Tacoteca

Mexican restaurant

😠 When I entered it was amazing. They gave us our warm greeting and led us to our sitting. It all went down hill when ordering. We ask to go through the menu as we didn't quit understand the menu.

The Flying Burrito Brothers Albany

Mexican restaurant

😐 Arriving at the venue, finding a carpark can be difficult, as the parking space is shared with other vendors. Walking into the Mexican resturante, The Flying Burrito Brothers Albany, there was a lovely display of candles up the wall, on the opposite side was the bar with liquor displayed up the wall...

Mexicali Fresh

Mexican restaurant

😠 Cannot stress this enough. Don’t waste your time. Completely unengaged staff, not interested in their workplace, product or even living by the looks of things. Served by an extremely rude and distracted Indian man who had head phones in (?!). Worst Mexican we’ve ever experienced and the atmosphere...

Frida Cocina Mexicana & Tequila Bar

Mexican restaurant

🫤 Set menu with three average main choices tacos or enchiladas (2 stars). The only entree was dip and corn chips (1 star) For desert only option was sorbet with chilli sauce (1star). The staff aim to get you in and out in 45 mins. Not a vibe!

👍👍 We arrived on a Friday night 8 minutes before the kitchen closed (at 8pm). We ordered the beef nachos (from recommendation in the other Google reviews) and beef burger. The food came really fast and was great. The staff were very friendly. We had a great time, including our dog.
