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

When I was passing this restaurant, it was always busy. So I had high expectations to go there (of course I needed booking in advance), and they met my expectations! The people were so nice and friendly, the food was fresh, and tasty. And there are many gluten free options, so I can bring our family who can't take gluten, that's amazing.

personal favourite was the coconut horchata! One of the best I’ve ever had! Started with the cornbroth which was unique and very delicious and well seasoned. We also ordered the ceviche with fruits which was phenomenal. The citrus really made it so refreshing. We ordered the tamales as our main and our favourite was the macadamia sauce over the cocoa sauce.

The mole was the star of the show - rich, complex, and incredibly satisfying. But the rest of the menu didn't disappoint either. The Tlayuda was full of flavour. Our waitress was a friendly offering helpful suggestions and ensuring we had a great dining experience. This has quickly become our favourite Mexican restaurant in Sydney.

Me n my husband went there on a Friday night. It's a busy little restaurant. We tried there Picante, Caso Cerrado, Tostada De Callo De Hacha, Huarache De Cachete. Food was okay, bit expensive. Their Picante (spicy margarita) is 10/10, must try if you can handle spice 🌶.
