    Finally got in to this amazing traditional Mexican food place. The staff were very hospitable even with a little mix up on the reservation but things was all sorted out very well. Food was great the chicken is cooked so amazing that's what I had, and the other people in the group really enjoyed there feed.

    L.H. 101 is a professionally run and managed restaurant. It works well on all levels, from fine food, to outstanding service to a comfy, laid back and casual atmosphere that’s also fun, vibey and energetic. The first thing that you’ll notice when you arrive here, apart from the colourful Mex-style décor, are the super friendly staff who will make you feel welcome the moment you arrive. These guys are smart, efficient and helpful, and there’s plenty of them, so the worker shortage does not seem to have made it's way to the little alcove of Emerald Beach, just a few km from Coffs Harbour. Another advantage to dining here is that unlike their city counterparts L.H. 101 are not spending all their waking time dealing with take-away and home delivery orders. Those of you who are familiar with my reviews, will know how much I hate this. It means too often that sit-down diners are treated as second class citizens and with all these helmeted delivery guys lining up at the counter to collect the meals, the place starts resembling a train station or the set of a Mad Max movie. That's never conducive to a relaxing evening. But thankfully this is not the case at L.H. 101, and everything ran smoothly for us from beginning to end. The food is delicious and served in generous portions, there are ample clean and well provisioned toilets and masses of easy parking right outside the front door. This place has clearly built up a solid reputation, as it was nearly full on the night that we dined, despite being a Sunday. And its reputation is well deserved because it hums like a well oiled machine and these guys don’t miss a beat. I noticed that the owner/manager was very much in evidence, fussing around, but doing the essential work of making sure that everyone was happy, and I think that this also contributes to this restaurant's smooth functioning. All round, we had a great night here, apart from the hefty bill of 240 pesos for four people we received at the end, and that included 50 per jug of their margarita cocktail. Now I know that thanks to our profligate, wasteful governments and dumb economic officials who are supposed to know what they’re doing but clearly do not, we are in the midst of what can only be described as a Weimar Republic-like hyperinflationary crisis, but still 50 for what is basically four small glasses of a bit of rum and lemon juice, is a bit over the top. The food content came to 140 pesos, or 35 a head which I guess was fair value considering that the potions were large, and the quality was first class. Given that there are not too many other eateries in this little patch of Northern NSW, we’ll probably come back when we’re back in the area. But I hate to think what this similar meal will cost us next time!

    Amazing place ! Chilled vibes and great staff ! Highly recommended. The owner himself is pretty switched on and helped us try some amazing tequilas. We visited twice in a week during our stay at Coffs ! Thanks again - we will be back soon ;)

    Absolutely fabulous authentic Mexican experience. We weren't prepared & didn't book (100% book - it is busy!) but the owner squeezed us in ❤️. The jalapeno margarita was delish. Generous servings. The food is outstanding. The customer service exemplary, lovely waitstaff even when they were flat-out - our drinks weren't ever empty. We were warned the usual chef was on leave so there could be a wait, however the food was hot, prompt & delicious. Woopi is so lucky to have these guys. We will definitely be back & thank you!

    This has now turned into a Caribbean Restaurant. It's still the same owners with excellent food and exceptional table service. The Mexican restaurant has now moved to Woolgoolga but still owned by the same people.

    Fantastic dinner and drinks and amazing friendly staff. Will definitely be coming back with friends the next time I’m down this way.

    Food was good, but the customer service was simply amazing. Owner was nice to spend some time with us guiding through on what the foods were. Food was beautifully presented, and fresh. Would definitely recommend to come by if you’re around the region.

    Delicious spot to grab some Mexican food! So rare to find Mexican food, so ever rarer to find it as delicious as it was at La Hacienda 101. Great service, decor, and plenty of options to choose from. The nachos had the perfect amount of everything, enough protein, cheese, guacamole, etc. to ensure each bite was delicious as the last. Fantastic!

  • 5/5 Mary S. 4 months ago on Google
    Every dish was superb. Flavours were on point. Extensive menu for all tastes and large cocktail list. Venue had a chilled vibe with indoor/outdoor dining. Staff were very welcoming and service was fantastic. Value for money. Will definitely visit again very soon.

    I was a little disappointed with my Nachos order. All other meals were nice. I found the beef to be a little dry, it was a bit confusing to see the difference between what was beef, brown corn chips. So much chese. I need colours, and flavours altogether on the one plate.

  • 5/5 Barney B. 6 months ago on Google
    Wow. Great portions. Super-fresh ingredients used to produce amazing Mexican dishes and recipes sourced direct from the Mexico back streets. Loved it and returning for more.

  • 5/5 Cathy D. 6 months ago on Google
    Seriously one of the best restaurants that we have EVER eaten at! Absolutely incredible service, delicious and innovative food with genuine Mexican flavour, extra generous margaritas and just a wonderful vibe all around. We loved our first dining experience here so much that we had to come back 2 nights later to try some more dishes and revisit others that we fell in love with! Owner David is an absolute hoot and a delight on the floor as well as all the other lovely staff. Compliments to the chef & kitchen staff, you guys are nailing it! We will most certainly be back as soon as possible ❤️

👍👍 In Woolgoolga's pizzeria, the pizza truly shines, especially the tomato sauce. The toppings burst with flavor, echoing authentic Italian quality. While the wait time is a tad long and prices mirror restaurant rates, the pizza is genuinely commendable. Suitable for anyone with a discerning palate.
