ABSOLUTELY NOT. Do not go here. The food is not fresh, frozen and probably not safe to eat. To start any place with the manic misogynistic decorations should be an immediate red flag. Unicycle, posters about nagging wife, tanks from a motor cycle other random assorted junk and posters with no cohesive theme or vision. It screams lazy owner/operator who needed to decorate it so they went to a garage sale or a 2nd hand junk store and slapped trash on the wall to call it good enough. All of this would be excusable IF the food was good. Which I was not. They were strangely overstaffed but they looked irritated to see us walk in. The food looks nothing like the pictures. We had the civiche, the grilled scallops and the garlic prawns. The civiche was prepared improperly and we were scared to eat it. There was ZERO citrus so immediately we knew not a civiche. It was thin long sashimi slices of fish served with the slightest few drops of what I would say as a watery cilantro liquid, a chimichuri ordered from wish or Temu if you will. The fish smelled a little but we chalked it up to clearly being frozen. We ate it and the best I can say is we didn't get sick. The prawns were clearly frozen from a bag psychotically over cooked with the consistency of a old leather shoe. They tasted of nothing but were....edible. The problem and when we gave up and left was the grilled scallops. The first plate of scallops they brought us didn't look right upon inspection they were completely raw and uncooked never touched a grill or hot surface, stone cold. When we brought this to the servers attention he was clearly pretty upset with us for complaining. He took away the plate of raw and later brought back another plate of scallops which did have color from cooking but the smell of it was clear these previously frozen scallops had turned and they had turned a while ago. When we cut into them they were stringy and mushy as if they had started to rot. We each tried a bite and immediately had to spit it out as the fish was clearly bad to the point it left a singing bitter fishy foul flavor on the pallet. We asked for the check and to have the scallops removed from the bill. The server refused to remove the scallops because they prepared it twice for us AS IF THAT WASNT THEIR MISTAKE. We explained they tasted foul and clearly expired at best. He pointed to another table insisting we couldn't be correct because that couple ate the same scallops (Thoughts and prays to thar couple) as if that meant anything. We had a brief discussion where we explained we were from a beach town had eaten scallops our whole lives and knew what they should look, feel and taste like and he stated he wasn't the owner and they made us two plates and he was doing us a favor by not double charging us for them. I think he could see how upset we were and by that point we had attracted the attention of some other patrons. He discounted us $10 but that was only 1/2 the cost of the scallops. read more

This is a hidden gem within the Bondi Beach area of Sidney Australia. My family had the best time here. From homemade Sangria to the amazing Tapas. All the food was great, I just really enjoyed the Artichoke. Then after, free karaoke in the back party room. A great place to enjoy great food and drinks with friends and family. read more

No Sangria- not a good sign. The beer came quick but the cocktails took FOREVER! The food came intermittently. Thing is the place wasn't full. See pics. The food wasn't bad. The good - Octopus (pulpiltos a la Gallega) a little vinegary, Meat balls(albondingas al ajillo) and jerk chicken was ok. Standouts are the queso a la plancha(melted cheese), pescadito frito(whitebait fish), chorizo a la plancha, patatas bravas, garlic prawns(gambas al ajillo), guacamole and chips. I'm told there was a party in the back which accounted for the slow service. However I only go to Bondi ONCE in my life and this will be the only time I will be at Mojos. read more

Mojos Tapas Bar located on Campbell Pde across the iconic Bondi beach is the perfect spot to indulge in a range of Spanish tapas, breakfast or lunch along with a pitcher of sangria or two. Food here not only looks vibrant and aesthetically pleasing, it tastes absolutely devine. I was transported to Spain with the classic, rich flavours on offer, from corn, tomato to soft baja fish tacos. . So what's on the table?! Tropicana chia bowl Shakshuka Zucchini & corn fritters Tempura prawn tacos Tofu tacos Soft shell crab charcoal burger Smashed avacado on multigrain Mojo's bowl with smoked salmon Mushroom bruschetta New menu items: Tempura soft shell crab soba noodles Grilled salmon and corn sauce Crispy pork belly with corn Grilled salmon soba noodles read more

We gave this place a try while we were in Sydney after seeing all the positive reviews. After trying it, we are really not sure why all the positive reviews exist -- the place was, in a word, underwhelming. We tried a few things on the menu. The halloumi was solid, but served fairly plain. The Australian toastie was a decent side (two whole slices) with lots of "beetroot" (we looked it up and were expecting beets, but it was eggplant). The cous cous balls were solidly fried, but the inside was complete mush. The olives were fine. I got the sangria, which was a decent size, but had fruit floating in it that clearly could have used a thorough wash. After the dishes above, we simply didn't need to try anything else. I settled on two stars because the service itself was pretty solid -- no complaints there. That said, I would not come back. read more

