The food, the setting, and drinks were amazing. I cannot fault anything. The colleagues are very well trained, shared a lot of knowledge about the food and drink. I appreciated that they allow a table to have mixed groups of set menu & a la carte, which allowed us to try many new dishes. The only thing i could wish for is more staffs during lunch time. With only 2-3 waiters, it was a bit too slow during packed lunch hours.

I would say this restaurant was the most perfect experience we have ever had to start off with they space out the guests perfectly it’s not cramped and the seats and very comfortable, I very much dislike venues where you are sitting next to your partner and you have to yell this have a very nice intimate feel. S ervice wise the staff were good, I know at times I can be pretty particular about some preferences, Mariana was our main waitress and I’ve never experienced such perfect service I thought she was a part owner as she was very diligent respectful and responsive. The food taste and baseline of quality was 10/10 for every dish and drink, nothing in sydney comes close to the experience, hats off to this restaurant I hope they keep their good staff and chefs around for a long time 🥂

I have been here twice now for their set lunch menu. It’s 59$ per person is very good option if you are in CBD and want to enjoy a nice Mexican lunch. We had guacamole + chips, shrimps, in mains we had chicken dish and mushroom taco, sides were duck fat potatoes and charred cabbage. Everything was amazing in taste and presentation.

Simply wonderful and what a surprise to find such an original and quality restaurant next to where I have worked for 2 yrs! It is so deceptive from the outside, but inside the vibe is fun, wonderful Mexican music playing, its cool and sltye menu is so refreshingly different. I enjoyed the best cocktail I have had in Australia….a take on a colada with Coconut foam and my partner had an Old Fashionwd with a chocolate topping Our food was bursting with flavour Crab, Octopus and then a Baramundi, broccoli and cream corn main to share. Every dish was totally original and I am happy to say this is now one of my favourite restaurants in Sydney!!!

Fabulous meal! The staff was super attentive, great ambiance and the food is absolutely delicious as always. I come to this place at least once a month and it never misses. Special shoutout to Axel for taking care of us tonight and singing happy birthday to my partner so cheerfully - what a beautiful voice! Most of the menu is gluten free, very coeliac friendly. 11/10 will always recommend
