   The food share boards cocktails etc were all awesome however the drinks service left a lot to be desired We were constantly trying to attract someone’s attention to get drinks When they came tho they were delicious Try the Margis & the share boards Apparently they were short staffed so probably were doing the best they could Anyway great food!

   Very nice food. Wait service a little slow. Beautiful new fit-out but I prefer my Mexican restaurants more colourful. The complimentary guacamole and corn chips served on arrival was a most welcome touch and the Margaritas were Devine. I will definitely be returning soon.

   First visit to this tastefully decorated new restaurant in Sanctuary Cove - the food was just delicious with Gluten free options available. The wait staff were very available - all in all it was a pleasant experience. I will definitely be returning.

   Extremely overpriced set menu for what we got. Paid $130 for me and my partner for pretty much corn chips and 2 mini tacos. The taste and presentation of the food was appalling. Will not return.

   You only get one chance to make a good first impression and today, Mother's Day Sunday, Pablito's clearly missed that opportunity. Despite a reservation made a week ago and confirmed yesterday, there was no table waiting for us when we arrived and we found ourselves on a small table not set up where we had to add chairs. We were given 1 menu for 4 people explaining very quickly the concept of the unique menu for Mother's Day at $65. A charming waitress came a few minutes later to offer us a slightly larger table, which was much appreciated. We found the starter very disappointing, there was a bowl of corn chips, a bowl of pickled fish, a small bowl of corn is a bowl of guacamole. Everything was surprisingly lacking in flavor and spice, especially the fish and guacamole, we had to ask for salt and pepper (which weren't on the table) to give it some flavor. The nachos for the main course were very good. The burritos for dessert ok but far from exceptional. Clearly the value for money was very disappointing. The waitresses were considerate, attentive and professional, fortunately, it saved an overall disappointing experience.

   Food was great but the Mothers Day set menu was a rip off. I was not aware of this set menu when I booked. Shared starter was the same size for 4 people as it was for 2 and was presented on a small plate and the food was spilling off it. Definitely not worth the money.

    Would have been a 5* review if it had not taken so long for food to arrive at lunchtime we waited an hour. I will try again this did not put me off.

    Nice to see a vibrant and trendy eatery arrive at Sanctuary Cove. On the plus side, the margaritas are delicious, the decor inside is on-trend and the food filling and moorish. On the downside, the lighting outside is too bright and makes you feel like you are at a food hall. The tacos are also on the expensive side and I feel are over-stuffed - they should be smaller so that you can try a greater range on offer.

    Booked for 4 people, and was allocated a table for 2 when we arrived - the waitress explained that it had something to do with their booking system that squeezed us in when they actually didn’t have the room for us at all (very strange as I received both a text and an email confirming our reservation for 4 people - I booked online). I was very confused as to why we weren’t given another table as when we arrived most tables were empty with only 5 tables occupied. I was told they were fully booked for the day and couldn’t be allocated another table. I had to ask for another chair to be added to our table and two of us had to share a booth seat. Service was initially very good and very attentive. However once we received our food, no one checked on our meals and so we had to approach the waitress a couple of times to ask for water and extra corn chips, and again later for a take away container and our bill (rather annoying seeing the restaurant wasn’t at full capacity). We wanted to order desert however couldn’t get the waitress’ attention, so we decided to spend our money at the icecream shop a few doors down the street. During our time at the restaurant (1.5hrs) I witnessed them tell 4 separate parties that they were fully booked, however not once during that time were the restaurant full. At most, 8 tables were occupied. Although I’m pretty disappointed in seeing and experiencing this, I realise the restaurant has only just opened and may be going through some teething issues. My hope they will get this sorted soon. Truth is, the food is really amazing and we would love to support the restaurant. Having another lunch/dinner option in SanctuaryCove is great, and so we will give them another go.

    Great New Mexican in Sanctuary Cove! Our waiter was was very good and made sure we were aware straight away that they were busy and it would be a longer than normal wait. The cocktails were just amazing . All the food was delicious although I did think it was odd they used rump steak for their choice of meat as it was very tough.
