Good food and I love their drinks - especially the horchata and pina colada.
Nice quiet place in a great location at West End. Prices are about average.

Approximate cost: $25

Rumour has it this little Mexican place has been going for 20 years. Great and authentic Mexican food.

For fans of Deadpool, try the Chimichangas, if you are lucky enough to get a table.

A lovely little hole-in-the-wall style Mexican restaurant in West End. The food is good, the staff are friendly, and it is a nice welcoming atmosphere.

The only thing stopping me from eating there more often is their hours. When I was living in West End I'd often wander past to find them closed when I thought they were meant to be open, so I'd eat elsewhere. Not living in West End now, I'd hate to make the drive in, to find they aren't opening.

We arrived here at 8.40pm wondering if this restaurant would be open long enough for us to have dinner, but the sign reassured us it would be open until 10.30pm. As we sat down, we felt hurried by the waitress to make a choice as she said without a modicum of grace that the kitchen would close by 9pm. We made our selections of quesadilla and beef salad and after asking for some water, some duly arrived. We had no sooner commenced eating than the staff commenced dragging metal tables across the hard floor and putting up chairs all around us, although it was still before 9pm and the closing time we had been led to believe was 10.30pm. The noise and feeling of unwelcome made conversation very difficult and although the food was ok for the price, we didn't enjoy the experience of sharing food and drink when our presence was so obviously unwelcome. We opined to each other that a railway platform would have provided a more pleasant eating environment.

Approximate cost: $15-$19

This place is always always packed so heads up - make a reservation. Its byo (tequila and wine!!). The food is amazing, and I am dying to go back and try the mole chicken :)

The staff are all south american, but don't make the mistake of thinking they are all mexican, there is at least one columbian I know of!

Great little mexican restaurant in West End. Opening hours can be a bit hazy as it's family run. Food is always fantastic. Serving size is huge. It's very easy to over order. Great for relaxed dinner with friends

I attend this restaurant regularly. It is authentic and delicious food. Very reasonably priced as well. I cant say anything else other that you have to try this food.

Approximate cost: $25
