Decent, reasonable price - Edit
We didn't book and got seated at a shared table on a Monday evening. I had the eggplant taco as a bowl and the eggplant itself was lovely and crispy, the rest of the bowl was quite basic.

Good Bad Hombres - Edit
Animal free Mexican cuisine. It was nice to order anything from the menu without thinking if there is animal products in them. Service was abit slow though. Would definitely be back!

Nachos for the win - Edit
Nachos were fantastic! Tacos were great. Really enjoyed my dragonfruit beverage. Would love to go back & try more of the menu.
Read moreOnly given 4 stars due to being denied a drink, also nachos were served before beverages were delivered - they were cocktails but would have liked drinks first. It felt like they wanted us out of there.
Pros: Loved the options we tried, Atmosphere was great, Good tunes
Cons: Slow drinks service

Expensive for what it is - Edit
I went solo & it was pricey for what you got. The food was really good & flavoursome but deffo could’ve eaten more. Maybe that’s my mistake. Would go again but in a group so you can order more and share.

Good vibes, excellent food - Edit
We were sat at the bar as we hadn’t booked, then moved to a table as soon as one was free.
Read moreHad the “tuna” tostadas, quesadilla and skewer. All delicious. Staff were great and the tunes were good too.
Highly suggest making a booking as even a Wednesday night was busy. #Veganuary
Pros: All vegan, Good atmosphere , Tasty, non trad Mexican choices

Taco Tuesday! Amazing vegan tacos! Arrived in Sydney. Dropped bags off and went straight there. With only 15 mins left till the kitchen closed. We tried them all. So delicious! Cool decor, Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Underwhelming - Edit
Came for dinner, first thing we noticed walking into the restaurant was a stong smell that reminded us of cleaning products used in public restrooms. Aside from that, the restaurant has a cool vibe and I could see it being a good place to come with a group for drinks.
Read moreFood was 3/5, not terrible but not great. We had Tuna Tostada, an Asada Skewer and some Tacos. The consommé that came with the Birria tacos was really good, but the fable meat was a bit dry.
Bottom line: go to Vandal if you are wanting some good Mexican food.

Taco Tequila Tuesday - Edit
$12 taco Tuesday! And boy are these Tacos fire. Took two non vegan friends here and both said these are better than any tacos they’ve had with meat in. Their cocktails are incredible too. And they actually know how to cook Eggplant.

Taco Tuesday - Yay! - Edit
Lovely welcoming and helpful staff. Had just arrived in Sydney from Melbourne and found this place via Happy Cow, a short walk from my accommodation. Decided on the Taco Tuesday special and tried Chipotle Potato
Read morew/ Salsa Verde, Coriander & Onion; Miso Eggplant
w/ Pineapple Habanero Salsa & Miso Caramel; and, Jackfruit Tinga
w/ Red Cabbage, Chipotle Mayo, Pickled Onion & Coriander. All packed a flavour punch. Jackfruit Tinga cleared my sinuses (in a good way), the Eggplant miso was a delicious surprise, but my favourite was Chipotle Potato. Really fresh and tasty food.
Pros: Tasty Mexican , Cool ambience , Good service

Great Mexican food - Edit
I had an eggplant taco and a mushroom taco, as well as nachos. The tacos had really great flavours, particularly the eggplant one, and the nachos were good but didn't blow me away

Soggy and expensive - Edit
This restaurant was recommended to me by a local, I was really excited to go. Usually I don't mind paying more if it's great food, but I was quite disappointed. My tacos were really soggy and it's very expensive for what you get. Taste-wise it was good but not great. Quesadilla was yummy but again, not worth $13. It's a shame because staff members are friendly and the atmosphere is cool. I wouldn't recommend coming out of the way for it though.

Incredible Mexican food! - Edit
Bad Hombres serves the best and most authentic Mexican food I’ve had. The Nachos are the best I’ve ever had with an incredible cashew cream. The tacos are also packed full of flavour!

Meh. - Edit
One of the tacos we had was fantastic. The other two completely forgettable. All good came out barely warm, we tried to get someone’s attention to send back to reheat but no one was paying attention (despite the fact that it wasn’t very busy).
Read moreThe really good taco was the miso eggplant (would have been REALLY good if it was actually hot!).
We also tried the quesadilla and it was just okay.
Overall, worth it for their taco Tuesday special but wouldn’t bother otherwise.
