Well the food is good but not as good as I have had at other Mexican restaurants and is not a traditional Mexican menu with the owners putting their own twist to the menu.
We had the empanadas and Gwyneth Paltrow soft tacos with sides of black beans, guacamole and rice.
Mains are small size but at $6 not bad for value but do not come with beans and rice as many other restaurants do which means you need to order the extras which are $4 - $5 each so can add up quickly.
The one thing that stood out for me was the corn chips, complimentary on arrival and delicious so I think they were made in house.
The sangria was great and the atmosphere intimate but a very young crowd of people and some a little loud.
Overall it was enjoyable

Gotta say that buying my LCD television was so easy after speaking with the electrical sales guys there. They pointed out some bad things about a model I was looking at if I wanted smooth motion and literally saved me from making a big mistake. I got a fair price and free delivery and installation chucked in as I was within the local area, now nobody else was prepared to do that and no other retailer tried to explain the negative things about a model I was looking at al they were focused on was talking it up trying to get me to buy. Joyce mayne were the only retailers that actually asked me what I wanted my tv to do and what I actually watched or used my tele for. I highly commend the guys and girls at joycies maitland and I will only buy my electrical gear from them now.

Approximate cost: $1189.00

Every time walk in there to buy a small appliance it seems the staff just don't want to help you. Very hard to get served. The only good salesman there who would take the time to serve you was the guy that called himself the big fella who I bought my fridge off but I believe he is no longer there. Now that he is gone I wont be coming back.

Simply the best take away food in Lake Macquarie. The most awesome hamburgers ever and they really hit the spot after a quick surf at Frenchmans which is just round the corner.
Also the only shop within Kooee to pick up a cake of wax before a surf and they still stock Summer Breeze Wax with that coconut smell, super sticky wax and the only place you can get it in the Swansea/Caves area.

Approximate cost: $4.50
