This is like a little hidden gem. It's not awesome Mexican that you get in the states but it's about a close as I've found in Sydney. I booked here for a friend's birthday and it ended up being a fun night. From the outside it looks a bit small on the inside. There's a long table and tables around the long table that are along the wall and front of store. The long table held all 10 of us easily. There's some great murals inside that kept us entertained. There's quite the selection of beer, from chilli to an amazing one that was called Immortal beloved and tasted quite nice. I, of course, frank margaritas all night from a skull. Totally awesome and ladylike. My mother would have died. The orders toook a while to come out, the entrees came out with the mains which was a bit upsetting as we were all starving and wanted to nibble on our shared foods before the mains. My naked burrito made me super happy. Partner got a deep fried burrito which ended up making him sick, however no one else got sick. All in all though I did love this place. They also do vegan & delivery orders as well as pick up. And it was always busy. Ps. They put a huge hat on my friends head, think Mexican wide rimmed with velvet & sparkles on, and gave her a comp shot of tequila. It was really sweet :)

I was feeling some Mexican and noticed this place on Crown Street that I believe opened up the past year. When it comes to Mexican in Sydney...it's pretty hit or miss, mostly on the miss side (authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex.) I wasn't expecting much. I'm kind of glad I didn't expect much because I was pleasantly surprised by the food here. This place is actually run by Mexicans so you know it has some heart. I got the ground beef chimichanga and my friend got the chili con carne burrito. I like that they have pico and guacamole on the side. Both were fresh and spiced well enough. They serve cerveza (beer) here too, so you can get your drink on. It's on the slightly pricey side but it's Crown Street and you can't compare to California or Mexica since it's freakin Australia. I know I'll be back. The fajitas look delicious.

Delicious. Way better than most Mexican in Aus. Will come back and get the guacamole tacos and emmolada(?) again.

Small inside and food came out fast! Expensive prices for what you get but the beans were really nice,reminded me of what I had in the USA

Great hole-in-the-wall!

Great hole-in-the-wall! Good Mexican food for Sydney. High praise coming from a Southern California boy who grew up on a wide variety of excellent ethnic foods, especially from Mexico. Enchiladas were spicy but not over poweringly so. Prices not dirt cheap (like in SoCal), but reasonable and all ingredients are authentically sourced from Mexico, including the beers and wines. That said, only $10 for their lunch special. Owners and staff all from Mexico too. Hopefully they will continue to do well when they move to the new location down and across the street. A winner in my book.

Fish tacos and fajitas in the background :) yummmm!

Amazing and authentic Mexican food. This is the closest I've had to what I used to eat in the U.S. Great fish tacos and fajitas. The margaritas were a little too sweet. The atmosphere is definitely more of a cantina than formal restaurant but it's delicious and fun with good service, I would highly recommend it!

Review Highlights - Mexican Burrito Cantina

The prices are reasonable but they're not going to compare to what can be found in the US where Mexican food is more abundant.

Super cool place that qualifies as a hidden gem as it's tucked down a little alley way. Inside,…read morethey have an upstairs dining rrom and downstairs a sweet bar and speakeasy vibe. Loved it. 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.

The food at Esteban was incredible!! They had tons of options to choose from and the environment…read moresuper unique, moody, and cool. The service was great and everyone was super friendly. The tacos were amazing!! The chips and dip were also very good and had a nice balance of flavor. Was something unique that I had not tried before. Everything tasted high quality with a large depth of flavor. Would highly recommend!
