With its leafy courtyard and party atmosphere, this seaside diner offers some of the best contemporary Mexican fare in Perth.
There’s no denying, this is the place to be on a hot summer’s night. In fact, most evenings you’ll find a line of punters waiting a short time to be sat between twinkling festoon lights, sipping spicy margaritas. Chatty staff in bright party shirts and cut-off jeans mingle, the pulse of disco house dissipating into the salty sea air. The food is darn good, too. Think ceviche of locally caught fish (this is Freo after all) in a refreshing mix of cucumber, rockmelon, dill and sesame seeds, with crunchy tostadas on the side for scooping. Watermelon crudo, delicately spiced and roasted until it takes on the consistency of the finest tuna, comes with vegan cashew sour cream and mustard chimichurri. West Australian prawns are the draw with Quesadilla de Cameron, a piquant mix of chipotle spice and jalapeño mayo against a fresh salsa verde. An essential ingredient can’t be forgotten; inventive cocktails, micheladas and a solid roster of tequilas and mezcal keep the good times rolling.
