I would highly recommend this place as a go to for anyone looking to have a fantastic meal in a great atmosphere.

Two more burrito challenges have been added since AND a dessert one. Finish and get your picture on the wall. I shared Amarillo fries to start. Curly fries with a cheese sauce. Didn't look like much sauce at first but it had gone to the bottom making most of the chips underneath soggy, which was a shame. The crunchy ones on top dusted with seasoning were yummy. My enchiladas were a decent serving with Cajun spiced corn on the cob and fragrant rice that was more rice than fragrant. Yellow rice is not fragrant if it tastes the same as normal white rice. $6 for a small side serving of avocado was too expensive. I tried my partners nachos but the beef topping tasted... manufactured. Like Mexican or bean soup from a can. The service was fast. We couldn't book for two people. They only take group bookings. Joining the Wests Group that evening gave us a 10% discount.

The drinks and food came at a reasonable time considering how busy they were. The Jose's tasting plate was a great choice for 2 to try a bit of everything. Everything was fresh and I really enjoyed the mini chimichangas and elotes. The pork burrito came and was impressively large as I was sharing it between 2; I wouldn't rush back for the burritos again as I found the fillings to be a little flavourless but I saw the table next to mine order the nachos which I would definitely go back to try.

They did seat us under a staircase and it was annoying hearing the heavy footsteps stomping up and down throughout dinner service. The food was very good to stellar! As others have mentioned, the Tacos are King here. Tartare Tacos are amazing, and we loved the Salmon Civiche and the carnitas tacos, as well. Flathead Civiche was delicious, Brussels Sprouts were super tasty, and we also enjoyed the twice cooked Pork Belly. Not so good was the Pato Ahumado. The mole was really tasty but not enough, and the breast was really tough and fatty, plus no proper cutlery provided. Really disappointing, as we couldn't eat or enjoy it and it was like we just threw $72 away. While I did appreciate their coursing, we did wait for long periods between. Cocktails were good, as was a glass of wine, but pours are very light. Recommended, for sure. Avoid the duck.

Despite our major craving for some sizzling beef, we settled on Cantina's and surprisingly, it was ok. The GenY (or is it the "I "Gen?) staff were friendly enough and our waiter was the sweetest kid, he even swapped me one of those said ginormous Mexican hats for my phone to take a pic of us. Their servings are fairly substantial and in fact, I wasn't able to finish off my dish - I had the naked Burrito - normal chicken burrito minus the tortillas and the cheese sauce (there's just something about those two words placed together that conjures up all sorts of nastiness in my head). They have the tiniest plates for all this food, the salsa and cheese sauce (ewww) are in little bowls on the plate, the corn on the cob, the rice and the chicken all precariously placed right to the edge of this narrow plate - so of course, you can imagine the filth left when our plates were cleared. The service is what you'd expect from a very young crew - not much conversational skill apart from LOL, totes and hashtag (just quietly, rather entertaining), clearing plates resulted in a fork backflipping taking with it some rice which ended up all over a friend and the bill given was for the wrong table - all in all though, a fun night given we had dined a little too well care of the 3 jugs of sangria #fittinginwiththekids

We ordered nachos which were a disaster ( diced beef, minimal salsa, bland), taquito (dry, over cooked), enchilada ( beef- this was okay) and pork meatballs (okay). This is what I would call 'Aussie' Mexican food -pub style. You're better off driving the 40minutes to Muchos in Newcastle.
