My gfs and I had our first catch up in ages here at Tequila Mockingbird and it did not disappoint. This restaurant has been on my list for ages and it was a good opportunity to eat good Mexican and celebrate our birthdays.
As it is only a 1.5 hour seating with a set menu. We did feel rushed but we knew this was a requirement. Luckily i am a fast eater! We had help with our server who guided us what was good and we all enjoyed everything we ordered. The cauliflower was so addictive. Loved its thin batter! Wagyu and chicken were both tasty and we all ordered a cocktail and shared a bottle of rose.
It was a good night out and I would definitely come back.
Really nice place with a great atmosphere. We went with a group of 4 and shared a whole heap of starters and mains. The starters were really nice with the kingfish tiradito, mixed mushroom tacos and soft shell crab tacos being standouts but they were all pretty good.
However the mains were a let down with the wagyu steak being pretty tough and chewy and the charcoal chicken being pretty plain. The kindler potatoes had an overpowering tandoori flavour to it and didn’t go down well. We did have a tonne of mojitos and they went down a treat and were pretty nice.
Shame about the main because if they were standard of the starters then this place would have been brilliant, but still good overall.
So yummy! Love the food, especially the soft shell crab taco.. and the cocktails are divine! Can’t wait to go back!
Latin American food in Paddington. Officially the best eats I’ve ever had in Paddington is Tequila Mockingbird. It may be a bold statement, but I encourage you to try for yourself. Every dish was refreshing, vibrant, energetic and extremely flavourful. Least to say, Chef Jon Is a culinary genius.

It’s hard to know where to begin with Tequila Mockingbird, because this spot does a lot of things well. The restaurant is named, not for the fabulous figurine Maxwell Smart and Agent 99 set off to Mexico to recover, but, in an apparent moment of synchronicity, when owner Michael Fegent drew his own inspiration directly from Harper Lee’s book, To Kill A Mockingbird. Fegent also drew inspiration from his travels across South America and Mexico to come up with a menu and setting that takes you on an epic road trip, all without leaving Paddington. You'll find his resulting restaurant arranged across three levels of a heritage-listed 1898 terrace that's been delicately updated by Luchetti Krelle to softly reflect the journey you'll be taking. Now, if we’re going...
Love, love this place and love the name. Friendly staff and scrumptious dishes. And given the name, they have a superb bar and cocktail list. We don’t have that many South American eateries in Sydney and so pleased to say that this one is a winner! #southamericanfood #tacos #guacamole
The staff were very accommodating. The food was freshly prepared and delicious. There was a good variety of drinks and cocktails to choose from. The only disappointment was the dessert menu. I felt it was very basic and didn’t really tie into the the South American cuisine. Other than that, it was a pleasant experience!
Nice place, nice atmosphere, excellent quality food, service was a little sketchy but staff tried to make up for any mistake in a friendly professional way.
Staff were extremely nice but was sometimes were hard to hear as they spoke very soft. Food was really good and was a great experience. Will definitely be back.

Simply put this place made my night. Wow wouldn’t even do it justice. It’s not just the food that was great, it’s the staff, the atmosphere and amazing drinks on hand to make you feel like you’re actually at a bar in Latin America. A must for all !!
Delicious food! The signature drink is a must try. Had the tasting menu, $85 pp and it was the best decision. Every single thing that came out was super impressive. Highly recommended!
This slow-cooked barbecued roasted lamb shoulder deserves to be on the main page! It’s so soft that the lightly fatty meat slides off the blade bone easily at the prof of a fork, and along with the chimichurri… it’s just perfect. 👨🍳 🤌 and the rest of the food was just as good and tasty and exceptional!
And their heavenly signature cocktail? Tequila Mockingbird is a well-built mix of muddle cucumber and jalapeño chilli with elderflower liqueur coated with Mexican Chili/salt 🌶 spicy with the right amount of alcohol kick.
Our date night in TMB was sensational and we can’t wait to introduce this to our friends and go back for the second round!
❤️
Great service and vibe, very tasty food. We had 6 people and ordered the banquet menu, the food portions were very generous.
Also the tequila themed cocktails are worth trying.
The best Prawn Tacos I have ever had. Amazing location and service. This place and the location takes you to an experience you would get on the back streets of Spain
Enjoyed a delicious meal here. The kingfish cerviche was great. We shared a very generous potion of charcoal lamb shoulder with salsa. The octopus was amazing flavours and tender. Great cocktails and the lemon yuzu dessert we shared was the perfect finish. You won’t be disappointed with the food or the attentive service. Thankyou .
Brilliant!!
Wow what a great restaurant.
Friendly staff, edgy tasty food, nicely presented, generous serve sizes, cooked from fresh, great side dishes on offer, decent wine list, a great eating experience
Worth a few more visits!
All very good and tasty and the service was excellent!
We tried the Set Menu!
Atmosphere of a classic South American Pousada.
Omg, the ceviche tacos might be one of the closest experiences to feel heaven in your mouth...
I booked Tequila Mockingbird by mistake as I wanted to book Esteban, however it is one of those honest mistakes you love to have.
Great atmosphere, latin music that makes u feel like dancing, tequila in every single imaginable cocktail, exceptional service and the food... well I can't express enough how glad I was to be there...
Keep it up guys 🌮🍹❤
