It is by far the best mexican food I had in a long time. The quality of all dishes we have ordered was great and the staff is absolutely friendly and helpful. I was actually going to order much more but the waitress warned me that the portions are quite big - and she was definitely right. Before I leave Yamba, I will be back again!

The brisket quesadilla and fish taco were great (almost like home in California) but the margarita…read morewas terrible - it tasted like pure lime juice and was so tart/acidic I could barely drink it. The margarita recipe needs work. I asked for soda water to thin it out and water down the lime juice and was told I'd have to pay for the soda - not great customer service. Service was pretty good overall though.

I…read morehad a vegan enchilada, which had a little bit of spice to it, and my dining companions were equally happy with the vegetarian burrito and the taco bowl. I also enjoyed a passionfruit Margarita. There are some decent mocktails too. Next time we might go back during happy hour because the cocktails were a bit exxy for me, but they're not really expensive for cocktails, I'm just poor. The service was prompt and friendly and they got all our orders right. The location is good for people watching.

Yeah this place was trash. Overpriced, lacks the proper soul and identity required for a tasty…read moreauthentic Mexican experience. I guess shame on me for expecting authentic Mexican on the other side of the world . Don't go unless you want to have a sub par burrito. Maybe the margaritas are good tho!

This is probably the best Mexican on the Gold Coast (though the competition is basically…read moreMontezumas/Aztecs). The chef has actually *been* to Mexico, and the food is great and seems quite authentic. The steak is huge and tasty, the share platters are probably too much for one person, but if you try really hard.... The decor isn't as overtly and insensitively Mexi-themed as other restaurants -- no sombreros or 'señor/señorita' toilet doors, but there's no escaping the fact that you're above a pretty average pub. The music has an occasional Mexican tune thrown in, but is mostly inoffensively middle of the road. This restaurant is a hidden gem, and worth finding.

In particular the cucumber & jalapeño margarita. Sensational! The service is what really lets this place down. The owner has so much attitude you almost feel like apologizing for sitting in his restaurant and taking up his time. Such a shame considering it doesn't take much to welcome your guests and make them feel at home.

Welcome to flavour country, population: me…read more This is as good as local business gets. Little more than a beach shack, this joint is run by the hippy dip dipsters behind the Byron Bay Chilli Company, known nationally for their terrifyingly tasty range of mild-to-kick-ass-fiery chilli sauces. So, here's the hot tip: get the vegetarian taco salad. I'm not a vege - far from it - but this thing just blows me away every time I eat it, and I'm not talking post-meal ring sting. Actually maybe I am, it depends if you get habanero sauce or not. Anyway, this bad boy is big, fresh and packed with goodness: baby greens, cabbage salad, coriander, feta, refried beans, special vinaigrette, jalapenos, and your choice of the aforementioned sauces. A must-do, go-to, crash-your-car-to-get anytime you're within cooee of Byron.
