Four of us had a great assortment of dishes. As there were 2 vegans in our group we selected a number of outstanding vegan dishes plus a delicious duck selection. Will definitely return.
Super fast service food was on table seemingly in seconds of ordering - all meals were flavoursome and a good size - we shared which is recommended - dessert was fabulous - our waiter was really friendly and helpful
This place is absolutely awesome. Great atmosphere, heaps of options for seating (outside, by the bar, inside, relaxed deep chairs by the outdoor wood fire pizza oven), and fantastic service. The food is fabulous. I don’t think we could have ordered a dish that we didn’t love. And the nachos are hands down the best I’ve had ever...that’s a big call, but they are a must to order if you come here!
Thank you Hispanic mechanic for a great lunch with friends... we will be back!
Very interesting food, quite nice, very creative, well cooked and quick to table. A little expensive, some meals not that big. Can highly recommend.
Food was awesome!!!!! I don’t think it’s authentic Mexican food though but still tasted great! Not five stars tho because some dishes were a bit too salty and overall the place is a bit expensive.
A very busy restaurant. We dined early with two kids and their meals came out within 7mins. They loved their food. But the nachos had hardly any cheese or any other topping. To be charged $13 was a rip off(photo below). No burritos but plenty of different tacos to try.
Not convinced on the hype....amazing decor, great drinks list. Top ambience.
Service was pushy and impersonal. I work in hospitality, i know that a group of young twenty somethings on a Friday night are gonna be pretty keen for a fun night. Our older waiter looked like he'd rather be anywhere but with us. He was so disinterested in making it enjoyable.
Food was hit and miss. Nachos delicious. Generous serve and tasty. Definitely needed extra sauce though- avocado wouldn't have gone astray...
Tacos yum, but waiters recommendation of two a person was a joke. You'd need at least 3 to fill up.
Vegetarian enchiladas were so bland and boring. Non descript, mushy filling and the weirdest almost tasteless sauce.
Majority of the table found meals on either end of the spectrum. Great or boring. No real in between.
Dessert good, the tres leche cake was rich and filling. House juice also fantastic. The lobster taco special had a little too much going on.
Work on the flavors and service and you'd have a winner. But unless the chef or menu change, I won't be back.
Hispanic Mechanic is a Latin American and Korean fusion restaurant; the ambience there was really nice, both outdoors and indoor seating was available and both had really great decor. The staff there were really friendly too. It's not too busy on a Sunday afternoon, and parking should be relatively easy to find.
In terms of the food, I ordered the Nachos Santos and the Vegetarian Enchiladas to share. I really enjoyed the Nachos Santos, the serving was big and definitely worth the price! The corn chips were seasoned to be slightly spicy and salty, which complimented the toppings perfectly. The ratio of the toppings was also really good, so that you could taste everything without one overpowering the other. The jalopenos gave the dish a kick of spice which I liked; and the sour cream and salsa was enough to add flavour without making the chips soggy by the end of the meal!
The Vegetarian Enchiladas however, I was disappointed in. The filling didn't really have any flavour, the dish lacked texture, and the sauce wasn't my cup of tea, but I can't quite pinpoint what it is. It's also a very overpowering sauce. That said, the pickled vegetables and the fried mushrooms (?) which accompanied the enchiladas were delicious, and I loved them!
I didn't get to try any of the fusion dishes this time, and may come back to try it. Hispanic Mechanic is a really nice trendy place to visit with decent food in my opinion. However, I wouldn't go out of my way to try it.
The food was okay, it looks amazing but lacked the zing that you will get at 'Lucky Lupita's'.
Having said that the atmosphere is trendy and romantic so going here for drinks and starters with a hot date would work quite well.
Great ambiance and setting, fits large groups, make sure you book as it gets very busy. Fusion mexican cuisine. Crispy rolled up tacos with beef brisket wrapped in it. Tasty with the guac dressing. Perfrct size for entree. The pork belly taco is the best, the meat so tender and has a good fat and meat ratio. The crispy kingfish taco was not very crispy. Flavour was alright. The mains beef ribs were deliciously smoked and pairs well with the mashed potatoes. It's not as tender due to its smoked preparation, but its still good. Would love to have more of the sauce on it. Overall food was great, but on the pricey side.
Beautiful place with great indoor and outdoor seating. The ambiance and Deco is lovely and the food is delicious. Dancing daikon has many tasty vegan options!
Came for dinner with my son who is vegan and loves Mexican cuisine
We started with a nachos which they veganized for us. Was generous for the 2 of us ,cornchips were nice and crispy and the spice coating had a real zing to it.
Tacos followed...the kingfish was my favourite... a real flavour explosion. I also had the smokey chicken and a famous KFC( Korean Fried Cauliflower).
My son also had a vegan stuffed chilli dish which I was too full to even taste.
This is not El cheapo style pile on the cheese Mexican...attention is given to all the ingredients to create varied and interesting flavours...all my 3 vegan kids love the vegan menu here and I enjoy those dishes as well .
Only issue was the online booking had all the outdoor tables full and yet half empty all night
Atmosphere was great, good drinks, food was a bit bland but still except able. Really good dessert.
This is a MUST visit.
Really enjoyed our event here.
The “Vegastation” event was really well done.
Essentially a Vegan event from the same crew as the Vegan festival..
It’s great to visit FUN and themed venues with creative attention to detail.
The staff were friendly, professional and helpful.
The drinks and food menu was plentiful and seemed to be something for everyone. In this day and age,,catering for the Dietary requirements of Vegteraians, Vegans, Lactose free, etc is a given and will always add value and credibility to a Food business.
If it’s done well, these people are willing to travel and pay a reasonable price to be accommodated for.
The Hispanic has a Plant based menu and fun our has it even a dedicated Vegan kitchen..
The amenities were clean and Covid requirements easy and in line with current requirements.
We will definitely be adding this one to our list of places to return to and will keep an eye on the socials for events.
Thanks again and look forward to returning again soon.
🍴👏🏼 😃
The food was amazing. I dined with five friends and we were all impressed and keen to return soon. The beef rib was as it should be for slow cooked - it just fell off the bone. Great area with indoor and outdoor dining. Great vegan menu. You must visit.
