The real deal - sohpisticated Mexican cuisine, not Tex-Mex (or Aus-Mex, whichever term you prefer). Every dish was excellent.

We had a lovely meal. We just found the ‘duf dud’ music too loud to hold a conversation. And it would have been more pleasant had it be quieter and more enjoyable to the theme of the restaurant eg mexican music.

I never leave reviews. Our amazing 7 course meal, sitting comfortably on the terrace, looking at the river and the Melbourne skyline, is among the sublimest dining experiences we have ever had. 5 stars.

The food was extremely tasty, and while the price of individual plates is above average for a typical Mexican restaurant, they are to share and so can be divided by 2, 3 or 4. Just remember to check the number of tortillas that accompany the plate - there were four of us but we only received three pieces with each plate.
