    Food and service was great, noise level was little loud, little cramped in courtyard dinning (2 Seater), Cocktails a little pricey.

    This is one of the best little restaurants Melbourne keeps secret. The food is sensational, the service relaxed yet attentive, and the place is simply humming. Awesome place for a catch up with friends and I’ll certainly be going back.

    Celebrating our son finishing his final VCE exam - his request for one of his favorite restaurants. We weren't disappointed and his Nana got converted to Mexican food.

    Very disappointing. We have been many times before and had a great night. This time the service was non existent, had to ask for plates after the food arrived, they had trouble finding enough! No glasses either! We had to ask to order drinks each time. Dessert arrived after a very long wait, only 1 small churro each, very small, then straight away we were told we had to vacate the table for the next seating. Sadly, we'll be finding another restaurant for our gatherings...

    Unfortunately the service wasn’t great, after our order was taken no one came to check on us or ask if we needed anything else. Shame, as we were keen to try more cocktails, but left feeling a bit underwhelmed.

    Understaffed considerimg how musy it was for a Wednesday night. The owner was sitting at the bar right near the kitchen. The kitchen rang the bell for 3 times when the food was ready, all the floor staff were busy taking order from other tables. The owner does not move at all and ended up letting the kitchen staff to serve the food to the floor. Whacking the vibe. Go do your laptop at home if you're not gonna work at your own workplace.

    This place has a lovely feel-good buzz about it. The margaritas are excellent and they have an impressive range of tequilas and mezcals. The menu is relatively limited focusing on tacos, enchiladas and guacamole but it’s interesting and feels authentic. Not the usual mainstream Mexican. Special shout out for the zucchini tacos, which are amazing. The churros are also noteworthy. On a busy night you might have to wait a little for service, fair enough. The staff are friendly.
