Decided to try this place out today as there didn't seem to be too many options around. Let me start out by saying - the food definitely surprised me. First of all, it is definitely NOT Mexican food. As someone who has been to Mexico many times and eaten Mexican food for most of my life, it is almost sad to see what they consider Mexican food to be here. A better alternative would be to say it is Mexican-inspired. However, the food did not disappoint. I ordered a quesadilla and it was nothing similar to a regular quesadilla. It came with very hard and crunchy nacho/crackers-type layers with the fillings in between each layer (I have attached my picture for reference). The meal tasted a lot better than it looked but it definitely should not be called a quesadilla. The food quality and taste is why they got 3 stars, however considering this to be Mexican food is why they lost some. This restaurant has potential to improve in the future. read more

Project-Mex - Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Rockhampton City, QLD

My work colleagues and I decided to trek to Project Mex for a pre-game feed before the second State of Origin match that night. 2 of us arrived super early and happened to catch a birthday celebration in the works - complete with a birthday sombrero and sparklers. Coincidentally, it was the birthday of another of our work colleagues that night, and we were able to quickly organise the same birthday surprise with an inhouse dessert as we didn't have time to grab a cake before dinner. The lovely staff were super helpful to quickly help us arrange the birthday surprise before the rest of our group arrived. After dinner I gave the nod to one of the wait staff and she brought out the birthday dessert - with the sparklers and sombrero for the birthday boy. In his words, he was pretty chuffed that we'd managed to pull off the surprise without him even knowing. Food is super tasty and amazing - great range of options on offer. Great range of drinks also available on the bar menu. Friendly and helpful staff. Location is relatively easy to get to and sits at a major intersection. Lots of parking available. Interior is quite quirky, but suits the vibe of the restaurant. read more

Project-Mex - Project Plate - the Tijuana plate - Mexican Near Me - Rockhampton City, QLD

This restaurant is actually another one that closed and opened with a new name. My son and his wife enjoyed eating at the other one quite a good bit. The food was very good, however, being from the USA, It was not really Mexican... More of a version of Australian/Mexican...however, very good. There is actual table service at this restaurant, which is what I am more accustomed. I only gave it 4 stars because the painted walls were hideous and threatening, my grandson was scared by the scary people on the walls and wanted to go home. The paintings just made for a sickening scene when you want to have a nice relaxing meal out. read more

Talk about walking away with a full stomach!!! Amazing food very fresh and filling the serves are huge. You can share starters and desserts if you want a three course meal. Service was lovely and had a issue but was resolved quickly. Would definitely go again and take a group to enjoy the experience. read more
