The meals were large and tasty. They are very filling. We all enjoyed our meals but I do have to say my tequilla prawns were not as good as they used to be. I just realised after reading the reviews that it has changed hands from the lovely lady who used to run it. Service was ok in general.

Having only had coffee here before I was a little daunted by some of the reviews but I finally tried the Mexican last week and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I was part of a large group (14 people) and everyone was satisfied with their food. My chicken tostada was tender and tasty. I must particularly mention the waitress who was one of the most courteous and professional I've ever encountered, especially at this price range.
She remembered everybody's order with none of that "who ordered the burrito?" nonsense. I also liked the corn chips which were more like those you get in the US than the highly flavored ones that tend to be used here. We had proper wine glasses too.

Well, I used to go when the Chilean couple owned it and I got take away the other day for the first time since they left and I must say it was really good!!! I was expecting it to be bad 'cause that's what usually happens when there's a change of hands, but I must say I was not disappointed. Being Latin American myself I was very happy with my food. Give them a go and don't get nasty!

We went here for breakfast today. Food was good, generous serves, reasonable price, nice ambient music and friendly staff, but like all places, they forget water. Scrambled eggs were a little overdone, but I was so impressed with the poached eggs that I joined eatability just to rate them! Set on the outside, but perfectly runny in the centre, not many places seem to get this right. Great sides with the breakfast, will order the spinach and mushrooms again.

I am shocked at the reviews I have just read. This is the best Mexican I have had in Sydney. My wife and I took out 5 year old daughter tonight and were extremely impressed. Fantastic ambience and the food ! We all shared a very generous $9 bean/cheese/corn chip entree.
My wife had the chicken Fajitas and I had the chicken enchiladas for mains....took a nice bottle of red and had a great time, all for a measly $46 ! Service is good. about the only complaint was the lack of proper wine glasses for our red but again $46 ! Will be back very soon.

I don't know where the negative reviews are coming from but this place is the best Mexican I have had in Sydney in 5 years. We went in on a saturday night where at least 15 people were already eating (busy for the size of the place) and every table but one was reserved. They put our beers straight in the fridge (even gave us lime for our corona) and we didn't need to ask them to bring more beers when we'd finished. The atmosphere is nice, service is excellent, and the food is well like I said the best in Sydney in my opinion.

The day we arrived the service was fast, efficient and friendly, but considering it was 6.45pm and we were the only customers there I guess anything else would be hideous...just like the food. The salsa verde was not verde (i.e. green); in truth it COULD have been a salsa roja not what we ordered though it was edible. My main was the mole poblano which I could not finish. The chicken meat was stringy but worse was that the sauce seemed to have been made out of several blocks of Roses chocolates. It was sweet and sickly in a way that authentic mole poblano never is and was never meant to be. If they had even bothered to have the chef taste his own creation maybe this wouldn't have happened.
When we raised this with management after a bit of scurrying about one said to the other something about "I told him (the chef) not to put too much in." Well whatever it was wasn't Mexican chocolate. Hint: even if you have to buy the paste, "Rogelio Bueno" makes a good one you can get from a food importation store. Invest in a heap of 'em. It won't cost you too much. As for me, I should have read the reviews published here before wasting my money on glug masquerading as Mexican food.

What a disaster this place is now. The original Mexican people that "time shared" this cafe have not returned as I thought. It the same old "bitter queens" that run it during the day. Anyone could make better Mexican at home with one of the El Paso kits. What a disappointment. The previous MEXICAN people were really nice and the food was great. NOT ANY MORE.

Terrible service. My first thoughts after dining there was to come on to this website and give it a disappointing review. We waited an hour and a half for our entree and then a further 30 minutes for our main, while the table next to us arrived an hour after we did, and received their meals within 25 minutes of ordering. I highly recommend against eating here. A thousand thumbs down for this "restaurant".

I'd read all the reviews, and when I was invited to dinner at the Chocolate Dog Cafe Mexican by Night I thought Oh well I'll just have to see how I go. Well I can tell you that I had a fantastic night! The food was great especially the Chicken Mole (chocolate chicken). The staff were really helpful and the atmosphere very relaxing. I would recommend this Cafe to anyone. Best Mexican I have had in ages.
