waiters confused with orders, offered plates that were placed on wrong customers table. long wait times for food to arrive (over an hour wait)
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
Average food and service bit disappointed have had much better Mexican in Glenelg
Delicious and good service. The pescedillas were particularly yummy. Thanks
The food was delicious and tasty and the vibe was fun.
Food was good, price reasonable & was an enjoyable experience
Only feedback is the table needed a clean it was sticky and the toilets are in need of a deep clean and the floors are very greasy/slippery
Great food friendly service a little too noisy though Had to ask 4 times for a high chair
Delicious food ....best Mexican meal in years. Drinks were cold and the prices were excellent.
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.
Great food. Friendly service. Able to pay separately. Could have cleared our table sooner.
Delicious and tasty food so good to go with friends
Food was good, staff were lovely, being NYE it was super busy so the wait times to get food and drinks were long.
Considering it was a very busy night NYE the meals were very nice.
Great food and service , Fantastic spot to chill and relax
The food was delicious and the restaurant vibe was fun!
Staff were nice but didn’t seem like they knew what they were doing/what was going on. Food took 45 minutes to come out. Food was below average tasting.
Great restaurant. Fun vibe, great food. Was a better customer experience when there was table service
Amazing food amazing margaritas amazing vibe amazing location highly recommended
We had a great time, thank you! The food and drinks were delicious.
Food was amazing as was the view from the balcony. Friendly service as well
We were completely ignored by the staff after trying to get their attention for 10-15 minutes so we left.
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!
The food was great. I've been here a few times and have never been disappointed.
Staff went the next level for our daughters 16th and food was A1
The team was thoughtful enough to put our table next to a happy birthday sign as it is my hubby’s birthday 🥰 they also gave us a treat! Thank you team!!
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!
