Nestled in the buzzing Paddington Five Ways, you’ll find Tequila Mockingbird in a heritage-listed, converted 1898 terrace. There are three unique spaces to dine in, each with their own special character and atmosphere.There’s a whole lot more to Latin food than burritos and fajitas. It’s actually a wide range of food, all the way from Mexico to Argentina. A unique blend of Mayan, Aztec, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, and Afro Caribbean flavours, Latin American food is diverse, unexpected, and most importantly, delicious!If you love a great cocktail with your meal, you may have found your new favourite restaurant. With over 32 types of premium tequilas, 12 top-quality mezcals, and a generous range of piscos, your Latin American journey doesn’t stop at the food.But beyond the great food and great drinks, is the vibe the team brings. Tequila Mockingbird has created a fun, personal atmosphere that reflects the spirit and life of Latin America.

Had a table of nine ladies there for a fun girls night. Waiter didn’t provide menus rather reeled off what was on the set menu despite several allergies and vegetarians present. Took drink orders after I got his attention several times, and even then stood at one end of the table and didn’t note them properly or go around to each person, so he said I’ll put these through and come back for the rest. He didn’t come back for ages so there were three thirsty women waiting a long time for a cocktail. Won’t be back.

Absolutely love this place and am a regular. However, last experience wasn’t as good as usual ☹️ Very slow service meant a very, very late night. Also, being forced to choose either a 6.30 or 8.30 sitting on weekends is not ideal.

Meeting friends for midweek dinner, we were really looked after. Food is delicious, cocktails superb and staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We shared ceviche tacos, soft shell crab tacos, zucchini nachos, Barramundi and chicken. All full of flavour. Their tequila list is impressive. We will definitely return.
