My macchiato was smooth .. A touch bitter / over roasted but otherwise good. The inside area is bright and airy, with a beach side vibe, filled with surfers, couples, day trippers and locals. Service is friendly and fast but I have had my order lost occasionally. I ordered the über healthy "Buddha bowl", which tasted fresh and flavoursome. The lettuce was crisp, the beans soft and it all rather moreish. Have had many other of their menu items and there are some winners on there. Like I said best in Torquay - recommend Music - good volume (easy to chat) Newspapers - yes

Great Mexican food in Torquay. As a California girl visiting Australia, it's fun to discover places…read morethat taste like home. Nothing says beach to me more than Mexican food. The elotes (grilled corn with manchego and spices) and the chicken wings are both addicting. The margaritas are also great- particularly the jalapeño and the café flavors. The trio of salsas could use some work- the salsa verde lacked salt and crema, though delicious with mains, is not a salsa on its own to me. Still, easy fixes & thoroughly enjoyed the meal!

This place is really unique and they have a menu that changes.

The only thing holding this place back is their absence of table service and the long queue you have to wait in to place an order. It makes your visit very anti social as you need to leave people to mind the table but others need to queue. It means second rounds of drinks/desert etc are usually abandoned! Moby- You've been a leader in Torquay with your menu options, buck the trend and offer table service! We usually visit in a fairly sizable group and we can usually get a table without a wait even in the mist of summer (Torquay's peak time) due to the large amount of tables inside and out.

The sauce on my lamb shank was OK, but faintly reminiscent of hospital cafeteria food. Veggies were overcooked, and the sweet potato mash reminded me of baby food.

A lot of Mexican restaurants haven't really cut it for me especially the tortillas. This place brought so many food memories to me. It just off the main drag.

Excellent dinner to start our Great Ocean Road journey!…read more Recommend a res, we didn't have one but they were nice enough to seat us right away. Started off w the salt and pepper squid and a dozen oysters. Perfect. Squid was just the right amount of light, crispy breading. Oysters were creamy and delicious. They don't come w fixings, make sure to ask for your hot sauce ahead of time. While the dinner selection was tough, we opted for the lamb pita for two reasons. 1. The entire table of 6 next to us got it. 2. When we asked the waitress for a rec, guess what she said.... Being a bit of a gyro nut and growing up on Lebanese food back home, this dish hit the mark. Nice crust on the well seasoned and moist lamb, plenty of veggies but more importantly plenty of tzatziki sauce!!! (So many places short the best part). A couple of nice glasses of wine and our meal was complete. Highly recommend. Cheers!

Our food was hit or miss (Hit = pumpkin, pine nuts and orange salad. Miss = open chicken stack) and I loved that they served Emma & Toms alongside other fresh juices, smoothies, milkshakes and spiders; but the staff actually seemed annoyed to see us. I personally found it hilarious as it was edging on offensive when we asked for things like tomato sauce and, God forbid, if they had anything gluten free. It got to the point where the salty service seemed to be part of the schtick in the "where are the hidden cameras" way, but by then I'd had enough beer that I considered it endearing. Come for the beautiful location and tasty booze and you'll be set. Watch out for hidden cameras, I'm still convinced they might be there...
