    Great food with lovely staff. Catered to tricky dietary requirements (with perfect guidance on the menu). A good place to catch up with friends with a refreshing margarita

    This is a tiny place in Balmain. We were seated at a high table very uncomfortable and hard to eat. The nachos was terrible no taste and hardly any beef or sauce. The soft tacos were good and the chimichanga was also good. Very bland taste tho I would not return . I was using my yums so I was happy not to be paying full price

    This restaurant was a great find. The beef tacos were my favourite, overall they were all great. Cocktails were lovely too. Can’t wait to go back and try more

    Horrible food. 1/2 up of juice for $15. Very rude staff who don’t care if you had a good experience or not. Must have changed hands was much better last three times we went there.

    Nice setting & they do a great Jalapeno Margarita & Strawberry Daquiri. Starters (J poppers & duck tostadas) were very good. Burrito & chimichanga mains were fine. Prices also good.

    Cute spot with good food, nice ambience and awesome service. It was a bit quiet on a rainy Tuesday but the awesome tunes paired with the funky decor gave the place a cool vibe. We got in on the Taco Tuesday offer - $6 per taco. Very tasty and very filling. Also recommend the Jalapeño Margarita. Appears to be dog friendly too with outdoor seating. Would be keen to go back with my pup on a weekend for their day time margarita special.

    We can say every time we come here, we always feel full. Unfortunately this time the corn entree, they put too much cheese so a bit unbalanced. However, we still enjoyed it.

    Cantina bar offers a great spot to enjoy a drink and some yummy Mexican share food. Good vibe and could easily be in a small bar in the city. Attentive service made the difference!
