Food is good but they always significantly undeatate the time for pickup. "That will be ready in 10 minutes" is the usual commitment but it is usually at least 25 minutes. That means you are left waiting in the shop a long time. This has happened 3 times out of 3

Well cooked, tasty food and friendly service in a clean and cute venue. My only suggestion would be to provide more substantial serviettes... when eating messy mexican food, those tiny and thin little paper serviettes just don't cut it! I've already recommended the restaurant to others.

Some dishes were excellent and some were quite average. I was really looking forward to the beef tacos and they were ok but the vegan ones were delicious.
The nachos were very disappointing. For $20 we expected a decent size portion and it was small and had minimal beef on it. Probably only one desert spoon full amount.
The birria was also disappointing - a lack of flavour to the filling and sauce except for the vegan ones.

I have been here a number of times and was happy with the food and service. One issue I have had each time is that the food is not hot (temperature wise). Tonight I came and ordered a beef Nachos takeaway. When I finally got it the girl put it sideways in the bag causing the cornchips and everything else to get upturned. When I got home to eat it, I was really disappointed as apart from corn chips, there was hardly any meat or much else, it was just corn chips covered in a bit of sauce and cheese. with a minimal amount of meat which was barely detectable and you pay extra for. It was barely warm. Don't think I'll be going back after this.
**Update. The owner got in touch with me and offered to make things right. They offered a refund and free meal. The refund was unnecessary, but I took a free Nachos and this time it was great with a good balance of ingredients and meat that I could actually see and taste. I still would have preferred it a little hotter but that may have something to do with the cardboard serving trays letting out the heat. I'm back!

Hands down one of the best tacos I’ve had. The shell was perfectly crispy, the filling was flavorful, and the toppings were fresh and well-balanced. Also, the lime on the side tied everything together. Great food and welcoming service — definitely coming back🙆🏻♀️ If you’re looking for one of the best taco places around, this is definitely worth trying.

I really loved the food and the atmosphere! The tacos were full of flavour, very fresh, and had just the right amount of spice. The birria tacos were my favourite so tasty, cheesy, and filling. The prices were fair, and the portions were big. Definitely worth it! More

Absolute slop, deep fried taco absolutely dripping in oil and I mean soaked in it, barely any filling in it just a spoon full of wet slop in the bottom of the taco. At $22 for three of these what a robbery. … More

Tried it first the first time and was really disappointed. The chicken wings were ok nothing special, cheese sticks were tasty, corn wasn’t anything special and the tacos were not tasty at all. Sorry for the review but a lot of improvement is needed. Our bill came to $130 I thought it was a lot for the food we bought especially when it was a let down.

Had tried them in Mascot, glad they are close to us now, so its great to have some nice mexican around. Birria tacos were good. The only gripe was limited salsa, a little generosity in salsa would make it perfect.

I was really excited to try this place in Matraville because it was close to my house and I love Birria- however I was disappointed. I ordered the 3 birria tacos - 🌮 one prawn, one chicken and one beef with the consomé- and they were flavourless all 3 of them- I had to ask for salt and spicy salsa to be able to eat them- at $7/taco I expected so much more!

Food wasn’t horrible yet the portions were very small for the price and quality. Payed $36 for what’s in the image bellow.
Staff was a little condescending and unaware of their products yet friendly overall.
The atmosphere was very much your average American depiction of Mexico.
If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, this might not be the place, but if you’re looking for a snack and have extra cash you will like it here.

OMG! The food and the presentation 💕... Miles apart from the GyG and Madmex crap. Even their beef doesn't have that awful smell. Their food is an absolute taste of Mexico. There's little seating available but if you do manage to get one... Be prepared to be blown away by their artistic food presentation... Even their fish and chips is freaking A!
