Always Fantastic def go back time and time again. and would highly recommend.
Good food as always. Service used to be worse, we'd just get ignored by the servers but now its better.
A good place to bring along work colleagues and friends.
Absolutely loved my visit here. Great food and fast service. I will be coming back again!
Food here is delicious! Taco Tuesdays are great value and the tacos come out quite quickly. The amazing food always has me coming back. Service can be a bit slow and impersonal but I guess thats what happens when they are busy.
Very mechanical environment - separate waiters and no real consistency in service. As a friend of mine had allergies there were questions that were inconsistently answered. My partner didn’t get what he ordered in tacos - all come out together and no one takes the time to explain what is what or follow up if you have a question.
Great food - plenty of flavourful options, as well as lovely service.
Great value for money, great food and drinks, good service
Brilliant service and amazing tacos! We will definitely be returning!
Overall was good but felt like we were rushed to order food
Love the tacos and good service and value for money!
Tacos were particularly salty, everything had a little too much sauce, including the corn
Great food, especially fish taco and guac! mocktail was great too. atmosphere is quite noisy
Quite noisy but nice atmosphere. The staff were quite rude and shoo'd us off your table. This has happened twice when we've been chatting and still drinking wine and the staff ask you to pay and leave. I understand there's other people waiting but it does ruin the experience a little bit. The food and value is great but service needs to be better.
Best tacos in Sydney! Love the cheap tacos and margaritas on Tuesdays
Most of all, the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!
Tables are a bit jammed. Would be useful to have a spice guide next to the menu items, background music could be turned down. Overall the food was fantastic and came out quickly.
Amazing food and always amazing service. The pork tacos are great.
They are soooooo understaffed! Although margaritas were 👌 they were served after 2x courses of our food arrived, ridiculous!!!. Guac was delicious but putting it politely, won’t be going back in any hurry
Great food and atmosphere! The staff were all very friendly
Great modern Mexican fusion food. The set menus are great value for money.
Great food, perhaps a few more staff needed to be able to serve everyone
Everything was great. I will go there again in the near future.
Came for Taco Tuesday. They're bigger than I expected, the toppings sitting in colourful mounds atop the warm toasted tortilla. The fish tacos are fabulous - lightly battered fish that is moist inside, not dry, and the chipotle mayo is on point. The meat ones were OK too.
Service was extremely slow and had to wait for order for a lengthy period. Dessert came out after the first round of tacos. Then we were told that we had to leave by 1pm - disappointing
Great food, service and atmosphere - would definitely go again!
Love the food and atmosphere, however sometimes it’s a bit of a wait, but well worth it
Great food. Love the tuesday tacos. Fast service. Tad noisy
The restaurant and the staff were awesome. The food was delicious and so were the drinks. However I wish the staff knew more about types of drinks being served and the bartender was more attentive to find the best drink for me. Other than that everything was perfect. Would definitely do it again.
Nice food and good service, food was quick and tasty
Delicious food, fresh and tasty. Very quick service in a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere. Will be going back
Excellent variety of great tacos at a very good price
My favourite lunch time place to go with work colleagues.
Great food, tacos are amazing, would rate & go again.
A perfect lunch during the business week. Food was tasty, quick to arrive and the service was great. Price was very good too. Will definitely be back.
Delicious food and great service. The $3 tacos are definitely worth it! Can’t wait to try them again
Taco Tuesday deal and drinks happy hour is great value.
Great food and atmosphere. Taco Tuesday are a must do!!!
Need to book - fabulous tasty tacos ! Friendly staff and a quick delicious conversational meal
overall okay experience this time, service was not as good as previous times, staff were a bit less attentive, but it is a Tuesday n given that they were fairly busy, it is understandable.
Would definitely go there again. The cheeseburger spring rolls were absolutely delicious, as were the tacos. Sweet potato chips too soggy though.
The tacos made us very thirsty afterwards. We had to drink at least 1 litre of water. I think it’s the msg.
Delicious food that was well priced. Friendly service . .
Perhaps some south American tunes would add to the experience, but overall an enjoyable lunch
it was great value for money, delicious food and quick service
Delicious food - loved the barbecued corn and guacamole combo. The frozen margaritas went down a treat!!
Good food and good service. Went on a busy Tuesday night
I am a regular at Contrabando because they continue to deliver a great experience. I'll be back again soon.
Great music, food, drinks and service. Would highly recommend! X
Great food, friendly staff and awesome atmosphere. Will come back
