Incredible food! The whole menu being gluten free made it such a stress free experience and every dish way over delivered. Great little vibe - cozy, intimate and funky. The service was polished yet unpretentious, friendly yet unobtrusive. 10/10 - have recommended.

GREAT YUMMY TACOS, Gluten Free, Freshly Made. Had a great catch up with a mate, this place has great vibes & yummy food. HIGHLY Reccomend It. Owner and her staff are amazing! Founder was a former Gym instructor so its nice to know your getting quality, nutrious, fresh ingredients. Highly Reccomend it.

All the food is vegan and gluten free. Set menu is very convenient and there is plenty of food. Definitely recommended if you have allergies or follow a vegetarian/vegan diet. Staff are nice and welcoming, definitely gonna go back!

amazing place!! nearly every single item on the menu is gluten free and was reassured after telling them i had coeliac disease. everything we ordered tasted great, it is on the more expensive side but definitely worth it. we went for the truffle fries, broccolini, chips with guacamole, beef tacos, chicken tacos, and prawn tacos. the prawn and beef tacos were the stars of the meal!

Had dinner tonight with a large group and can not wait to come again. Three of us are coeliac and there were so many options for us. The gluten free churros are amazing and I’ll be bringing my younger children back just for those on a picnic blanket by the water. The atmosphere was really nice. I noted the recent reviews regarding service before going and other than the staff obviously being busy, the service was great and the staff were friendly

Always love coming here when I’m in Byron! Amazing margs, nachos, quesadillas. You really can’t go wrong…service is always quick and perfect location! They also accommodated my friend who was celiac. Can’t wait to come back for more!

Had an amazing experience here with the lovely Koyal! Everything was so delicious and I felt very safe as a coeliac with the entire menu being gluten free!!! Thanks Koyal for a great evening, we will be back!

What an amazing place. Food was yummy and so fresh and tasty. Atmosphere was fun and playful. Service was amazing and our waitress knew her food and menu and helped us select foods. Was also able to adjust for gluten free which was great. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Mum and I went for dinner last night and really enjoyed the food. Really appreciative of the dietary options able to do most things gluten free which was great. Lovely service and five star food and drink! Would recommend!

An otherwise nice experience ruined by one very rude staff member. The food was alright, nothing we’d rave about. A few points on the lower rating: - We had initially booked for 22-23 people and had 3 extra show up last minute that were missed in our final headcount, we understand this could be inconvenient but we did have the space on the table allocated to fit them. Unfortunately, the waitress was quite snappy when she asked “Is there more people coming?! There’s no more space nor extra tables for anyone” before storming off. This was an initial experience that made us feel awkward. We understand the inconvenience but we also accept that if the extra attendees could no fit a reasonable solution would’ve been to explain that we only booked for 23 and that they should leave. - The behaviour continued on from here: my colleague let her know she was the one who had ordered the gluten free taco and she snapped back at her in such a way that a quarter of the table pulled faces in shock. - When we asked them for the cake. It was brought out unprepared in a box. Perhaps an over sight if they were busy but really unusual. But as it was this waitress that brought it out in a box and another server who offered to then take it back and serve it on a plate one can never be too sure. - The music was loud. Like, SUPER loud. Which makes it understandable when the staff speak louder. But the waitress in question was super loud and at times to the point of yelling when snapping at us and pulling faces like she was very unhappy to be there or serving us. The other two servers were very lovely. So we’ve bumped the star rating up for them. - Lastly, we also had issues when we were asked to leave. We were well aware we had a timed booking and honestly they did well to stick to time, it didn’t feel like we were being asked to leave too quickly after we finished eating but again the rude waitress was very short with us whereas the other waitress was more apologetic and said times up just letting you know you need to leave. - Overall it was a profound experience. Sadly the food wasn’t redeeming enough to make it enjoyable. Some suggestions if I may: If your staff are having a bad time, assign them to a different table. Everyone’s going to be happier in the long run. Turn the music down slightly. Music definitely brings vibes but if you’re all yelling at each other or having to ask people to repeat things enough times until you default to smiling and nodding - it’s definitely too loud. If people have timed bookings, it is completely reasonable to say something like “just letting you all know you have 15 minutes left on your booking, we are a bit busy tonight so we’d really appreciate that you leave on time so we can prepare for the rest of our night” and to give timed reminders after that point. Again if people aren’t moving at that time (happens so often with larger groups, trust me we know it) just again be firm but not rude with “sorry times up! We hope you had a good night but we will need to start preparing the table for our next guests” To the waitress directly: It’s best not to assume everyone is stupid and against you on a bad day. Some of us have also done our hard yards is hospitality too and know how it gets serving large tables. You’ll find that most people are sympathetic if you’re feeling a bit off but you’re in a customer facing role, please learn to take breaks if you need them.

