How we read reviews →Smith St cantina famed for legendary margaritas, generous tacos and a rowdy Collingwood night out.
Vibrant Mexican cantina decor with lounge-house music turned up loud, a 1950s-diner-meets-Mexico feel, and buzzing Smith St energy.
A chef's selection tasting menu (around $55-65pp), regular bottomless brunch sessions, and an extensive tequila, mezcal and cocktail list.
Praised by Spanish-speaking reviewers as genuinely authentic, though one long-time regular noted the menu has shifted toward simpler tacos and away from the more creative traditional mains it once served.
The chef's selection is seen as good value, but undisclosed weekend surcharges and extra charges frustrate some diners.
