Great Mexican Cuisine Experience!
From avocado pieces, lemon, chilli, red onion etc. it gets all mushed together in front of you, creating the perfect dip for plantain chips!
If you love corn like I do, definitely try their corn ribs! The sauce and cheese it comes with compliments the dish so well 😊.
In their spicy fried chicken, the watermelon acts as a good cooling agent for 🔥🔥. Overall, great Mexican flavours and creativity in the mix 😁.
The Halloumi cheese is excellent: the tangy lime and agave nectar balances nicely with the briny cheese, and the potato bravas has just the right amount of smokey paprika with a touch of heat
Mejico on Pitt St holds a very special spot in my heart. It’s where Nirry and I actually went on our first date, and we’v been countless times for family birthdays, double dates and most recently for my best friends birthday. It’s become a restaurant I take people I am newly acquainted with, or for fun night out - particularly around Cinco De Mayo where they have all sorts of specials for Tequila and Margarita’s.
I dined at Mejico CBD on a weekday night. My table for 2 was ready as soon as I arrived and we were seated straight away (walk-in, no reservation at that time).
What i enjoyed the most was the pork tacos (2 tacos per plate) - it's quite a small portion however really delicious ! My next visit will def try the corn lollipop and margarita cheesecake.
I came here for my anniversary and was amazed by the quality of the food. We got the Feed me set and the watermelon and lime margaritas. Our personal favourites were the haloumi, kingfish, guac and the beef tacos. All dishes were high quality and rich in flavour. The service was also attentive and welcoming. Would definitely come back!

Loved this place. Service was friendly and extra accommodating. We went at 4pm Sunday and the vibe was perfect, not packed so it was nice a mellow and not loud, just perfect.
Jalapeño Poppers: 5/5 stars. Favorite dish of the night! Sooooo yum! Cheese had amazing flavor and premium tasting. 2 pieces were super spicy and the other 2 were medium spicy, so it just varies as they r jalapeños. These came out hot, fried, crunchy batter, juicy, just perfect. Came with a tasty creamy dip. I suggest ordering watermelon salad with this dish to mellow out the spice. This dish usually comes with three pieces, but server asked if we wanted an extra piece ($5) since we were sharing amongst two people, so we ended up ordering 4 pieces for this dish, happily. I’m gonna come back to this restaurant just to eat this dish again :-) Portion size: I suggest ordering two pieces per person.
Watermelon Salad: 4/5 stars. Fresh and juicy. Liked it especially cuz it tamed the spiciness of the Jalapeño Popper dish and complimented it well. flavors r very mild. The only thing is, I wish it had more mint leaves. I would order again. Portion size: good for one person.
Fresh Guacamole with Plantain chips: 5/5 stars. Im used to eating guacamole with tortilla chips and was very doubtful to try the plantain chips, but was pleasantly shocked that the plantain chips tasted better than the typical tortilla chips. Yummmm. The plantain gave it more depth and flavor, uniqueness, it had a slight crunch and slight softness, and was the star of this dish. I highly recommend! Now I’m only gonna want plantain chips when having guacamole heehee. This dish needed an extra pinch of salt, so after I added this, I thought it was perfect. It’s a fun dish to order cuz they make it table side. Portion size was plenty for two people to share.
Beef steak tacos: (3/5) average tasting, nothing special. Probably won’t order again. Needs a sauce or something to give it more flavor/juice. On the plus side, they gave a good amount of steak pieces and I liked how the steak was lean since I hate fat. One order comes with two soft tacos. I think it was $14. Least favorite dish of the night. Portion size: for one person.
I thought about ordering churros for dessert but was full since I also had a large coffee prior to coming here. Server lady was nice to offer a half portion of churros since I said I was full. I told her next time for sure. Was loving the good accommodating service here :-)
General portion sizes: small. I see it like a tapas size type place.
Price: it’s kinda pricey for the small sizes, but worth it! I like quality food and good service, so the price is justified.
Restrooms: great, clean, located inside of restaurant.
