Food was nice but very tiny and overpriced. Two prawns cut it half to appears as 4 for $12. Service wasn’t good. Plates and glasses weren’t being cleared so we were running out of room. They also forgot our main meal and ruined a birthday surprise.

A wonderful experience! The restaurant was charming and cosy with extra pillows to guarantee your comfort. The food (all of the food! We are a party of 8 and we tried almost everything) was delicious, flavourful without too much spice. The portions were generous, both entrees as well as mains. The food menu is small but carefully constructed to allow something for everyone. Definitely order the pineapple side dish! It's not everyday that you get to enjoy a ritualistic carving of fruit at your table ;D The drinks menu is extensive, colourful, and fascinating. As are the drinks. However the best part of our dining experience was the staff. Warm and welcoming right from the start. They took exquisite care of our every need. They delivered on every request with a smile. Nothing was too much for them. Thank you Cartel for a lovely day and we hope to see you again soon.

We booked in for $36 (pp) all you can eat tacos on Tuesday night. The vibe was great, the restaurant is stunning, the service was fantastic, really pleasant and quick, they also had great drink specials to go with the tacos, we were able to get margaritas for $12 for the entirety of our booking, however, the tacos were what let us down. Whilst there was lots of variety and they arrived fast, most of them were luke warm or on the cooler side and the filling was a little skimpy, leaving you with mostly taco rather than filling. It is also worth noting you must eat at least 6 tacos to get your moneys worth.
