HONCHO

Mansfield's elevated Mexican destination restaurant famed for creative tacos and cocktails

Sophisticated yet warm destination-restaurant energy - moody lighting, wide booths, background music and a buzzing bar - pitched well above typical country-town dining.

House tasting/set menus ($60-65pp), an extensive mezcal and cocktail list with thoughtful non-alcoholic mocktails, wide comfortable booth seating, and weekly Taco Thursday specials.

Reviewers debate whether it's 'authentic' or 'Mexican fusion'; several argue the cooking is closer to true Mexican technique than venues that only claim the label, blended with modern share-plate presentation.

The $60-65pp set menus are widely seen as excellent value for the quality and quantity, though a handful of reviewers flag a weekend surcharge and higher share-plate pricing as a sour note.
