This is my favourite Mexican restaurant in Brisbane. By the way, it is not actually Mexican but strictly speaking Texmex cuisine (the rule is, if it has yellow cheese, then it is not real Mexican food).

Anyway, I like that they have a guide for ordering your burritos and the chili rating goes from mild up to suicidal. I like taking my friends who brag about being able to eat lots of chili to this place. I talk them down to hot, which is usually too hot for the average person.

A fun place to eat a snack, have a beer or enjoy a cocktail.

Fun themed Mexican bar and restuarant, if you want to try mexican but are not really for good strong tequila or mexican food. This is a fairly good attempt at mexican food, but wow the nachoes, ive never had a corn ship so thin, they struggled with the smallest amout of topping on. Meican snacks priced to cater to all, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Indoor and outdoor seating available. A good place to sit and watch the world go by, with a drink, all be it not very strong.

Approximate cost: $12.00

I have eaten here recently with some friends and it was great. We all love the food and the drinks and the service was good. The atmosphere is great as its just near where the markets are on a Saturday nite and the beautiful water is just up the steps.

This is definitely not a restaurant that you sit and take your time in. It is a "fast food" version of Mexican, but much better than other chain competitors. The service, taste and value are unbeatable. The burritos are capped at $15, so no matter what fillings you want, you know that you won't be paying too much. I like going here on Friday nights before wandering around the markets at Southbank. It makes for an enjoyable, inexpensive dining experience that is quick and easy and child friendly.

Approximate cost: $5-15
