Mex and Co

Mexican food is nowadays not really hard to find, its more or less wherever you go. But good Mexican food are yet few to master. If you go here you will spend a couple of bucks more than other places around, but at the end of the day its probably worth it.
They have a pretty classic Mex menu with all the common dishes you would expect. I had the Chicken nachos which was served in a way i have never experienced before. It came very handy in a hot pan, which kept it warm while indulging it. Guac on top didnt disappoint and the size of it was just about right for lunch.
At the time, it wasnt much folks around so cant really judge their serving skills, but our food was served fast with no further issues.
So if you arent cheap and up for Mexican food, I would def. recommend this place to grab a lunch while visiting Manly for a day.

This place looked really good. And I will say that my food was pretty tasty. I got a couple of tacos and the corn on the cob with the watermelon marg. Everything was flavorful and yummy. The reason I’m giving them 1 star is because of my boyfriend’s experience. Sadly he found a giant piece of plastic in his veggie burrito. We alerted the staff in a friendly manner, and our server mumbled something (maybe an apology?) and walked away. I can forgive something if there is a solution offered. Unfortunately nothing was done for us– no new food, no discount, nothing. That was the last we heard about the issue– nothing from the manager or any other sort of apology. Disappointing for someone who has worked in the service industry for 10 years. :(

1 star because I can’t do negative rating, the pork belly tacos tasted like soy, the beef tastes like bad fish. I just hope I don’t get sick. This used to be a good place today the food was so disgusting, may need to alert health and safety.

At first we were offered a dark table with no lights, we politely asked if we could wait for another table to become available and the were fairly hesitant and tried to convince us to stay at the dark table. Eventually we moved tables & then ordered one beef nachos & two chicken nachos. Both chicken nachos came out cold & we politely informed the waiter. The food was rudely taken away to be replaced, however the replacement nachos was also cold. Unlikely to return, however the food tasted decently.

Came here for lunch with my wife today. It is a nice beach front restaurant with tasty food. We ordered combo fajitas (chicken and kangaroo). They definitely flavor their meat with amazing spices. I especially loved the tender taste of the kangaroo. My only wish that prices would be a bit more reasonable but that’s typical of Australia.

My husband and I are big fans of Mexican food but it is very hard to find authentic good Mexican food on the northern beaches… well not any more. We had the nachos to share as a started and I have to say it is the best nachos we have ever had. We then had the tacos, 2 each and they were so delicious, the pork belly one is a must try! They don’t add a lot of spice to the food during the prep but supply a bottle of hot sauce on the table. For the two of us the cost was around $ 80 but we also had a bottle of wine with dinner so it is a bit on the expensive side but you do pay for the view. If you go the right night and early enough you can sit upstairs overlooking the beach which is bliss. The staff were attentive and the food came out quick which was a bonus.

Really great Mexican food but I did find it a little pricey compared to the other Mexican places in the area. It goes get really busy sometimes and can be a little cramped. Staff weren’t very attentive when I was there but they were still lovely when we did see them. Really good drinks menu as well.

Awesome chicken fajitas, tuna ceviche, and jalapeño margarita. Friendly service and great beach view.

The food is great here the margaritas are up to scratch, the staff are friendly but the service needs to be improved on, takes forever to get service, the wait staff seem to just disappear at times. The kitchen was really messy when I walked passed which isn’t a big deal but not good for presentation. Will be back for more delicious food!

I had heard Mexican food was pretty pitiful down under, but I was thoroughly impressed and delighted to find this gem in Manly Beach. The beer selection included Negra Modelo and Bohemia, two of my favorites. The taco shells are made from scratch — soo good. Try the pork belly. Well-​appointed interior with all the Mexican kitsch I so love. And does anything beat sipping a margarita overlooking the ocean?

Being from California where the Mexican food is authentic and plentiful, I have to say this place is pretty decent.
I shared the fajita plate with my cousin — prawns and kangaroo — Mexican food, Aussie style! It was really good! They give you sour cream, guac and pico de gallo. The guacamole was nice and had a kick to it.
My other cousin had the fish tacos and raved about it. Overall a pretty good place for Mexican in Sydney.

Mexican food is my favorite, and this place is one of the best Mexican meals I’ve had in the Sydney area (note, I have a California-​influenced Mexican bias). My mother and I shared the beef and chicken fajitas combo, and we both loved it (AND she’s a pickier eater than me!). We also had a couple of the baja fish tacos and yes, they were delicious and I’ll definitely be coming back for more of those. Plus, the location near Manly beach can’t be beat. Highly recommend this place!

Mexican food is a tough gig in the land down under. However, I must tip my sombrero to Mex & Co for stepping up to the challenge. I have to say after trying a couple other places, Mex & Co wins hands down. Prime location facing the ocean, Mex & Co offers the closest thing to what I would truly consider good Mexican.
The prices we gauging… lunch for 2 w 1 cocktail each… about $ 60
-$ 9 for a handful of chips and guacamole, but at least it was good gaucamole
-$ 6/​tacos, (2 shrimp/​2 fish) and street style/​size tacos at that, but again the quality was good and my tortilla didn’t fall apart. (
) I do wish that somehow fish tacos could get away from being a piece of battered and fried fish thrown in a tortilla. If the fish is fresh, there is no need to fry it!
-$ 9 Soppapillas: cinnamon and sugar fried tortilla chips drizzled with honey– a delicious dessert
Overall, a good experience that left my pocket book a bit empty but I think so far is the leader in quality Mexican food with a nice dining experience.
