Tequila Mockingbird - Paddington

My gfs and I had our first catch up in ages here at Tequila Mockingbird and it did not disappoint. This restaurant has been on my list for ages and it was a good opportunity to eat good Mexican and celebrate our birthdays.<br/ <br/ As it is only a 1.5 hour seating with a set menu. We did feel rushed but we knew this was a requirement. Luckily i am a fast eater! We had help with our server who guided us what was good and we all enjoyed everything we ordered. The cauliflower was so addictive. Loved its thin batter! Wagyu and chicken were both tasty and we all ordered a cocktail and shared a bottle of rose. <br/ <br/ It was a good night out and I would definitely come back.

Really nice place with a great atmosphere. We went with a group of 4 and shared a whole heap of starters and mains. The starters were really nice with the kingfish tiradito, mixed mushroom tacos and soft shell crab tacos being standouts but they were all pretty good.<br/ <br/ However the mains were a let down with the wagyu steak being pretty tough and chewy and the charcoal chicken being pretty plain. The kindler potatoes had an overpowering tandoori flavour to it and didn’t go down well. We did have a tonne of mojitos and they went down a treat and were pretty nice.<br/ <br/ Shame about the main because if they were standard of the starters then this place would have been brilliant, but still good overall.

So yummy! Love the food, especially the soft shell crab taco.. and the cocktails are divine! Can’t wait to go back!

Latin American food in Paddington. Officially the best eats I’ve ever had in Paddington is Tequila Mockingbird. It may be a bold statement, but I encourage you to try for yourself. Every dish was refreshing, vibrant, energetic and extremely flavourful. Least to say, Chef Jon Is a culinary genius.

(4.5 stars)<br/ It’s hard to know where to begin with Tequila Mockingbird, because this spot does a lot of things well. The restaurant is named, not for the fabulous figurine Maxwell Smart and Agent 99 set off to Mexico to recover, but, in an apparent moment of synchronicity, when owner Michael Fegent drew his own inspiration directly from Harper Lee’s book, To Kill A Mockingbird. Fegent also drew inspiration from his travels across South America and Mexico to come up with a menu and setting that takes you on an epic road trip, all without leaving Paddington. You'll find his resulting restaurant arranged across three levels of a heritage-listed 1898 terrace that's been delicately updated by Luchetti Krelle to softly reflect the journey you'll be taking. Now, if we’re going...
