Small but lively roadside Mexican restaurant in Terrigal along the esplanade. The restaurant was…read morefull but we had pre-booked a table outside earlier in the day. The drinks and food came at a reasonable time considering how busy they were. The Jose's tasting plate was a great choice for 2 to try a bit of everything. Everything was fresh and I really enjoyed the mini chimichangas and elotes. The pork burrito came and was impressively large as I was sharing it between 2; I wouldn't rush back for the burritos again as I found the fillings to be a little flavourless but I saw the table next to mine order the nachos which I would definitely go back to try.

Super cool place that qualifies as a hidden gem as it's tucked down a little alley way. Inside,…read morethey have an upstairs dining rrom and downstairs a sweet bar and speakeasy vibe. Loved it. They did seat us under a staircase and it was annoying hearing the heavy footsteps stomping up and down throughout dinner service. The food was very good to stellar! As others have mentioned, the Tacos are King here. Tartare Tacos are amazing, and we loved the Salmon Civiche and the carnitas tacos, as well. Flathead Civiche was delicious, Brussels Sprouts were super tasty, and we also enjoyed the twice cooked Pork Belly. Not so good was the Pato Ahumado. The mole was really tasty but not enough, and the breast was really tough and fatty, plus no proper cutlery provided. Really disappointing, as we couldn't eat or enjoy it and it was like we just threw $72 away. While I did appreciate their coursing, we did wait for long periods between. Cocktails were good, as was a glass of wine, but pours are very light. Recommended, for sure. Avoid the duck.

The food at Esteban was incredible!! They had tons of options to choose from and the environment…read moresuper unique, moody, and cool. The service was great and everyone was super friendly. The tacos were amazing!! The chips and dip were also very good and had a nice balance of flavor. Was something unique that I had not tried before. Everything tasted high quality with a large depth of flavor. Would highly recommend!

This is not a Mexican restaurant. Yes they mix up Margaritas…read moreand occasionally have fish tacos on the menu but that's about as much Mexican you will experience. YELP needs to update its listing. It's modern Australian cuisine. Relaxed and easy vibe with a great outdoor area overlooking Ocean Beach. Plus a lovely enclosed dining area with great seaside views. Tables and loads of easy seating available. It's floor boards so it can be noisy for people past 40 years with hearing beginning to struggle with noise and echo. The menu is classic seaside fair with great views. Love the Szechuan calamari and the pepperoni pizza is perfection. The cocktail menu is small tight and clever. But don't look for classics like gin martini or sidecars. Everyday has the standard menu plus blackboard specials. We've been dining at Margarita daze for three plus years and love it. You order drinks and food at the bar but staff deliver it to your table. Service staff are fun , helpful and charming. So easy with a group because everyone can order and pay separately. If you fancy a lazy lunch or a fun evening out don't hesitate to book a table. Wine list is tight and good value and easy drinking. Seriously there's nothing but bouquets for Margarita Daze.

What a great spot !!! Inside or outside there is lots to do and see. Great views from most tables…read moreand an awesome outdoor beach feel. Lots to drink and lots to eat. I had a fun tone here and plan to come back soon. That drinks list needs further investigation....... !!!!
