This review is for Cactus Mexicana, Wilston QLD

verified email - 11 Jan 2014

This is a new restaurant that's popped up so it was busy with nearly every table booked. Without a reservation we were turned away at first until the manager stepped in and offered us a table on the proviso that we wouldn't take too long. That suited us fine. Calling the food Mexican is a misrepresentation as it lacked the herbs, spices and flavours like coriander, lime, jalapenos and general Mexican heat one would expect from such a meal. Mild. Very, very mild. Portion sizes were also small. One tablespoon of grated cheese and a tiny mound of limp lettuce is not sufficient to stuff 4 mini torn tortillas. Hopefully they can improve with a little tweaking to their recipes and readdress their portion sizes if they receive enough constructive feedback from the public.

Approximate cost: $20.00

This review is for Absolute Security Screens, Doors & Blinds, Kallangur QLD

Adam offered me a free competitive quote over the phone for the 2 security screen doors I was wanting to install. He was helpful and friendly and kept to his word about timing, delivery and installation. The quote remained the same and his work was professionally done. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing security doors or screens at home.

Very happy with Corey who came to install a water tank motor and taps for washing machine. He was on time, took his shoes off to come inside and even vacuumed his mess at the end! Very polite, fuss free and I have no problems recommending him!

The other 2 reviews were favourable but then, they're over 2 years old. Now I feel the need to report that this establishment is currently in need of some improvement. The table was grimy, the service lacklustre and the portion size of my husband's burger was not worth what he paid. Apparently their version of "mild" is different to my idea of mild. Though the chicken itself was soft and tender, I personally found it too spicy for my liking....not mild. For about $35 we shared a bowl of awesome fries, got a burger and a chicken salad and 2 small Cokes. Not cheap and not fast food. Don't think I'll be returning.

We entrust Galaxy Property Services for a number of properties and will not consider using anyone else. For carpet cleaning, flea management and pest control you can't beat them for reliable and professional service. They turn up on time as per arrangement with friendly, open communication. I highly recommend them for a job done well every time.

This review is for Gerbino's Pasticceria, Ashgrove QLD

This is a great pitstop to pick something up while you're on the run. They have a tempting array of traditional Italian pastries and cakes on display at reasonable prices. It's not just a pastry shop and bakery, they also have coffees, sandwiches, meat pies, sausage rolls, gourmet quiches, special occasion cakes and a gelato range.
I shared a roast beef & gravy sandwich and a chicken parmigiana sandwich with my sister...generous portion sizes. I also had a bolognaise arancini (deep fried Sicilian rice ball) which are usually hard to find in Brisbane. The coffee was not spectacular but the service was friendly.

Awesome! Tried this place for the 1st time last night ($16.95 for buffet on Wed & Thurs nights) and the food was delicious, the real deal. You just can't beat good food at such a great price like that. It was fresh and plentiful, help yourself to naan bread aswell. Could have improved a little on the dessert selection but after eating so well from the buffet, I don't think you'll be going there for dessert anyway. Friendly service, parking right out front. They also do takeaways and deliveries, the phone was rather busy with orders. Can't wait to return again soon.

Approximate cost: $16.95

This review is for Zone Fresh, Windsor QLD

If you're on a budget or doing your regular weekly shop for fruit & veg, this may not be the place for you. The prices on most items are much higher than in the supermarkets sometimes by $2 or $3.

Having said that, there is a wonderful selection of gourmet or unusual items here that you wouldn't find in a supermarket and they stock a great variety of local produce too.

So glad to know I can get my Angelo's pizza bases and pasta products here!

The meat department looks fresh and appealing as does the selection of deli goods on offer. Generally speaking, this place is bustling and though expensive you can find the ingredients you need for that special recipe you've been wanting to make.

Surprisingly I learned that they also do gourmet catering platters for parties...more info on the website.

Clean establishment with plenty of outdoor dining space and efficient service with a smile. They have asian style banquets on the menu in addition to the usual fish 'n chip shop fare. We got 5 pieces of crumbed cod, kabana and 2 serves of chips which was plenty. (approx $38 total) It was fresh, delicious and they were generous with the lemon wedges and portion sizes. Happy to return!

This review is for Twin Village Cafe, Albany Creek QLD

verified email - 19 Apr 2013

This cafe is centrally located in front of Woolworths for a quick cappuccino before you do groceries. Had a devonshire tea (1 fruit scone with jam/cream, tea for $5.50) which seemed rather standard. They also have open grilled Turkish breads, toasties ($6) salads etc. One thing the staff don't seem to possess is personality or manners. I know things can get busy but service with a smile and a please or thank you would be nice.

Approximate cost: $6
