    Somewhat tastey, but portions are comically small and pitchers are basically 2/3rds ice.

    I think this place is over rated. Music is too loud, no seat available. Tacos are cheap at $5 but not tasty. Drinks are mediocre. Maybe it's popular because it seems like lots hipsters come here.

    If you are sitting at the bench tables inside there's a hook on the wall for your bag and coat. How sensible!

    Food is ok. Been a bit disappointed with the last few meals I've had there. There are better Mexican options in Sydney now

    Tried twice, didn't like it. Under seasoned food and flavorless 'hot' sauces. I'm mexican and food doesn't really taste authentic. Sadly I was disappointed :(

    The vegetarian tacos were disgusting, mostly mayo. So NOT Mexican.
