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…

Fiesta Yiros

Fiesta Yiros are a take away outlet in the Adelaide Central Plaza food court. They serve types of food; yiros, spuds, pides, AB and Mexican.

Burp

Burp is one of the first Mexican places to open up in Adelaide. This made Burp a bit of a novelty. These days, Burp has competitors and you’ll find a Mexican place in most food courts. They’ve also simplified their menu since I last visited and their offerings are now more in line with Zambrero….

The burrito was amazing, and definitely better than some of the store competitors that are around. The beef was soft, tender and beautifully flavoured….

Zapata’s

Zapata’s has to be one of the best Mexican restaurants in Adelaide if not the best! It’s definitely better than the poor cousin down the road. The restaurant is traditionally decorated, the service is exceptional, the staff are friendly and inviting, and the food is authentic. We came here with a group of 25 and…

Montezuma’s – Melbourne St

I’ve been to Montezuma’s several times over the years and the menu hasn’t changed. The menu offers a range of dishes, and various combinations of those dishes. While the food is not authentic, it is reasonably cheap. The restaurant has a Aztec theme about it with all the Mexican paraphernalia hanging off the walls. The…
