Super casual Mexican cafe. The food is generally very good as youd expect from ex Radio Mexico people. Service is pleasant but uneven and the place alternately delights and frustrates.
First off it must be appreciated that this is an informal and slightly rough and ready operation. We arrived to something much more casual than Id anticipated for a birthday celebration. That was my inadequate research. The place was decked out for Halloween and various patrons were in full garb. A party was scheduled for later on, I think. The cafe was only a third full the whole time we were there. The music was pumping and was mainly very good stuff (well done on the Stooges number). Theres no table service here and you order at the counter. Our pre dinner drinks came out slowly although to be fair they were mainly different Margueritas. My classic Marguerita was good. Even though wed pre booked our table of six there wasnt enough cutlery provided on the table which is indicative of the slightly ramshackle nature of the place.
We ordered nachos first with beef and guacamole. These were very slow to come out and were a little cool when they arrived. They were delicious though and were very quickly devoured. The remaining dishes – quesadillas, burritos and tacos – came out in a piecemeal way. Some were hot, some were cool. My beef chilli quesadilla was hot and really good. The cauliflower wedges were hot and really good too. The batter was lovely and crisp. The steak quesadilla was ok only to me with nice flavour. The steak was a little chewy I thought but but my partner disagreed and really liked it. The small burritos were fantastic. Reasonably priced but actually quite sizeable. The youngies around the table whod ordered them were all nodding and happy saying, …this food is so good. We finished with tacos. The fish and beef ones were good too although inconsistent temperatures were evident again. My impression was they were a bit bland unless you add some chilli or jalapeo to lift them.
Service from various servers was nice and cheery throughout.
It you want a laid back, cheap and cheerful Mexican experience then this is your place. The cafe itself is quirky but the food is good. Eating in is an experience. There were a lot of Uber Eats orders flying out the door.
