Tacos and chips were amazing. The enchilada could have had a bit more punch to it.

The food was good. However the service was mediocre at best. Got food before drinks after 30 minutes at our table. Seemed short staffed.

The seafood curry paella was disgusting could not eat it. It only had 4 prawns on top of very soggy rice. Complained but got no response from the kitchen

Wouldn’t allow us to sit outside until we asked again. Wasn’t clear on how to order, we assumed table service. Wrong meals were delivered. We would have ordered more drinks but the line to order was too long so it was easier to just leave.

Pros: Lovely place, big dining area with plenty of tables and seating which are not too crowded. Ordering which was done at the bar. The server confirmed and double checked the order. Price was very reasonable. Had 3 appetizer, 2 mains, 1 mojito, 1 coke can and 1 sparkling water for $123. Cons: Ladies bathroom reminds me of a high school horror movie where someone can crawl under the stalls. $3.50 for a scoop of guacamole is daylight robbery!

There is no table service to order, you need to go to the bar to order, and there’s a long queue. The food was good but tacos very small for $8.50 each, so not good value. Margaritas were good. We found the other venue in the city much better. Glenelg lacked customer service.

Terrible from the minute we sat down! We ordered our drinks, they took ages to come, my sister got the lemon lime bittersk which she said did not taste like it had any bitters in it at all. I got a sparkling water which was a big 700 ml and it didn’t come with a glass or anything, I’m not sure if they thought I was going to just drink it straight from the bottle? When we then placed our order for our food and she asked us what order we wanted it and we said we would have the corn first and then we have the rest as the main. We waited ages for our food, when it came, we got part of the main before we got the entree. The papa bravas were just chips with a few bits on top, very boring, then we got the tacos (delicious), our entree finally came but they only gave us one corn instead of one each so they had to take it away again. The birria tacos were awful. Everything had the exact same presentation - corn kernels, cheese, coriander, 2 corn chips and a wedge of lemon. It did not make sense. The food was terrible, the only thing we actually enjoyed were the prawn tacos, which were delicious. I would never go back again.

It felt unorganised from the moment we walked in. Line up out the door and waitresses seemed confused. Had more of a nightclub feel to it It was way too loud with music and chatter. They need to turn down the music and invest in acoustic panels….the food was “ok” but considering Glenelg has multiple Mexican options. They need to be on their A game. Don’t think I’ll go back in a hurry.
