While having a big night on the town, one usually looks for some sort of sustenance to soak up all the alcohol. One of the healthier options available in the early hours of the morning is Zambrero. It’s essentially the Mexican version of Subway. Pick you style, pick your filling, pick your salsa, pick your…

Fiesta Cafe
Fiesta Cafe is a take away outlet located right in the centre of Harbour Town. They specialise in both Mexican and Turkish food. The Mexican offerings are fairly standard with your nachos, burritos, tacos and enchiladas. The Turkish food comes in the form of pides which come with various fillings. I can only think of…
Wine Underground
After reading all the negative reviews of this place, I came here with little expectation and was pleasantly surprised. Wine Underground is located towards the centre of Pirie Street in a nice modern building (it used to be in an old building that exploded and was then redeveloped). The decor is sleek and stylish with…
Holy Guacamoly
Adelaide’s love affair with everything Mexican continues as a new eatery called Holy Guacamoly has recently opened in the trendy Norwood cafe precinct. If you can imagine a Mexican version of Subway, this is it, although places like Burp, Arriba Grill and Zambrero already follow a similar concept. First off, you need to choose the…
Viva Zapata
Viva Zapata is located in a police station that is over 120 years old and is a joint venture between the owners of Zapata’s and Spice n Ice. Situated on the seaward end of Semaphore Road and perched upon a hilltop, this venue boasts breathtaking views of Semaphore beach. With the original lockups still intact,…
Hotel Tivoli
Hotel Tivoli is hidden away on the eastern side of Pirie Street. On the outside, it just looks like an old building with a towering apartment built behind it. The inside, on the other hand, is sleek, modern and stylish. The antlers hanging off the walls, the dark colour tones and furnishings, and the parquetry…
Gringos
Gringos is a Mexican restaurant conveniently located in the heart of Glenelg, right on Moseley Square. With a world map drawn as a wall mural, straw roof over the bar area, and dark coloured walls, you can see that they’ve attempted to make this place look traditional. It’s not as impressive as some other places,…
Mamasita – Melbourne
Mamasita is so popular, people are willing to wait 1-2 hours just to get a seat at this place. As we were in our final day in Melbourne, we weren’t leaving until we had eaten here. When we arrived at the restaurant, as expected, we couldn’t get a seat and were told to come back…
Arriba Grill – Cumberland Park
Arriba Grill is a franchise with 5 stores around the country, 2 in Queensland and 3 here in South Australia. The Goodwood store is basic in design with the LCD screens behind the counter giving it a slight modern touch. The store itself is really tiny. I counted 14 seats at this place. This consisted…
Maiz & Mezcal
I’ve heard reasonably good things about Maiz and Mezcal, so I was happy to make the journey out east to see what all the fuss was about. The place is located on busy Magill Road and is of a reasonable size. Taking up the floor space of 3 small shops, it could easily accommodate over…
