A night out with friends. I wish we had similar service levels in Australia - Cole was friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. Starters were guacamole and salsa with corn chips. Low level heat in the salsa and an obviously in house made guacamole. We aren't Mexican savvy so we decided to order the Mahi Mahi de la Paz and the Chili Rojo Burrito and swap halfway through. The serves were generous but because of the great food and flavours we managed. Great value compared with options...read full review
My local friend and I grabbed takeout (enchiladas and original fajitas). I really don’t understand the hate this place gets. If you get nachos for takeout, they’ll be soggy even if Gordon Ramsay cooked them and you eat them later. Come try this local spot and you won’t be disappointed. Mahalo! 🤙
Food was very good!! Wait time was very reasonable & our server was very attentive
