The 38 Best Restaurants in Sydney, Australia | Eater

"At Maíz, chef Juan Carlos Negrete Lopez celebrates how foundational corn is to Mexican food. Try the esquites broth, bracing with lime and zinging with seven-chile mayonnaise. While the vegan hibiscus sope (slow-cooked and braised like al pastor) from Maíz’s Summer Hill market days isn’t a regular fixture at the current Newtown address, Negrete Lopez still proudly represents Mexican cuisine while catering to local dietary requirements; his tetela (corn pocket filled with confit fennel in epazote oil) accommodates diners who are gluten-free, vegan, or avoiding garlic or onion. Know before you go: Negrete Lopez joins a surge of Mexican-born chefs in Sydney celebrating their heritage, like tamale queen Rosa Cienfuegos; Manuel Díaz, who mixes bush foods with salsas at Nativo; and Alejandro Huerta on Lottie’s rooftop." - Lee Tran Lam

Delicious food — every dish bursts with flavor; dining here is truly an experience. The place is cozy, and the staff are very friendly. It was great to explore traditional Mexican food and I really wasn’t sure what to expect, but flavours were heavenly. volcan de pulpo with octopus - this was also perfect to share. The octopus was incredibly tender, but the small unassuming cup of consome was the star - slightly spicy yet refreshing with every little sip.

Unforgettable food — every dish bursts with flavor; dining here is truly an experience. The place is cozy, and the staff are very friendly. I want to come back with all my friends to show them what I’ve discovered: the best restaurant in Sydney so far.

My photos don’t do the food justice, it was hands down one of the best food experiences I’ve ever had. It was great to explore traditional Mexican food and I really wasn’t sure what to expect, but flavours were heavenly. We ordered: 2 x prawn and scallop tostadas - they’re quite a generous size as a starter for each person. 1 x totopos to share - great if you like guacamole plus a nice kick of grilled onions 1 x volcan de pulpo with octopus - this was also perfect to share. The octopus was incredibly tender, but the small unassuming cup of consome was the star - slightly spicy yet refreshing with every little sip. As a non-drinker, I also loved the Horchata drink - I could down a litre of that easily and still want more. Great vibes for a Saturday night. Wonderful service, everyone was super lovely and took the time to give us recos. Really can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu.

We had lunch here The food is not Tex mex, it is very authentic Mexican food. I highly recommend this place. They also really put effort into their drinks menu - we had a coconut and panda margarita and two horchatas (simply amazing). We got the chicken mole - it was spectacular however there was an issue with the dish. Sadly we weren’t able to finish it. But props to the handling by the staff of this. I was so impressed by the food I recommended it to family and decided they deserved a review

Such a great experience ! The dishes are both beautiful and tasty (and with just the right amount of spice). With a caring and smiley staff. A place with overall a lot of good vibes. I’ll be back !

I visited this restaurant yesterday and it was such a unique experience for my palate. I tried Mexican dishes I had never tasted before, and each one was a delicious surprise. The cocktails were also amazing. The service was very friendly and the atmosphere cozy. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for something authentic.

This place is amazing ! All the food is gluten free, even the desserts, you have plenty of vegetarian options, and last but not least the drinks taste sooo good! Apart from all of that they have a different menu for Tuesday and a different one for Saturday morning ! Have been there a couple of times and I definitely would recommend this place ! Also the service is fantastic !

Extremely authentic Mexican food! Wow — it felt like being in Mexico with extremely delicious salsas + beautifully cooked steak. I love to order the TLACOYO DIVORCIADO + STEAK. There is a bean-filled + stuffed tortilla at the base with a layer of eggs and steak. It is to DIE FOR! The staff here are super happy and willing to make you feel comfortable which is what I love about a dining experience like this. Domi, the manager is always super friendly and the bartender, he is so awesome!! Their menu is different on the weekends vs the nights. Come during both times to get two different experiences!!!! Thank you!!!!
