Best Contemporary Mexican Restaurants in Brisbane

We had an outstanding experience at Californios over the weekend. The food and service were excellent. A very special mention goes to André, our main service host. Though multiple members of the Californios team helped us, André's meal service combined sophistication, aplomb, and joy. Throughout the meal, we noted specific moments of technical genius and what must have been hundreds of hours of R&D. One simple example was a tortilla that did not shatter after multiple bites. Simply astounding. We were treated to a tour of the kitchen and wine cellar by General Manager Louis. We watched the brigade at work, serving their guests with precision and amazing treats. Chef Val has tuned his team perfectly, producing a symphony of his take on Mexican specialties. A final shout-out goes to Kelli, Chef de Cuisine and the expediter for our evening. She orchestrated a simply amazing composition emphasizing the exceptional textures from Chef Val and his team.

Absolutely incredible! We did the tasting menu with wine pairings and could not have been more pleased with every delightful course! A masterpiece in wonderful creative decisions, technique and execution. ✨Brava!✨
