Andre SAugust 15, 2014The only reasons to come here is the cheap tacos. Overall I'm not a fan of the vibe or atmosphere but id come here just for the cheap food.
You can get take away here and take it across the road to button bar.
Try the Chorizo And Mozzarella Quesadilla - Second best to the el hot dog only...
NiviNovember 23, 2019Somewhat tastey, but portions are comically small and pitchers are basically 2/3rds ice.
Shinta BenildaFebruary 21, 2014I think this place is over rated. Music is too loud, no seat available. Tacos are cheap at $5 but not tasty. Drinks are mediocre. Maybe it's popular because it seems like lots hipsters come here.- Try the Secret Taco - Everytime, its different...what a secret.. :-P
Churros no longer on the board. But they still serve it.
Donna GowMay 31, 2011If you are sitting at the bench tables inside there's a hook on the wall for your bag and coat. How sensible!
Service SUCKS BALLS. Ya stand in line forever only for the bartenders to serve the people behind you or not in line
Old Mate Murray TurnerApril 26, 2013Think of this as totes aweso. And if you don't think it's totes aweso the lol rofl omg
Courtney RichardsApril 17, 2013Yum!!!!! Wtf $5 tacos that don't even taste like cardboard.... Amaze!
Ingrid ProwseFebruary 22, 2015Food is ok. Been a bit disappointed with the last few meals I've had there. There are better Mexican options in Sydney now
Janey ElmgreenJune 29, 2014Worst tacos in Sydney. Wet and soggy, they fall apart. Go visit Alvarez & Sons in Tios up the street. THAT is great mexican.
Rodrigo MartinezSeptember 16, 2012Tried twice, didn't like it. Under seasoned food and flavorless 'hot' sauces. I'm mexican and food doesn't really taste authentic. Sadly I was disappointed :(
