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.
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 !
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!
Cool vibe - lots of space so you don’t feel like a sardine, great cocktails - mezcal sour is a good place to start
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?
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.
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!
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 !
Amazing tacos !! Also love the Rio Brava beer with salt & lime ! The free bags of popcorn are a nice touch too.
First time I've tried a michelada , effectively a Bloody Mary meets a beer and quite delicious too
Can't believe no one has mentioned the tattoos (on staff & patrons) & the bras hanging from the roof of the bar ! So much character!
Best tacos from Akira, beats Norfolk hands down. 2 for 1 tacos on Tuesday's! $5!
They give you an extra chaser shot to go with your tequila . And there's free popcorn !
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
Free popcorn is yum. Love the salt rims & lime slices in the beer cans, nice touch.
You can smell the tequila as soon as you walk into this great little bar
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
Chilli popcorn and a margarita always goes down a treat - brought to you by the guys that run shady pines.
$5 beers with lime and salt! Interesting! Oh... & free popcorn .
Jalapeño Margarita and chilli-laden popcorn : the best way to start a Friday night.
awesome tequila cocktails , all the juice is fresh squeezed!
Hot freaks ask for the under the counter hot sauce . The Blairs is insane.
Grab yourself a jalapeño Margherita .
Mini margaritas but they're pretty delish.
The barman has a shot gun. Don't fuck with the lights.
Leave a good tip and dance .
Try the cocktail with 'Especiale' in its name.
Ask for the gun loaded with tequila
Some of the best bar staff in Sydney!
Good margarita .
$5 Rio Bravos w/ salt n lime , winner.
Free pop corn . Good vibe but the music is a little too loud .
2 for $5 Taco Tuesdays
Try the jalapeño margaritas
$5 tinnies of Rio. Holla.
Get served by an ex con or ned Kelly look alike.
The margarita really hits my spot.