While the food and service was pretty good, the pricing definitely does not match the portion sizes! My partner and I dined here for dinner, spending hundreds on food, and we ended up having to get takeaway food elsewhere because we were still hungry. Not a huge deal, but we also ordered the ceviche specifically specifying that it be WITHOUT crispy shallots due to coeliac disease and not being able to have gluten. We were assured this was okay, however, the food came with the crispy shallots anyway.

Had a great time in a lovely at atmosphere with a heavy plant and tropics vibe. Food was excellent and handled our coeliac issues with grace. Recommended

We rocked up to Chica Bonita last night, no booking, just vibes (and praying for a table because yall are always booked and busy). Faye, the legend, made it happen. Table secured, minimal wait time. How bloody good! Big shoutout to Faye and Connor for looking after us like absolute pros. As someone with coeliac disease (I know, worst customer ever—sorry!), I felt so looked after. They took it seriously, explained everything clearly, and made sure I could eat safely and deliciously. Legends. You can tell the team actually enjoy being there—the energy was so good, music was on point, and the rain outside? Paid actor. Pure ambience. Cocktails? Dangerous (in the best way). Food? Ridiculously good. Vibes? Unmatched. Already counting down to our next visit. Thanks team!

Mostly gluten free menu and coeliac safe, too. Incredible food! We had the tasting menu and would highly recommend it. I’d go back in a heartbeat. Unsure why it isn’t more known about.

Awesome Mexican food at very reasonable costs. Being coeliac it was great to be able to sit down with friends and enjoy a meal together. The staff made me feel very comfortable, they were well trained and guided me through the options. Thanks for a great experience.

Excellent food that makes sure no one misses out, providing perfect substitute for people who are dairy or gluten-free. Great nachos with even better guacamole, the tacos are also divine and what's unique about this place is that it's one of the only places I've been where they have gluten and dairy free churros!

Outstanding experience at bottomless brunch! Quite possibly the best guacamole we’ve ever had. We enjoyed both the classic and guava margaritas. And the best part was that their entire menu is gluten free! Thanks so much for the excellent service, we will definitely be back

I came in just the other day during a rush. Was expecting low quality food and a rushed experience. The lady that served me (told me her name was Lisa) took time to make it perfectly. She swapped gloves, scoops, and plates because I told her I was celiac. I’m absolutely coming back, super friendly and patient servers. Burrito was awesome!

bella hooton

Zoey our server was absolutely superb, she helped me so much making sure my food was celiac safe !

Nice place for a quick bite in Newtown - the staff were really helpful with making my order gluten free and coeliac safe. It's very much a takeaway joint rather than sit-down but I enjoyed the range of options and thought it was reasonably priced for the area!

Tamales are some of my favourite foods having lived in the the south west US for many years, and so I was really looking forward to coming to this place. It didn’t disappoint! I was excited because most things were gluten free. The banana leave tamale was slightly different to the corn husk ones I was used to, it was more moist, but still quite flavourful. The highlight was the tlacoyo. Corn chips were crunchy and of ideal thickness, however, I thought the guacamole didn’t taste fresh. I doused my food in the unlimited salsa, that was quite good too. There are very limited choices in Sydney for authentic Mexican food, so I’m glad I found somewhere decent. Will come again to try the other dishes.

Mexicana Cantina in Toukley is a vibrant and authentic Mexican dining spot that perfectly captures the lively spirit of Baja Mexico and Southern USA cantinas.

There’s something for everyone, including generous gluten-free options, and the staff are always happy to help with dietary needs to ensure a safe and enjoyable meal. The cocktails deserve a special mention—expertly crafted Margaritas and other tequila-based drinks complement the food beautifully and add to the overall lively vibe of the cantina. The service is friendly and attentive, making you feel welcome whether it’s your first visit or you’re a regular. Overall, Mexicana Cantina is a true gem on the Central Coast, offering authentic flavours, great drinks, and a fun atmosphere that keeps locals coming back. If you’re in Toukley and craving genuine Mexican cuisine with a creative twist, this is the place to go.

After receiving a birthday voucher via email we thought we would try Taco Bill while passing through Albury. We had not dinned at a Taco Bill for years. Best decision by far! The staff were next level. So helpful and kind. I have not experienced such great customer service before. Even my children commented on leaving that the staff were so friendly. Hubby is a coeliac and the staff had great knowledge. I wish we lived closer as this would definitely be our new favorite restaurant. Although Taco Bill is a franchise this felt like stepping into a family restaurant which we learnt was. Huge thanks to the whole team. You clearly love what you do. Thank you so teaching my kids the value of great customer service.
