    The real deal - sohpisticated Mexican cuisine, not Tex-Mex (or Aus-Mex, whichever term you prefer). Every dish was excellent.

    We had a lovely meal. We just found the ‘duf dud’ music too loud to hold a conversation. And it would have been more pleasant had it be quieter and more enjoyable to the theme of the restaurant eg mexican music.

    I never leave reviews. Our amazing 7 course meal, sitting comfortably on the terrace, looking at the river and the Melbourne skyline, is among the sublimest dining experiences we have ever had. 5 stars.

    The food was extremely tasty, and while the price of individual plates is above average for a typical Mexican restaurant, they are to share and so can be divided by 2, 3 or 4. Just remember to check the number of tortillas that accompany the plate - there were four of us but we only received three pieces with each plate.

    True Mexican dining experience with knowledgable staff and fabulous food options. The dishes arrived in quick succession and were interesting flavourful and so much more authentic than your average Mexican restaurant... go if you like being adventurous with your food and appreciate a little heat and new flavours!
