Probably the worst restaurant I have ever been to.

The service was ok, the staff seemed generally friendly, however, thats where it ended. Ordered the Tex-Mex which is a side of chilli con carne and a chicken schnitzel.

The chilli con carne was filled with horrible looking chunks of meat instead of the mince I was expecting. The meat itself was disgusting, it looked like it was the offcuts from their steak.

The "Chicken Schnitzel" was a tiny piece of chicken, that was very dry and slightly burned.

Needless to say my dish was pretty much inedible, and I walked out of there feeling hungry and very ripped off. Avoid at all costs.

Had dinner there tonight, taken to table. Sat for 2 minutes then had cockroach crawl across table and sideplate.

Moved tables as no waiter came by for a few minutes. Waiter finally came to the new table. Told of cockroach, his response 'we just had the pest control in today so there are probably a few about'!

Waiter then took our drinks orders. Within two minutes the bartender had the drinks ready at the bar and rang the bell for the waiter. 5 minutes later they were still sitting on the bar, the beer half flat with no head. So I went to get them myself. Another 5 minutes later the waiter finally came by to take orders. After taking orders he took the napkin and placed on our laps. My son then looked at his to find that it was unclean with large white sauce stains.

Restaurant senior staffs response 'really?' as for the food, well have had better mexican for half the price, without the poor service, unclean environment or crawling insects. Avoid the place!

It surprises me that the restaurant is always packed but the food and service we received was less than satisfactory. Although the staff were friendly, they were slow and didn't respond to my request with what would happen to my credit card behind the bar I used when they hadn't set up our table for our reservation time.

The food was average and was also poorly presented. My partner ordered beef fajitas and expected to have tender shredded beef, which they had beef mince with no flavour. I would safely say that I was disappointed and wouldn't return to the restaurant - which is a shame!

Had an enjoyable night out. We did choose to sit outside as we felt the music was a tad to loud inside. They had the banquet which is normally set for 10 but they went out of their way and adjusted to suit 6 only of us. Our drinks were always full and always food on the table. The waitressess were friendly and helpful. Our group have been to many restaurants and this was the only one which got our coffees correct. Yes we have no problems going back again as we had a good night and went home full.

Disappointing. We've been here once and had a fantastic meal. Second time around it was ridiculous. It was Valentines Day, although it was not a full house. It took an hour for our mains to arrive. During the wait, our waitress seemed to avoid us as we were obviously annoyed. Others around us were clearly frustrated with the poor service. We had to *ask* for our bill and after that, had to line up to pay, as the same waitress was also taking incoming customers. Food wasn't that great either.

Everytime I visit tequilas the food gets worse and the service concerning. Not sure if they're not training the waitresses as they have no clue whats going on and we have to repeat everything. Food quality is poor, the only decent thing about this place is the view.

What's with all the 14 year olds waiting tables!?! Nachos have shrunk in size, but the price certainly hasn't. I think every time I've been there, they're playing the same stupid mixed-tape! Tried booking for dinner on 12.12.11 and was told we had to be out by eight because they were having a Christmas Party. Strange restaurant they're running there.

4.9 is a little overrated if you ask me. I should've known better after hearing through the grapevine that this place is the absolute pits. Though, me dining there was inevitable because I absolutely love Mexican food and it is local.

We came in on a Thursday afternoon and it was quite chilly so we opted to sit inside but as soon as we were seated I realised that the tables were miniature compared to the ones outside, so we changed our minds.

Although the tables were bigger they were uncomfortably close to the ones inside, so much so that I might as well have asked the couple dining next to me to join us. Why the 1 inch seperation?

Anyway, as I was thinking how silly this concept was, I saw a plate of sizzling Chicken Fajitas being served right across from me. I had made up my mind, that's what I was having. My GF was already set on the 'Nachos Da Carne' before we even walked in.

It didn't take too long before her food arrived but due to some disorganisation in the kitchen, they sent mine 7 minutes later. It really bugs me when certain establishments do that, is it so hard to understand when people sit together, they eat together?

Well, despite the tardiness, the fajitas were good, not great, just good. Though, there was far more chicken than tortillas, whats that about?

My GF's dish on the other hand was horrendous, it wasn't ground mince, it was three large chunks of beef and not nearly enough for the stale nachos which was drowning in salsa and cheese with just a pinch of sour cream. If it looked like a nightmare you don't want to know what it tasted like.

Okay, so we had an inedible dish but the worst part was that not once did our waitress come check on us to see if everything was okay or a fill up on the drinks. I had to walk up to the counter to get her attention.

When she came to our table, we explained the mess and all she had to say was, "well, thats how it is"

Are you kidding me? There was no, "I'm sorry about that" or even "can I get you something else?" Just "thats how it is".

It was so insulting that I demanded that dish be taken off the bill. They eventually called the senior staff out who began to argue with me for a few minutes before finally conceding.

Ridiculous, I tell ya! I should've listened to the critics. The funny thing is, I usually only need one shot of Tequila before saying no more. So with this 'Tequila's', need I say more?

What a disgrace. We had a reservation there on Saturday night at 8pm. We were seated by the senior staff of the restaurant who was very polite but seemed to be intoxicated. The restaurant was approximately 60% full when we arrived. We ordered a bottle of wine that was listed on the drinks menu, only to be told that they don't keep that wine any more, so we requested another that was on the menu, the waitress informed us that one was out of stock, we then asked the waitress, if she could check what wines are available.

After 30 minutes it was obvious that she had forgoten to get back to us, so we ordered two beers while we waited in which we got in a couple of minutes. We ordered nachos and waited over an hour for it to arrive. I reminded the waitress about the wine that she was going to check for us, and with attitude and rolling her eyes she answered, you can see I'm busy I will get to it when I can.

The only word that comes to mind about the nachos is, disgusting. It was like eating cold rubber with no taste, It had totally glued itself together and we had to tear it apart. The worst thing of all was, when we went to pay the bill at the front counter, the senior staff of the restaurant was there to take our money. So I told him of our disappointment, By this time it was clearly obvious, he was much more intoxicated then when we arrived. He said nothing to us at all but just laughed and took our payment. Never again will we go back there and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I went here last week with friends for the first time and had the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant.

We booked for 7 pm, arrived at 7 pm to be told to go to the bar for a drink first, which was fine. The place was busy and about 4 couples and 2 groups came through after us and were seated before us. 30 minutes later I had to go to the front desk and ask if they had forgotten about us.

45 minutes later we were seated. Entree's took about 30 minutes then mains to almost an hour. The waitress asked who ordered the enchiladas I said yes, she put the plate slightly to the right of me so I had to touch it to move it in front of me. Big mistake. The plate was burning hot which she failed to tell me and when I screamed ouch she simply said 'woops', no sorry, and walked away.

After that I proceeded to eat my dish which was wrong. It was extremely spicy which I couldn't handle and didn't order. The inconsiderate waitress came back with my other friends dishes which I then explained to her mine was wrong. She took the plate away and 25 minutes later came back with the correct one along with a glass of ice which I asked for to stick my hands in to relieve the pain. By then friends had finished their food.

The senior staff then comes up to our group and asks how everything was, I told him what had happened and he said he would speak to the waitress after her shift.

When finally left 2.5 hours later (luckily we had no where to be) and the senior staff didn't offer a discount or even a free drink. My friends and I will never ever eat here again. I should have listened to people when they said this place was disappointing.
