Our meal and experience here was so good that my friend, who was only in Melbourne overnight, decided to stay an extra night so we could return the next night! The meal was outstanding and staff know their stuff: excellent knowledge and advice on the meals and there to top up the glass at just the right time.

Firstly the good; Food was great, came out so fast! Tacos were beautiful, fish tacos were fresh, birria was great (the sauce was lacking, no spice or kick unfortunately). Corn ribs were super nice and I was overall very impressed with the food. Now the less positive stuff… Unfortunately the service was very very slow, the staff seemed like maybe they were short staffed or something? 2 people to do inside and outside waiting + making drinks, serving food, taking orders is not enough. If it’s short staffed, then it happens but if that’s how much staff they usually have then the owners need to sort it out as that’s not fair on customers or the current staff.
