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!

Let me say that the reason there's such a discrepancy between their intagram, face book and reviews on trip advisor is that they offer discounts for positive reviews, which I think is unethical. A 10% discount for a hashtag of besttacosever and similar things such as iloveplaya are listed as incentives on the 1st page of the menu. You post a photo, you show the staff, you get the discount. The food is average at best, the meats are not well seasoned and the sauces that come on the tacos are lacking, but there's no other sauces on the table. Our drinks order was wrong. We had a very tasty burrito, but again, not well seasoned. I think they could do better, considering there are so many awesome Mexican restaurants in Sydney already.

There's a reason this place won Sydney's best burrito 2016. Delicious. Great service. Loved it. Highly recommended. read more There's a reason this place won Sydney's best burrito 2016. Delicious. Great service. Loved it. Highly recommended.

It was difficult to ask for any level of service, we had to ask twice for our guacamole and chips - it finally arrived at the end of the meal and it was obvious by the cold brown avocado that this had been prepared hours ago . And then the corn ..... where not burnt it was raw . An interesting combination . Tacos were soggy and cold. Really wanted to like this place but on this visit it was not to be unfortunately .