I really like this Tapas Bar.... and whenever i go it's always full. Situated on the south of Bondi Beach, slightly up the hill, you could very easily walk past the restaurant and not see it. It is slightly hidden as the front of the cafe almost blends in with the rest of the Bondi scenery. That said, once you walk inside - you'll be suprised to find a noisy bustling restaurant. The food is tapas - so it's good to go with friends and order a few dishes. I always find tapas to be a bit deceiving because you end up spending more money more likely than if you ordered one main dish somewhere else...but that said, you get taste variety - which is always a good thing. The food sizes are small...so you will need to order quite a bit of food. The dishes are delicious and full of flavour - so on the taste stakes, you'll be quite happy. I really like the Tapenade Bread Plate served with dips Tamara, olive tapenade and red capsicum ($9.00) and Crumbed Green Olives stuffed with ricotta served with pita bread ($12.00).... Warning to vegetarians.... there aren't too many options... A fun place to go with friends on a Saturday night. It gets busy - so make sure you book. read more

Came here for happy hour and was impressed with the cocktails and tapas plates. Had the octopus, which had a nice tangy sauce with it. Also the lychee martini was very tasty and refreshing. Servers were attentive and friendly, providing solid recommendations for food options and cocktails. Good selection of Spanish wines as well. Happy hour pricing is a great value. Food and drinks flow kinda slow, so try to order in one shot if you can and make sure you have some time to enjoy the experience. read more

The atmosphere is awesome. Service is so so. Food more of the same. They are located right across from Bondi, premium location. It's one of the first places you see/pass after coming from the Coastal Walk. I stopped in and was ignored for about 10 minutes before the young lady asked me if I needed anything; um yes. I would like to eat. I was seated, and waited a subsequent 10 minutes to have my order taken. Good grief. At this point I'm ready to leave, but I'm so hungry I could faint. Finally, the young lady comes back and takes my order (put the whole thing in- appetizer to entree, drinks and dessert). Fortunately it came out really quickly. I had chips and guac to start, and the guac was solid. I ordered the jerk chicken with coconut rice as an entree. I tasted no coconut whatsoever, this was plain sticky rice. Fine, but call it that. The jerk chicken is not jerk at all. It was flavorful and had been marinated pretty good but it was NOT jerk flavor. I finished it off with the white chocolate cheesecake, not very sweet but still very good, and flooded in fresh strawberries. I had a half sangria and it was a win, perhaps the best sangria I've had to date. All in all, the place is pricey and the wait is long whether its busy or not, but I left satiated. read more

Great little tapas bar with a candlelit setting and nice views. The ceviche was probably our favorite dish. Not served as a typical ceviche however, more just like incredibly seasoned strips of raw fish. More like sashimi. I never tasted something on fish with quite that unique, spicy kick to it. The ribs were delicious as well. Meatballs hit the spot, everything that came out was fantastic! And to top it off the owner came over and offered us a free shot and did it with us right before we left. Real nice guy, real nice staff, great atmosphere too read more

Working 9-8 what a way to make a living it's all taking and no eating, so come 8 you just need to nom nom nom all the way to the kitchen. Tapas time anybody ! Bring on Mojo Cafe and Tapas bar. Beautifully located with Bondi Beach views only problem is you can't see it on a wet and miserable Bondi night but I can hardly blame them for that. Walking inside the decor instantly stands out and transforms you to a South American oasis. The place was very homely and inviting. Tapas are small dishes so instantly I think it means your likely to over order but oh well right! Get to sample everything. Began with the Remolacha salad which didn't look amazing but was surprisingly good. It contained beetroot, roasted sunflower seeds and watercress. Sunflower seeds won me over on this one. Tapas we chose were Garlic Prawns ( delicious ), Chilli potatoes ( yum yum yum ), Garlic meatballs ( most filling and scrumptious ) , salt and pepper Squid ( a must have when dining near the beach ) , grilled Artichoke ( my fav and surprise choice if you want something different ) and the mushroom tapas ( flavour was a bit bland unsure of the sauce it was infused in even ). Overall very happy with all the tapas besides the mushrooms which were only ok. To was all this down the drink of choice was Sangria. Who doesn't love wine combined with fruit. Like there wasn't enough to eat we decided we needed Chocolate empanadas. Very very good choice. When it tastes that good you can have no feelings of guilt. Beautifully presented and still warm when you cracked it open. Accompanied by Strawberry jam and cream dip to combine it with. Delicious. Staff were exceptionally friendly and would go back here again definitely :) read more