Vibe: great! we were a couple and came at 4pm (before the crowd) so the place was nice and quiet/mellow, but still had a lively feel to it. I did not need booking at this hour. Decor is hip and nice. Loved it. We sat in the middle of the restaurant since we felt the back of the restaurant was too isolated and back area didn’t have nice decor. If u make a booking then ask for the front/middle of restaurant for a more open and nicer decor/vibe.
Conclusion: food , vibe, and service exceeded our expectations. Will come back for sure! looking forward to trying their other dishes (like the shared meat dish and desserts) and also to have their jalapeño poppers again yummmm
Request for the Chef: would love to see authentic handmade beef tamales on your menu one day. I can’t find tamales in Sydney and it’s my fav Mexican dish so am hoping u will add this dish to your menu in the future, please :-)
Food was great. Servers were very friendly. Can’t complain as I thoroughly enjoyed everything.
At this colourful city restaurant on Pitt Street, you’ll find a modern twist on Mexican food, and a ridiculous amount of tequila and tacos. Mejico has been around since 2013 and still pulls a healthy crowd, which means you know the market-to-table menu is good.
Kick things off with some guacamole made fresh at your table, along with a serve of corn lollipops and mezcal-flamed halloumi, before moving onto an assortment of tacos, ceviche and charred meats. For dessert, it would be abominable not to get the churros. There’s also a reasonably priced $59pp classic feed me menu or $75pp deluxe version if you can’t be arsed making up your own mind.
To drink, there’s cocktails, wines, sangria and a confronting 200+ tequila menu. Do yourself a favour and choose a tequila flight or play spin the tequila wheel (it’s a real thing).
The happy hour/ lunch specials here are awesome! Great for a quick dine in. Their salmon tacos were perfect and only $2 on a taco Tuesday. Nachos were filling as friend couldn't finish them.
Always our favorite every time we visit Sydney. In-house freshly made Guacamole and chips you must try! My favorite Mexican experience so far!
We come to Mejico every time we're in Sydney. It is simply stunning Mexican food paired with outstanding tequila.
On the food: everything is great. Ask your waiter for their recommendations if you can't choose.
On the tequila: if you're not sure how to order, use their cute wooden slider to select your preferred taste, intensity, and price point, and they'll bring you the one that suits you. It's a great system and a lot of fun.
It's been a while since I came back here. The restaurant continues to have a good vibe, lively music and food was cooked well. The spot where we sat though, was difficult to get staff to attend to us. However, food did come promptly. The smoked trout and king fish ceviche was cooked well and generous portions of the guacamole. Would have preferred the table side preparation like they used to though, but I understand why they no longer have it. Overall not bad for a casual catch up =)
Noisy, welcoming modern space offering a small but wonderful selection of Mexican food done really well. The table smashed guacamole is great and very popular. The sangria selection is too easy to drink and goes so well with the food. The staff are attentive, friendly and happy to interact with customers, especially whilst smashing those avocados.
My friends and I had a fantastic experience having dinner and drinks. Santiago was a fantastic waiter and gave use some fab recommendations. We especially enjoyed playing the Mejico drinks game too! Highly recommend Mejico Pitt St to anyone who is after a cheeky Mex dinner 👌🏼
We have been couple of times to this restaurant and has been a great experience. The small dishes are great and are good portions good for sharing especially halloumi and beef tacos. The cocktails are also great along with mains. The portions of mains are not very huge but good for one person. Overall it has great food & ambience. Highly recommend this place.
Beautiful food and atmosphere, had a great waiter who went above and beyond with dietary requirements. Set menu and a couple of cocktails came to $120 P/h. Food was very nice.
I had a great time in this restaurant. Food was very delicious, atmosphere was authentic and there is a good choice of drinks (especially various types of tequila and tequila based cocktails). There is an interesting tequila recommendation tool. The jalapeños margaritas were enjoyable too.
Only thing is that portions are a bit small, thus pricey.
We came for a simple anniversary and were greeted upon arrival with a complimentary champagne to celebrate. If you can, make a booking to come in at a quiet time before the dinner rush as it is a very cozy & comfortable. Plus the friendly staff have a chance to chat to you a bit more :)
