Been here many times especially on a Mon-Wed for a nice $9 special, The food is healthy if you order the right things, go easy on the carbs etc etc, I like how you can see it made right in front of you and can choose little bits and pieces to go with this and that but its not al la carte type thing, its more casual dining. Any Mad mex in Sydney is highly recommended...

I have eaten here a few times & as far as qucik & healthy takeaway meals go this is great! - Slow cooked tender meat with fresh salsa's salads & sauces in an easy to walk & eat on the go style. I recommend this place if you are after a quick, cheap & healthy meal, if you want restaurant quality food, then I would not recommend it. It is what it is & it's great!

Great take away food. Been here quite often and love the food. Could do with a bit more meat in the food but still tasty.

Went to this place and ordered an enchilada with the lot. We moved along the counter adding the ingredients I wanted and finally got to the guacamole. I was told this could be added for an extra $2.00. I pointed out that I had ordered "with the lot" as per their sign and felt that I should not have to pay an extra $2 for a bit of avocado. I believe that their signs are misleading and so I left without tasting the food. Since when did "the lot" not include guacamole at a mexican restaurant?

Finally mexican that doesn't leave you feeling bloated and like you've eaten a grease bomb! I like the subway type ordering, it's fast, healthy and tasty.

Wow, great to have a Mexican restaurant in Blacktown. The black beans are the best I've tasted in Australia. The chicken burrito was fantastic. Value? I think so. Fresh and Filling for 10.00.

Thank You for bringing real mexican to Sydney! For the people who can appreciate real mexican tacqueria style food this is it with fillings like slow cooked beef until its shredded with subtle flavours like cumin, lime etc. This is the real stuff, with quality lean ingredients, this is exactly how it is in mexico and cali.

Extremely filling for under 10 dollars, great value should include a drink I think though at lunch, I just wish like their competitor Guzman y Gomez they had beef chilli! As per prev reviewer love the fact that staff that seem for the majority are spanish speaking, has a good vibe. Highly recommend this is the real deal.

What a disappointment. My food wasn't very good, gave up trying to chew through the strips of steak and just left them, but my wifes food was ok. Busy little place with a lot of competition around so I might give them another try. Had to wait for a table and then clear off the mess left by the last lot. As we ate, the queue for ordering were standing over our table making it hard to talk. Might try it for take away. A little pricey for the quality of the food.

This is as close as I've had in Sydney to California style Mexican food. The choice of burrito fillings is appropriate but with all the other fillings in the tortilla you don't get much meat. Had the chicken which had the correct marination, but a little salty. The salsa rated as "medium" was very hot. I like that most of the workers are Spanish speakers, whether or not they may be from Mexico. Agree with the previous reviewer that the prices are a little high and it's a bit rich to charge $2 for some avocado in the burrito. Overall, though, a tasty casual and quick food option for Westpoint shops.

When this first opened, people lined up, no longer which is a good thing for me.
The food itself is what I expected, but the amount of meat they gave you depends on the day, sometimes little, sometimes what you should expect. I ordered something else which I can not recall at the moment and it was suppose to have pineapple in it, well does one piece count?

Burrito's are very filling, its size is deceptive, its like a kebab squashed to half size. Nachos are good but are smaller in portion that they should be (in terms of the corn chips). $2 extra for guacamole, hmmm, do kebab places charge for what sauce they put on it! Its interesting to see that this is the first takeaway type franchise that sells alcohol.

Ambience, they have done it up nicely but the place feels small. Service, nil issues with this. Value: seems like anything new that opens up, it isn't a bargain and the food here is averaged around the $10 mark, reasonable priced but not cheap either.

Overall an average experience, if portions of meat and pineapple would be larger that would be good.
