    We decided to book for lunch prior to a theatre show. The food was good and there was plenty (two of us had the banquet). My other friend had chosen another menu item only to be told it wasn’t available though. She was a little disappointed as she only found out it wasn’t available when she ordered and there had been no indication when initially choosing from the menu that it wasn’t available. She ordered something else which was tasty. However, when we arrived at our table there were crumbs and pieces of food on the seats. One of the plates was chipped and we asked the waiter to provide a replacement plate which he kindly did. The service was ok when the waiter was around but several times he disappeared out the back for long periods of time and there were no other wait staff in the place. Near the end of lunch I used the bathroom out back and noted the place to be at a lower cleanliness standard than expected as well as areas where things were stored exposed to public view. All in all we were disappointed with the service, ambience and cleanliness so wouldn’t go back.

    It’s been a minute since we’ve been to Mexican Society. However it did not disappoint! Food is still fantastic! Service was great and the price was reasonable.

    Underwhelming. Service - we had to initiate service every time, there was no proactive service to the table. They also didn’t provide one if the entrees, we had to go over this several times when finalising the bill even though the staff were apologetic and polite. The food was average, bland and not the light fresh flavours you expect with mexican. Exception was the chicken bowl - this was fresh and good flavours, the chips were also hot and crispy. The portion sizes were large.

    Menu not straight forward. Food was tasty but expensive for what it was. We pre-booked but were treated like we didn’t and stuck in a back table despite restaurant not being busy. Bathrooms disgusting.

    Love this Mexican restaurant. The food is amazing, fresh and light. The service is also really good. We usually order a few starters to share and a couple of tacos each. They are all so delicious it is hard to choose but I love the beef cheek and the chicken tacos. It is a little loud, especially on busy weekend evenings. They do have a quiet corner with a few tables though so just request if that is what you are after. Highly recommend if you love Mexican food.

    What a gem of a place, the food was scrumptious and very well presented making it so inviting to eat. Service was good, friendly and helpful. Assortment of food including vegetarian. Atmosphere and decor was as the name says. Very quant and suitably Mexican.

    Staff were quick to take orders and very courteous. They were prompt in removing used dishes and asking if we needed more drinks. The food was very delicious. Would recommend.
