have to mention the great churro's to finish. It's a great relaxed vibe and the staff were better than average, but not what you will find in some of the finer Melbourne establishment's, but it works. Maybe Melbourne is spoilt for choice in this type of food, because I haven't found anywhere close to good mexican fare so far in Sydney. I've recommended this place to other travelling Sydneysider's recently and they have had the same positive feedback.

Having lived in southern california I know my standards for mexican food are quite high, but this was awful by anyone's opinion. The platter of dips was absolutely tasteless, we couldn't even figure out what two of them were, "is this supposed to be black beans, or olives?" "is this supposed to be sun-dried tomato, or carrot?"... the cornbread was also next to tasteless and didn't resemble any cornbread I have ever eaten.
The food prices were astronomical and the food wasn't anywhere near worth that much. Margaritas STARTED at $16 and went upwards from there. I left feeling as though I didn't eat anything because there was no taste left over in my mouth!!

Really enjoyed this restaurant. On a Saturday night it was very busy, inside is quite noisy and crowded so I prefer the tables out the back in the courtyard. Despite being very busy our waitress was polite and attentive. Loved the Mexican tapas platters and the cocktails are great. There is only one dessert on the menu and that's Spanish donuts with 3 different dipping sauces, very good. Great place for a night out with friends.

Maybe I shouldn't be writing a review for this place. I didn't actually get to try any of their food. Their service was so bad on the night that we went, we ended up saying 'thanks but no thanks' when the waiter finally came back with our venue, a bit of a shame as I've always wanted to try their interesting menu and I love mexican. Unfortunately, everytime I suggest it, the other half looks at me in horror.

Heard lots of great reviews of this restaurant and was quite disappointed. The food was surprisingly bland and it was lucky that they supplied a big bottle of habeneros sauce because, otherwise, it would have been an even bigger disaster!
Description of one of the specials was also inaccurate, baked scallops was in fact a messy scallops bake (a tortilla, corn, beans, mashed avocado and bits of scallop with tomato topping). Yep, you guessed it! Not the most appetising combination. We also tried the tasting plate and received the wrong one. However, the actual dish was okay, the best we had that night. I would say it was only average in terms of value...
We also tried the beef with rice and refried beans, once again passable but nothing memorable. Thank god for the habeneros sauce!! The service was quite friendly and quick. I didn't think much of the backpacker, young St Kilda vibe but I can imagine it would be quite a nice atmosphere for a large group of friends looking for a few nice cocktails but that's not why I was there. Unfortunately, disappointing overall...

I was quite disappointed by this one. Many friends had recommended this place, but the food wasn't up to much. Guacamole isn't just a slightly mashed avocado is it? Most of the wine menu was missing. The food was very average. The staff were charming though, and the aspect in summer would be very nice.

This place is a good effort of "creative" interpretation of mexican food, but simply put it is not mexican. I guess my problem was that I was expecting real mexican food, the staff was absolutely lovely but the food was well, horrible. The clash of sweet flavours (which is very rare in Mexican cuisine mains) with sour cream and blackbeans just thrown randomly was tought to stomach, I couldn't finish my meal. Being born and raised in Mexico city was extremely disappointed, but my partner who is Australian loved it.
