Nice food

The food was a bit hit and miss.
Ordered:
The ceviche - it was nice.
The quesadilla - that was delicious.
Birria tacos - quite salty
The location is very central - but the dark, small, room makes it feel a bit closed in.
The staff were friendly.

Pros: The quesadilla is the go to item, Vegan menu

Cons: Dishes a bit hit and miss, Dark and cramped dining space

Great food -- the creme brulee is a highlight

Really enjoyed the quesadilla and nachos, along with the fantastic creme brulee.

Disappointing

From out of town and took some friends here for dinner. Was very excited to try it. The food was fine, but for Mexican it really wasn't that flavourful. It missed all the bright flavours, like coriander and lime.

For the price I would have expected more. $34 for the fable tacos was a lot. I also got a signature cocktail for $24, it was fine but full of ice and really nothing special about it, just seemed like a drink mixed in the glass.

Felt a bit bad dragging my friends there, none of us were impressed, sadly. Food was fine and we ate it all, but won't be going back there considering the price.

Pros: All vegan! , Corn chips were yummy

Cons: A bit bland, Expensive , Strong incense smell in restaurant

Cute place for a date

Been here several times this time wanted to try the new birria tacos they were good but not amazing not fried enough and expensive the Quesadilla is always good and the Creme Brûlée amazing. Drinks are pricy but a good experience anyway.

Super fast service but pricey

I haven’t been here in years and I can say the menu has improved a lot. The food tastes fresh and full of flavour. We each had 3-4 tacos, corn and the dessert but didn’t feel disgustingly full. The services is incredibly fast with food making it to the table within 10 minutes of ordering. Definitely need to book in advance as it is busy. Good meal and drinks but is very expensive.

Pros: Fast services , Menu

Cons: Price , Must book ahead of time

Decent, reasonable price

We didn't book and got seated at a shared table on a Monday evening. I had the eggplant taco as a bowl and the eggplant itself was lovely and crispy, the rest of the bowl was quite basic.

Good Bad Hombres

Animal free Mexican cuisine. It was nice to order anything from the menu without thinking if there is animal products in them. Service was abit slow though. Would definitely be back!

Nachos for the win

Nachos were fantastic! Tacos were great. Really enjoyed my dragonfruit beverage. Would love to go back & try more of the menu.
Only given 4 stars due to being denied a drink, also nachos were served before beverages were delivered - they were cocktails but would have liked drinks first. It felt like they wanted us out of there.

Pros: Loved the options we tried, Atmosphere was great, Good tunes

Cons: Slow drinks service

Expensive for what it is

I went solo & it was pricey for what you got. The food was really good & flavoursome but deffo could’ve eaten more. Maybe that’s my mistake. Would go again but in a group so you can order more and share.

Good vibes, excellent food

We were sat at the bar as we hadn’t booked, then moved to a table as soon as one was free.

Had the “tuna” tostadas, quesadilla and skewer. All delicious. Staff were great and the tunes were good too.

Highly suggest making a booking as even a Wednesday night was busy. #Veganuary

Pros: All vegan, Good atmosphere , Tasty, non trad Mexican choices

Vegan Mexican

Highly recommend! 100% vegan Mexican restaurant with a cosy, romantic feel great location right near central train station.
We ordered the corn (my favourite!), nachos and 3x taco Tuesday tacos (forgot to take a photo but recommended the eggplant one especially!!)

I am definitely a regular, also recommend the mango margarita 😋

Pros: 100% Vegan , Decent pricing , Nice atmosphere

Underwhelming

Came for dinner, first thing we noticed walking into the restaurant was a stong smell that reminded us of cleaning products used in public restrooms. Aside from that, the restaurant has a cool vibe and I could see it being a good place to come with a group for drinks.

Food was 3/5, not terrible but not great. We had Tuna Tostada, an Asada Skewer and some Tacos. The consommé that came with the Birria tacos was really good, but the fable meat was a bit dry.

Bottom line: go to Vandal if you are wanting some good Mexican food.

Taco Tequila Tuesday

$12 taco Tuesday! And boy are these Tacos fire. Took two non vegan friends here and both said these are better than any tacos they’ve had with meat in. Their cocktails are incredible too. And they actually know how to cook Eggplant.

Pros: Everything is gluten free , The Nachos , The Quesadilla

Taco Tuesday - Yay!

Lovely welcoming and helpful staff. Had just arrived in Sydney from Melbourne and found this place via Happy Cow, a short walk from my accommodation. Decided on the Taco Tuesday special and tried Chipotle Potato
w/ Salsa Verde, Coriander & Onion; Miso Eggplant
w/ Pineapple Habanero Salsa & Miso Caramel; and, Jackfruit Tinga
w/ Red Cabbage, Chipotle Mayo, Pickled Onion & Coriander. All packed a flavour punch. Jackfruit Tinga cleared my sinuses (in a good way), the Eggplant miso was a delicious surprise, but my favourite was Chipotle Potato. Really fresh and tasty food.

Pros: Tasty Mexican , Cool ambience , Good service

Great Mexican food

I had an eggplant taco and a mushroom taco, as well as nachos. The tacos had really great flavours, particularly the eggplant one, and the nachos were good but didn't blow me away
The restaurant had a great atmosphere too, would definitely come here again.
