If you like great tasting Mexican food then this is the place to go! Just watch your plate as the food certainly comes out hot!!! :) The staff are terrific, friendly, helpful & tentative. The atmosphere is very romantic with the whole restaurant decked out in colourful nostalgic posters, sombrero's, matador capes etc. The lighting is low & very romantic with candles at every table. The music can be a little loud at times but still allows for great conversations at your table & stops the table next to you from listening in to your conversations easily.

The price is decent, meaning that it isn't cheap but it isn't expensive either! I belive it to be suitably priced! :) They have specials nights that make it a great cheap night out too. My favourite is called "Cantina" nights that allow you to get combination meals at close to half the price they are normally. They also have other special's nights on through the week...so call & give them a go...you won't regret it! Oh & don't forget to try their Sangria but much sure you have a sober driver on hand to ensure a safe night for all.

Approximate cost: $20

I spent a great deal of money by separately bidding & winning auctions for a set of Tiffany Collectable lighting. One desk lamp, Floor Lamp & two chandeliers. As I had just bought my first home & was busy decorating it. In total I had bought $1000 worth of lighting through there auctions & was extremely excited about receiving my lights. All arrived except the floor lamp. When I called & spoke to them about it I was told that there was a despatch error & they would try & find another one for me as only had one floor lamp left & it was currently being auctioned. I enquired as to why they couldn't just cancel the current auction & give me that floor lamp seeing that I had already won the auction & had been waiting almost a month for it to arrive. To save confusing you with there long winded explanation I was simply told that they couldn't stop an auction as it was against company policy (even though there had been no bids & I had already won an auction for the same thing). I was further told that I would just have to hope & wait that the person who was incorrectly sent the floor lamp would notify them & send it back.

Anyway a few weeks later I finally received my lamp! I was so excited until I opened the box & found that it was smashed. It had obviously been repacked at some stage & the big heavy brass base had been thrown directly into the leadlight shade causing irrepairable damage. It almost took me another 2 months to get a refund. Not to all the time taken to write the emails, waiting on the phone & taking pictures for evidence.

They refused to replace it & also refused to allow me to return the rest of the set I had purchased now that it was no longer a set. This is the short version of a very terrible ordeal. As it took so many calls & emails....then threats of getting the Department of Fair Trading involved before I was treated right & even then it was far from acceptable customer service that I received. In the end I believe it easier, less time consuming & at the end of the day possibly even vheaper to go to the shops & buy things rather then ever go through another auction with Grays again.

Approximate cost: $290.00
