Despite the request for mine to be spicy it was not. Had to ask for sauces and the hot sauce was good and hot.The wine was overpriced. All up over $60 for two burritos, guacomale entree and two drinks which was reasonable but could do better. Mad Mex equivalent.

Tacos were genuinely some of the best I've eaten and the veggie nachos were huge and very tasty. Spicy margarita was good, but not the best in Sydney. Service was friendly but it seemed like the woman's first ever day as a waitress, although I'm fairly sure it wasn't! Although the food was good, I am surprised at the other reviews on TripAdvisor, and I admit, it will make me think twice before revisiting, purely because it isn't terribly cheap and it sounds like plenty of others have had bad experiences. But give it a go and see for yourself!
