This place is great. I have eaten here several times - it is always necessary to make a booking though as the queue for walk-ins is very long. The food is great value and delicious and fresh, with a great range of Mexican delights. The sangria and margaritas are also amazing. The only downside of this place is that it is very crowded and noisy and the tables are quite crammed in, so I have generally left and gone elsewhere for dessert and coffee to get some quiet. I think they need to move to bigger premises! However, this is the BEST Mexican place I have eaten in.

Approximate cost: $15-20

Went in for lunch and ordered a lunch special. The food was very tasty, however the items on the regular menu were quite expensive and with only 5 dishes on the lunch menu (3 of which were soup) the choice for a value lunch wasn't really there. The service was also very disappointing - waiting a considerable time for our order to be taken and our food to arrive. The staff were friendly, but for the price, there are better options around.

Approximate cost: $20-25

This place is 'average'. They do offer different meal specials, and there is a good playground for kids, however it is hard to supervise the kids when they are in it, so that is a bit of a drawback. I would go there again, as it was a pleasant experience, but wouldn't rate it above average.

Approximate cost: $10-15

This review is for Olivers @ Manly, Manly QLD

I went here for dinner with a friend and the service was great. It is in a really good location, looking over the water and the restaurant has a modern feel, whilst still maintaining a fine dining ambiance. The meals weren't cheap, but they were delicious and also generous portions (we had no room to sample the dessert!) and the wine was reasonably priced for restaurant wine. I will definitely be going back here.

Approximate cost: $35

I went here for breakfast recently and found the coffee was incredibly bitter. We had to wait for ages to be served and then for our breakfast to arrive. When the food arrived, it was definitely edible, but certainly not worth the prices that were charged. This place is definitely overpriced for the service and quality. I won't be dining back here in a hurry.

This restaurant is better than most around. The food was above average and the prices were competitive. I was impressed how well the staff dealt with my friend's disabled son and included him and joked with him. I would definitely go back here again for a meal.

I ate here a while ago (maybe over a year ago) and it was fantastic, but recently I had the worst experience. I went with a group and we had pre-ordered. When we arrived, they asked if they could bring out the mains with the entrees, which is not really the idea! Then when we said 'no', it seemed like a real hassle. We ended up waiting an hour for the entree and another hour for the mains and the restaurant was only maybe half full. No one came around with water or offering more drinks and when the food arrived, all of us that had ordered crab found it inedible. It was disgraceful.

Approximate cost: $30

This review is for Complete Dental, Wynnum West QLD

I take my kids to this dentist (personally I have yet to change!) but love the service which they provide. They are great with kids. My middle son was a little apprehensive about going and they let him know exactly what was happening all the time and let him hold and feel some of the instruments before they used them. I won't take my kids anywhere else now.

This review is for Whitsunday Gold Coffee, Proserpine QLD

I bought some of this coffee on holiday and am so pleased that I will be able to order more online as it is EXCEPTIONAL. The staff member that I saw was really friendly and knew what she was talking about - telling me all about the coffee that is grown there onsite. I think this is an amazing business with a great product at a competitive price.

I love this shop for picking up unusual items. It looks a little 'hippy' for my usual tastes, and does have that element to it, but it also has a great range of silver jewellery, bags (which is what I purchased), homewares, shoes and clothes.
