    Service was very poor. There was no shortage of staff but the sever was constantly taking with bar staff, back to the restaurant. Had to grab his attention on multiple occasions for drinks etc. Food was ok.

    Hi Tony, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that the service didn’t meet your expectations during your visit. This isn’t the standard we strive for at Bandita. We really appreciate your feedback and would love the opportunity to discuss this in more detail so we can address it with our team. If you can, please email me via our website (Open Table won't allow me to share our email address in this comment). Cheers, The Bandita Familia

    Food was absolutely delicious, service was so fast and friendly. Price was proportionate to the serving sizes. My favourite was the pork taco and the corn chips and guacamole. 😄🙌
