Come for the jalapeno poppers, stay for the nacho's, taco's, burrito's and fajitas. Good value and veg and meat options. Bendigo's original with their world famous margarita's, excellent food and service, great night out and they also do take away.

I had a Sincronizada and while the rice wasn't anything to write home about, the tortilla was very good. Not exactly cheap for what it is, with the mains nearing $30 but worth coming here on purpose of you're in the mid for TexMex in Bendigo.

Excellent service. Walked in without a reservation, they found us a nice table. Ordered the nachos and fajitas. Both were generous portions, hot and tasty. Priced appropriately. Will come back another time for sure.

Staff have been nothing but a pleasure to interact with, over social media and in-person. Dine-in is fairly pricey compared to takeaway, but the quality and extras you get as a trade-off are worth it. Good drink selection, lovely atmosphere. Taco Tuesday is a bargain.

By no means an authentic Mexican dining experience however the food is pretty damn tasty (the chicken cashew burrito is soo good) and giant margaritas are the best. The atmosphere is great too and it's good they offer takeout cos they're often full up so you should book ahead!

Been here a few times now. The food is fairly authentic, and good value without being cheap. They seem to use good quality produce and the flavours are great. Service was above average. The only thing I didn't like was the Jalapeno Margaritas. Its worth a try but be warned, they're not for everyone!
