tequila margaritas popcorn mezcal trendy bar micheladas good for singles lime juice chicharrones fresh made good for special occasions
Michael Lagon

Beef Nachos , pork tacos and Chicharon are excellent for sharing. Try some mezcal , it'll complement the ginger beer cocktail . Get there early to get a table, otherwise be a hawk.

Karin Chiu

Asked the bartender for a recommendation and he suggested El Roberto Especial. It tastes fantastic, like something I would make at home in the blender, but with a healthy dose of tequila !

Jobe Williams

A funky Mexican themed bar that offers free bags of popcorn with your drinks. The Beer selection is not the best but cocktails are great. One margarita , two margarita , three margarita , four!

Steven Doyle

Cool vibe - lots of space so you don’t feel like a sardine, great cocktails - mezcal sour is a good place to start

Elliot Chance

Now you have to order the tacos at the bar and they are a fraction of the size. Can the original owner please come back?

Ryan Sarver

Great spot to grab some fresh made , really good tequila drinks. Ask the bartender to make you something special and you won't be disappointed.

Simon Crerar

A Mexican bar manned by a whole load of guys who have never been to Mexico, but don't hold that against them, the margaritas are pitch-perfect and the tacos tantalisingly tasty. Ole!

TimeOut Sydney

This is a bar where you can actually meet your hangover before you’ve even had a drink. Chances are it’ll be hanging out over by the arm-wrestling bench downing a tinny crusted with salt & lime . Read more

Great vibes and amazing frozen margaritas !

Rose C

Amazing tacos !! Also love the Rio Brava beer with salt & lime ! The free bags of popcorn are a nice touch too.

Mat A

First time I've tried a michelada , effectively a Bloody Mary meets a beer and quite delicious too

Andrew Kemp

Can't believe no one has mentioned the tattoos (on staff & patrons) & the bras hanging from the roof of the bar ! So much character!

Janey Elmgreen

Best tacos from Akira, beats Norfolk hands down. 2 for 1 tacos on Tuesday's! $5!

William Pham

They give you an extra chaser shot to go with your tequila . And there's free popcorn !

Frenchj

It was good, cause Royden said it would be. Ask for the popcorn . Royden dogged it like a fairy and we got angry about it

Marianne N

Free popcorn is yum. Love the salt rims & lime slices in the beer cans, nice touch.

Greg Cal

You can smell the tequila as soon as you walk into this great little bar

Sophie Anderson

The best margarita I've had in a long time. Muy bien.

2x1 tacos Tuesday , mega-tasty ones!, like being in Mexico, or close by

Elif Durur

Chilli popcorn and a margarita always goes down a treat - brought to you by the guys that run shady pines.

Andrew Kemp

$5 beers with lime and salt! Interesting! Oh... & free popcorn .

Simon Wright

Jalapeño Margarita and chilli-laden popcorn : the best way to start a Friday night.

Hot freaks ask for the under the counter hot sauce . The Blairs is insane.

Andrew Harvey

Grab yourself a jalapeño Margherita .

Mini margaritas but they're pretty delish.

The barman has a shot gun. Don't fuck with the lights.
