Taco Casa Ubud

Taco Casa UbudTaco Casa is the best Mexican restaurant in Ubud, possibly even in Bali (only in comparison to a few others), but there are limited options here for Mexican and this is a great restaurant!

It is located on Jalan Pengosekan, right on the bend going into town. There is a small amount of parking out the front, otherwise there is a laneway with ample parking across the road and 20m further from town.

The restaurant is efficiently run, with loads of attentive and friendly staff, and a great system in the kitchen that works well, as you always get your food in a timely manner. On top of all that the food is delicious.

Above is the salad bowl, which has an amazing mix of delicious Mexican ingredients, like avocado, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, corn, capsicum, your choice of meat, and a fabulous dressing, served in a crunchy crispy baked tortilla – which you can eat. There is another salad worth mentioning, the Fiesta, which has similar ingredients, (slightly different) and comes in a regular bowl with a few corn chips in it. That one is my favourite. Below is delight for the kids, MYO taco’s. Choose your ingredients off the list, then they all come separate for you to make yourself, the kids love it and they can choose what goes in them, so much fun! The shells and corn chips are all home made, and are really rustic and good.

The other favourite dish (Rob’s) is the burrito. A giant soft flour tortilla encasing some meat (of your choice), rice, beans, cheese, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, and maybe some other bits, with sauce. Spicy or not! Yummbo!

The kids other popular meal is the quesadilla, or the flat bread toasted sandwich I like to call it. several different fillings, served with guacamole, salsa, and sour cream. Always gobbled up quickly.

This place is a really fresh tasty Mexican restaurant, not the typical cheesy oily mass produced fare you sometimes get with Mexican. And all at a reasonable price. Gotta love it. I’m salivating thinking about it now!

Guzman y Gomez Review

Guzman y Gomez, Northbridge

Great new Mexican restaurant in Perth. Take my advice, try the spicy chicken guerrero burrito – grilled chicken (grilled in their special marinade) with pico de gallo and tomatillo salsa, rice, black beans and cheddar cheese, packed into a flour tortilla. I have not had a burrito as good as this since San Francisco. There are lots of options, you can pick a style (burrito/taco/quesadilla/nachos and then choose a filling (chicken/steak/beef/pork/fish or veggie). All the food is good really, fairly authentic Mexican fare as far as I can tell. Very casual and kids friendly, highly recommended.

Acapulco Annie’s Mexican Restaurant and Cantina Review

Acapulco Annie’s Mexican Restaurant and Cantina

In short, overpriced and poor service. Acapulco Annie’s has been on the Perth restaurant scene since 1980. From the decor at the Tuart Hill restaurant, not a lot has changed in that time. When we went there in October 2010. The Chimichanga looked good, though we tried the sizzling plate of Fajitas (not enough tortillas) and a Quesadilla, which were OK, but very overpriced for what it was. We wont be going back in a hurry.

Other Things You Should Know

  • happy hour cocktails every night from 6-7pm.

Santa Fe Restaurant Review

Santa Fe Restaurant, Subiaco, Western Australia

An old favourite, this place is as popular now as it has ever been. Not just the usual Mexican food, Santa Fe serves south west american and new mexican styles and flavours. The menu includes many interesting variations of the traditional nachos and burritos. It has been around for a long time on Hay St, and has undergone some changes over time.

  • open from 10am to Late every night, serving brunch from 10am – 5pm and dinner from 5pm onwards.
