A night out with friends and family at this poor excuse for a restaurant has to be one of the most disgusting dining experiences I have ever had. Started off by ordering Deluxe Nacho's for an entree. When they finally turned up they were just a plain order with ingredients missing. We then waited another hour and a half for our main course though we noticed other tables getting their food quicker, having arrived after us. We finally got the attention of a waitress who at first gave us the 'talk to the hand' gesture and questioned as to why our meals haven't arrived. They claimed that the order was misplaced and offered no apologies. All they could say was that it wasn't their fault. Nonetheless we paid for our drinks and left. This will be one place I will avoid until management changes hands and they learn a little customer service. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

I advise you to not dine there. Waitress's are impatient, the food comes drenched in sauce, oil and so much sour cream it's inedible and all for 20 bucks. Strongly suggest taking your money elsewhere!

I have eaten here a number of times. The food portions are a good size but they would want to be for the price. A bit over priced and the service was terrible they kept trying to push dessert and coffee on us and hinting they wanted our table.

Worst Mexican food ever. The fajitas were actually cooked in teriyaki sauce. The meat was terrible. Fajitas were accompanied with wet lettuce, microwave rice and guacamole. We eat a lot of Mexican and recommend you go elsewhere. Felt sick after eating.

What a fun restaurant! Went with some friends a couple of weeks ago. We shared the 3 dips and stuffed jalapenos for entree which were both mouth watering. The chilli con queso was to die for.

Can get a little noisy but I think that's just because everyone is having a good time. When it's someone's birthday, the waitresses turn the lights off while they bring the birthday cake out and get everyone to sing happy birthday. A sombrero is put on the birthday person's head as well. Lovely to hear the whole restaurant sing along and get involved.

If you like restaurants that are noisy and inconsistent in food and service this is for you, especially Saturday nights. Waited one and one half hours for the main course. The meals varied between poor and good. Drinks left on table we didn't order and ones we did not received. Waitress spilt drinks on the table and left us to clean up, advised with attitude that meals would be coming soon! On leaving was told that the kitchen was short handed, however a steady stream of "Take away " customers seemed to indicate a preference for "Take away" custmers over Diners.

My first visit and what a gem of a find. This place rivals the Mexican eateries found in the inner west. Probably the best Mexican restaurant south of Sydney. Tasty food with generous portions and reasonable prices. You definitely won't leave here hungry. Our host was very hospitable and most knowledgeable about the dishes. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

First time eating here on a busy Friday night and it was amazing! We love Mexican food and we were not disappointed. The staff were lovely, the food was incredible and the service was amazing for how many people were there tonight! Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu - great value for money!

One of my favourite restaurant. I am such a regular there! I always go for the deep fried jalapenos and Nachos which are unbelievably tasty! Chili con queso is another to try to get your tastebuds tingling! Service is fantastic, always so friendly and helpful! We love the mexican Food.
