I noticed this new cafe had opened on the ground floor of the photography college while walking past recently and decided to give it a try. Turned out this was a very good decision. Despite being a little unorganised, which I put down to being a new establishment, the food is excellent. I got a beef burrito with cabbage slaw and a Jarritos Mexican cola for $14. The food was very tasty, well presented, and filling. The inside of the cafe is pleasant, though there's only one large table which you will have to share. The al fresco seating area out front is less inviting - the furniture is not the nicest and the deafening roar of traffic along City Road makes it difficult to hear a conversation....

Strapped for time but starved I popped in to see if there was anything to grab for a quick breakfast before work. Being gluten free the chef whipped up some scrambled eggs and fresh greens for me with a "healthy" side of bacon to go. Under $10. Quirky little place that is eclectic and charming while keeping in tune to the genuine Bo-Ho feel of good unpretentious eats. A++

Bland food that doesn't reflect traditional Mexican cuisine at all, food in Mexico is simple but full of flavour which this definitely is not. The venue has terrible decor and it wasn't a pleasant experience with rude, yelling, stressed staff and loud Spotify ads (so crass, come on pay the $12 a month) definitely won't waste another lunch break here.

They serve sandwiches and a pretty good version of Mexican food down under. The owner/chef is a character and is good for a chat as he is preparing your food. The breakfast burrito is as big as your forearm and will have you skipping lunch if you can manage to finish it for breakfast.
