Playa Takeria - Darlinghurst

Some of the best and most authentic Mexican food in Sydney, though be warned their service and space may turn off some. We started off with Playa Guacamole

Just popped my Cinco De Mayo cherry, and now I wonder why I held out for so long.

What a great time we had here celebrating Mexicos "Cinco de Mayo"!! Marauchi band, sombreros, margaritas and tacos.

Unfortunately this is not on my recommendation list . It was difficult to ask for any level of service, we had to ask twice for our guacamole and chips - it finally arrived at the end of the meal and it was obvious by the cold brown avocado that this had been prepared hours ago . And then the corn ..... where not burnt it was raw . An interesting combination . Tacos were soggy and cold. Really wanted to like this place but on this visit it was not to be unfortunately .

I wrote this review on Google and thought I should add it here because it was soo bad and wanted to warn fellow travellers and foodies. I wish I could give no stars but this won't let me. My partner and I went here last night with a voucher for 2 tacos and tequila for 2 people. Worst dining experience ever. The male staff who sat us was nice but the waitress who took our order was not very helpful or welcoming at all. We were told that they didn't have 4 out of 7 tacos on the menu (no pork, potato or prawn based tacos at all) which meant we only had 3 flavours to choose from - too bad if we didn't like them. Mind you this was a Tuesday night - not exactly busy so why they had already run out of most of their menu I can't understand. It would have been fine if the waitress had offered us an alternative to compensate but no - she couldn't have cared less. We also asked if we could have our tequila with a mixer - and she flat out refused (very poor 'responsible service of alcohol') - so we didn't even get our tequila. On top of all this the tacos we did get were cold, extremely soggy - you couldn't even pick them up they were so wet. and there was no taste to them. The absolute WORST dining experience. My partner and I left quite angry and went to have a proper meal at a local Thai place.
