    Texan who grew up on TexMex and authentic Mexican food here...Going to give honest review of what I…read moretry today. I have been disappointed with Aussie Mex so far, but these place feels a little more legit than the other Mex I tried in the Gold Coast and should be better than Guzzies. I was quickly escorted off to my table and provided still water to drink. The ambiance of this place definitely reminds me of many places I've been in both Mexico and Texas. So far, so good. I ordered a Suprema Margarita to drink with Chile con queso as the appetizer. The margarita (on the rocks) came in a margarita glass, so doing good so far (the other place served it in a martini glass). Very tasty and perfectly prepared. Doing great Pepe's! The chili con queso came and was served with chips, as expected. Although the texture of the queso was more like sour cream than actual queso dip should be, the taste was decent. I ate plenty of it, so the weird fluffy texture didn't phase me too much. This can be better. Note to the cooks: try to look up a copycat recipe for Torchys Tacos queso - that stuff is epic. Fajitas came out sizzling. Smelling good, with a big plate of stuff to use to prepare some tacos. The beef was seasoned well, although not a typical fajita taste to me, was good and almost had some spicy heat to it, almost. The four tortillas, or wraps as y'all call them here, weren't warm or served in a stay warm container, be were folded into fours. They were much larger than I expected, as well. You can tell these weren't made in house, but tasted like just good ole fashioned flour tortillas out of a bag. The guacamole was very good. I was skeptical since the menu said it had pistachios, but good job. The pico de gallo, needed some umph. More lemon/lime juice (not sure if any was in there), a chili pepper, and more cilantro (coriander). The salsa verde was the star. Reminded me of my own. I need more of this. The cheese was perfect and actually more shredded cheese than I'm used to having, so that was a pleasant surprise. In closing, if you're in Brisbane and either missing Mexican food, like I was, or want to try something new, I'd give this spot a shot. Pretty good job, with obvious differences that may just be ingredient availability or regional palette differences. The last question is WHY ISN'T CHICKEN ENCHILADAS VERDES on the menu?!? You have that amazing green sauce, show it off! This would be probably a 4 star review back home in Texas, but it for sure deserves more than that here in Australia. 5 stars, baaaaabyyyyy.

    One of my classmates suggested this restaurant so we ended up having a study session here while…read moreenjoying lunch. This is definitely one of the closest to authentic Mexican Restaurants you will find in Australia - trust me I have tried VERY many. All of the food comes out fresh and deliciously seasoned. The el lote (corn) was fantastic in flavor! The fajitas also were wonderful. They have a huge selection of items to choose from including drinks. Highly recommend giving them a try! It was definitely worth the drive up from the Gold Coast.