The food here was fantastic. We sat at the table outside on the sidewalk on a quiet night and had a great experience. We ordered a liter of sangria for $22 which was well worth it. For meals we ordered the queso frito and atun cortezudo (tuna steak). Both were fantastic and I would order again. For dessert we decided to get the empanadas con negro which were warm and delicious. The portions were good for the price especially considering it's location and other prices in the area. The service was great. They checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed. The Spanish music also set a nice ambiance. read more

I came here on my first visit to Australia in 2009, and was pleased to discover that it was still in business when I moved here two years later, and was even more pleased when repeat visits were just as good as I remembered. Whenever anyone suggests grabbing food towards the beach, I always suggest this place. Why? Two words - pork belly. Now, I love me some pork products in just about any form, and the pork belly here has been cooked to perfection each time I've ordered it - just crunchy enough without feeling like it's TOO done, fat content perfect but not too overwhelming. Also, they have a watermelon cocktail that is really refreshing and awesome, and I really like the gig posters they pass off as decor. One word of warning - this place gets really busy on the weekends. It's pretty tiny and gets packed, so plan ahead. read more

The atmosphere is great with a great view as well. The service is great and staff is very attentive! The sangria is delicious and not too sweet! The food is excellent!!! The tiger prawns in garlic are great, and dipping the bread in that sauce makes it even better! The Lomos is great too! Would definitely recommend to anyone in Bondi!! read more

Nice little place. Lovely sangria, and solid guacamole. After we had finished eating and drinking, I was intoxicated enough to leave my phone behind. Our waitress chased us down to return the phone. Not sure if it was due to tipping like Americans, or if the staff is just that great, but I will be sure to visit the next time I am in Sydney. read more

Amazing affordable food just across the street from Bondi Beach. Our server was friendly and very hospitable. I ordered the lunch special Garlic Prawns and Rice with an order of the Empanada tapas. I enjoyed them both with a glass of their sangria. My friend loved his order of jerk chicken and the guacamole as well. Next time I'd like to come back for their happy hour which seems like a great deal. Highly recommend this place if your in Bondi. read more

This place is a hidden gem. I just had a fried cheese platter and seared tuna. I just moved to the area and needed to come in once I heard Spanish music, I guess it was my way of connecting with home. Food was great, cocktails good too. I didn't come at a busy time so the waitresses are a little laid back, she forgot to bring my bread at the beginning of the meal. I also wished they would have pointed out the specials menu instead of me noticing it after I had ordered. Seems like a good place to come in group simply because it's tapas and you have a lot of options to share and not get completely full. Can't wait to come back to try other things on the menu. read more

THE WORST DINING EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD. the guacamole tasted as if it was out of a tube, the shrimp were raw, the chicken was undercooked and rubbery, and the steak had fat all over it and was at first undercooked and then when we requested for it to be cooked more it came back extremely over. the tuna dish that we ordered tasted like cat food. Despite the EXTREMELY tiny portions there were more than two dishes left untouched. when we asked to send them back we were treated with a extremely rude response and were told that it was our opinion and that our opinion was wrong and that it didn't matter. Everything was way overpriced especially for the size of the portions.I have never made a review about any restaurant in my life but this place was so bad that it warranted a comment. I would never wish that meal upon anyone, you have been warned about this place. read more

Delicious food at an affordable price. Recommend the tapas tasting plate with a filling sample of many different tapas. My wife and I were satisfied with just that, but of course we ordered a few more tapas since they were so delicious. The service was great, the waiters were friendly and attentive. Even though it was busy and we were sitting outside (where we could have been missed) we were well looked after. Atmosphere was positive, friendly and welcoming. Will come again for sure. read more

Three words... amazing customer service! I went to mojos for my birthday dinner and my friends and I had the absolute best night! Firstly, the food was impeccable, every once was demolished. Already overly satisfied by the food, my friends and I were given a free round of shots and cake in celebration of my birthday. Next, Theresa (the owner) took us to the karaoke end of the restaurant, which I didn't even know existed. We were given free sangria whilst my friends and I belted out some great classics. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone thinking of going! 10/10 read more

Amazing tapas. My favourite in Sydney by far. Don't forget the land chops or the meatballs!! A jug of the sangria is the perfect compliment to all the great dishes read more

For tapas you cannot beat this place the menu has something for everyone, seafood meat and veg, all really good the hulumni is great but the suprise favourite dish each time i go there is the creamy garlic potatoes unreal, also don forget there sangreia read more

I love going to this restaurant when I'm in Sydney. It's soo cool. The food is fresh & tasty. Tho cocktails are addictive. The staff are friendly and helpful. When we make it to Happy hour where drinks and tapas are a great price we over order on food and drinks. We love the environment that we have ended up staying there until close just having chatting and drinking all night. The owner has joined us all for a drink and is very hospitable. Definitely recommend this place for a tasty bite. read more
