Fantastic nachos and service!!
It was such a delight to be here last Saturday night, and managed to get in time before it started to get busy, so ordering and being seated weren't rushed.
As soon as we were seated, we were served some nuts and other spiced savoury sweets from the waiter to share, and began the ordering process. In order to try out some of the things you wouldn't normally get elsewhere (like tacos and burritos), we decided to order four different dishes as follows:
1) Nachos (veg. $13.90)
2) Veracruz Grilled Squid & Arroz ($17.90)
3) Slow Cooked Lamb Enchiladas ($22.50)
4) Tortila Lasagna ($18.90)
Can I just say that these were the best nachos I've ever tasted?! I kno...

Food here was good, but I wouldn't rate a 4.5 (admittedly in general I think it's hard for Mexican to get a rating that high). It's a nice venue with modern decor in great location. Staff are pretty good. I preferred the seafood options (**** burrito, prawn tacos). Found the meat dishes to be less enjoyable - a hit too much happening. We spent 260 for 4 adults and 5 kids (inc alcohol) which I thought was relatively good value.
I ordered a beer, but service was so slow that it arrived after the food had arrived.In fairness, when the cashier asked me how I enjoyed it, and I told her, she discounted the cost of the drink, and was most apologetic. I had a roast mushroom fajita, which tasted nice, but was luke warm. Whether it was put on to a cold plate or not have been promptly served to my table, or both, I don't know.

We were pleased to return to this restaurant following its move from Bedford Park. It now has much more room, and you can also reserve a table. The food is delightful. Certainly not the usual run of the mill variety of so-called Mexican restaurants. They had a good selection of Mexican beers as well - we tried the Red Pig Ale, which had a great taste, full of flavour.
We came here for a pre footy game feed. Staff were friendly enough and the restaurant has a chilled relaxed vibe. Food was ok, nothing really wowed me but it was perfect for a fast meal in a hurry. I'd really liked the prawn taco and the eggplant taco was also quite tasty with tempura eggplant and black beans. Would go again for a quick meal.
I went last night with a friend and lied it here so much! I can't wait to go back already! The tacos were yummy and a great entree size and price and the burrito bowl was sooo good too! The service was upbeat and the vibe was nice. Sangria was good-strong! Definitely a must try if you're a fan of Mexican ????
I'm not known for giving 5 stars very often but this place is simply the best Mexican food I have had the pleasure of eating in Australia
The quality of the food is backed up by quick professional and helpful service in a great setting, not to mention affordable
Try the duck tacos if you go

Portions a bit small for the price but great tasting food and good service. Great sort of place for meeting up with a group of friends. Has tapas style dishes as well as larger ones.
I had heard mixed reviews of Lucky's and was never able to make it to their place down south so when they moved it was a bonus that they were closer.
