Amazing tacos and every quick service. Will definitely be coming back!
I’m here at least once a month, seriously obsessed! Everyone I bring here loves it
We had a really great night at Taco Tuesday!! Good times all around
Delicious tacos, fast service and good wine / beer selection.
Food is great. Service is so slow! Very slow actually. For the type of food they are serving, (taco’s) on a board - open - each dish comes out 10mins apart. Ordering 5 dishes took close to an hour to serve.
I am Mexican and the food was terrible no taste no nothing ,,,,bad ,,,
Food, drinks, service and atmosphere was great! Would recommend to other diners.
Great vibe and good food. Gluten free set menu was really good, except perhaps the calamari was a little over cooked - but overall delicious. enjoyed the margarita and sangria - will definitely be back.
This was a fantastic experience. The food was incredible and the service was impeccable. The fact that my girlfriend broke up with me over dinner didn't ruin the meal itself
Tacos are tasty as always. really lovely waitress receiving us at the entry. packed as always fir a Tuesday, but serving speed was very reasonable.
staff was not friendly today and got the order wrong
It was a friendly restaurant, a great place to meet with friends for a catch up as the set menu made it easy for us to chat with out worrying about ordering
The staff forgot our order and we waited at least half an hour longer for some tacos. Ths staff also wanted to take away our dishes when not finished.
Excellent experience - great tasting food, great range of drinks and quick service. Will definitely come back and recommend to others
Was great, feel a bit rushed but they are super busy!
Contrabando has never failed to deliver a enjoyable meal. Tasty tacos served with a smile. I’ve already booked my next sitting!
Delicious tacos, great fillings and flavors to choose from. Will be back
Had the set Mexicola set menu and we enjoyed it so much
Food was great and good value for money on Tuesdays. Service was a little lacking and slow at times. Waiters asked what we would like to order but I had to repeat the order each time as they did not have their iPad open yet. If you are asking what I would like to order that usually implies you are ready to actually take the order.
Great food and service, would highly recommend for work or social events
Love everything about this place. Delicious food. Bit too much onion in guacamole
We had a quick meal before show at Opera House. The service was fantastic and the tacos so tasty, especially enjoyed the fish ones. Topped off with classic Margaritas
Great food and good value with groupon and nice atmoshere
The tacos were delicious, service was friendly and attentive and the waitress made really great recommendations. We will definitely be back!
Great food great staff. Thanks to all and sorry for staying so long!
Vegetarian fixed menu meal was super yummy. Great service too!
Best fish tacos. Beef was a close second favorite. Can't believe how affordable the beers are. $10 for an Asahi Pint.
Fantastic food and service even during lunch rush. Great unique dishes. Will definitely be back.
Too noisy, waited to long for the food between courses
Taco Tuesday gold. Will be going back. Great service staff
Good food, great service, however, just a little bit far to walk from Sydney CBD.
The tacos were amazing! New people are recommending friends !
Had the five course express lunch. Quality was good but portion size was small.
always amazing drinks and food, friendly service as well, definitely recommend
Great fast service, was great to sit outside! Awesome :)
Considering you can get all you can eat tacos for $25 the quantity was lacking for the express lunch. The food that was included was very tasty. Just need more of it.
The banquet is outstanding value for only $40pp. They very helpfully have an entirely GF set menu option and happily accommodated a dietary requirement to leave avo/guac out of some dishes. Delicious So Cal themed food. Whilst there was plenty to be had on the set menu option it was filling because of its volume rather than being very meat/carb heavy, or overly greasy as can often happen with this style of food. Lovely staff and excellent margaritas (with quality tequila). Highly recommended.
Great service and great food every time. We’ll be back.
Very good Mexican-inspired food with a twist. Service was quick, maybe even a bit too quick - in total, the whole dinner only lasted around 40 minutes! Would recommend / go again.
Great food, great atmosphere, great service. Love it. Highly recommended
Great visit each time, good service & food!! Quick lunch service.
Brilliant lunchtime venue, would recommend the great selection of taco to anyone.
Great experience...food was amazing and great service!! Love it! Will return
Amazing food and staff made for a great experience. Would highly recommend
Good atmosphere, the good was nice especially the corn! However we could hear some rude comments from the staff
Tuesday $3 taco deal is the best! The menus keep changing ad well
Love this place, express lunch is actually express. It's hot, fresh, full of flavour and each time I have been I thoroughly love the food. Can't wait to go back
Great experience! So glad the Korean chicken and popcorn prawn tacos are back 👌🏽
Food was so good but the wait times for food were a bit disappointing.
Sensational food at great prices. I will definitely be back!
