    Food is ok. Been a bit disappointed with the last few meals I've had there. There are better Mexican options in Sydney now

    In October, Sydney’s coolest bars mix it up for you – with a creative Chambord cocktail and matching canapé for just $20 as part of the CSIFF 2011.

    If you are sitting at the bench tables inside there's a hook on the wall for your bag and coat. How sensible!

    Tried 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 :(
