The Mexican Joint — Restaurant in Queensland

Waited outside the place for 5 whole minutes while multiple staff walked by with nothing but dirty looks on their faces. With no instructions on what to do and none of the staff wearing uniforms so we could not identify who to talk to we took a seat on a table with NO reserved sign on it. We then proceeded to wait another 10 minutes with again multiple staff walking by (nothing said AT ALL). We then rudely got asked if we had a reservation (which, our mistake we didn't) and told that the table with no reserved sign was reserved (what?!!?) and told that the whole restaurant is booked out (multiple tables free, with no reserved sign) and the only table available being a small square table in the absolute corner with a fat pot plant in the middle taking up the whole table space. We then got told we can get take away but it being a very long wait (in a very rude way). So we left, disappointed and appalled. All we wanted was some nachos...

I am from Southern California originally and I LOVE Australia, but let's face it, there is a dearth of good Sonoran cooking in this country. I was despondent for quite some time about my personal loss. I found myself looking forward to vacations back to the states, just so I could satisfy my desire for northern Mexican cuisine and binge on carne asada burritos at 2 in the morning at venues up and down the western coast of SoCal. But then, the vacation would end and I would travel home only to once again be confronted by the lack of decent Mexican food and I would weep for days in withdrawl.

And then I found these guys.

The food is truly tasty and well prepared and the service is awesome and I am considering adopting the entire staff. Seriously, do yourself a favor and try their food. You can even order a chimichanga (if you know what that is) even though it's not on the menu and they will...

A beautiful lovely joint to have dinner!!!! My wife and I went there on New Years Eve. We had a wonderful time dining, seated outside having a few drinks and watched the fireworks usher in the new year.

A man in a white shirt looked after our table - he must have been in his late 40s. He said that he was a friend and just helping out the team for the night. What a class gentleman!!

His presence, sense of humour and taste of cuisine gave us an experience that my wife and I shall always remember and cherish.

We had the corn, tacos and a few drinks. The desert cocktail in the end was the cherry topping - loved it!!!!!

Will definitely like to be back again when in...
