Not enough staff, slow service and very overpriced and underwhelming food.
Was first time trying a proper mexican food, really enjoyed my time here. Would definitely come back again. Food and drinks were nice and amazing.
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.
Fast friendly service, DELICIOUS food and a perfectly spicy margarita!
Absolutely amazing venue could not find anything at all wrong with it.. food was Absolutely perfect, staff and environment was awesome to take in.. definitely a must try if you haven't
Terrible drink service! Food was good. Ended up cancelling our drinks waiting over half and hr for drinks and finished our meals with no drinks.
Fast service, food was amazing will not leave hungry, friendly staff
Wonderful atmosphere, great service will definitely be going again and beautiful food
Food was lovely, so much flavour and great value for money
Loved it, great food, good location! Will come back :)
Amazing value for money and so delicious! The chorizo tacos were our favourite along with the white sangrias
Great food and drinks, good service and nice atmosphere! Love the sombreros!
Excellent, friendly service and meal. We will be back soon.
Overpriced - no service - loud and not value for the price
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.
A really great meal and the Margaritas are spot on
Awesome dinner for my daughter's birthday. Food and service was fantastic, they also did a birthday song for her which was a great way to finish the meal
Food was delicious and the service was above standard. nothing was any bother for the staff.
Overpriced and amall servings. It will struggle in Glenelg with so many Mexican restaraunts
We had a great dining experience! Lovely atmosphere and great food! Thank you
Such delicious food!! Mains and dessert! My family and I had a variety of burritos and tacos and they were all so flavoursome. Will be back!
Staff very friendly, food came out quickly and was great quality. Great cocktails :)
Great atmosphere. Great service. Amazing food. Would highly recommend. Will be back
Great food and friendly staff. Had a wonderful time celebrating my wifes birthday with my family. Cheers 🍻🍹
Food was good but service was very slow took an hour before we got the drinks we ordered
It was Saturday night. I had mentioned it was my birthday. Each of the staff came up independently and wished me a happy birthday. The meal was amazing - very flavourful with the right amount of spice. And good value. At the end of the night, the manager brought us each a full serve of churro's saying this is on the house and again wished me happy birthday - above and beyond. I'll be back for sure and soon.
Food, staff and the ambience was amazing. Would visit again for sure.
little short staffed but great food and drinks very good mexican
Food was awesome the service was absolutely wonderful and just had a great vibe Victor did a great job over and above and being my birthday made it extra special So Thankyou very much 🙏🏼
Very tasty authentic Mexican food, we ordered a lot of different dishes and everyone was happy. Cheerful service, not expensive. Going back!
Lovely experience for Friday Lunch with pleasant service and atmosphere
Two servers running the entire place on a Taco Tuesday. No service, no structure, no plan. Family night ruined. Not a way to run a business.
Food was really good and loved the atmosphere Drinks were good too
Felt like my orders were judged by the staff and it was awkward how often staff came to our table to ask us if we wanted to order more. We also found it a bit cheeky how there was a tax amount not included in the price on the menu which we only knew about when paying at the counter as it wasn’t mentioned anywhere. That is extremely rare in Australia.
