I tend to love the vibe and decor at Mexican restaurants. They are usually colourful, with a bar-like, fun atmosphere. Calaveras was no different. Great place for drinks and winding down after a long week.
To share, we ordered the guacamole, some tacos and the beef fajita. Guacamole was fresh and a great starter. I would have happily eaten a whole serving (or 2) on my own. The plates of tacos came next, with a mix of pulled pork, chicken and fish; and I couldn't help notice that the tacos were very small. Anyway, taste wise, they were decent, but were not excellent either. They all seemed to taste the same from the red sauce. They were spicy, but lacked those Mexican flavours i was after. T...

Been here twice. First time was decent, second time was appalling.
Atmosphere: great decor, ornamental skulls, sombreros, tap water served in tequila bottles - overall awesome
Food: nice plating, great tasting, small servings.
Price: what you'd expect at a typical place in Newtown - not too pricey, but not the cheapest
Now the waiting time and service - well that was disappointing for me. Generally I'd expect to wait 20 mins max for food to come out. First time it was so. Second time we waited 40 minutes, food hadn't come yet.
I ordered a starter dish, I pointed to it on the menu, read it aloud, and asked to clarify "will the feta be sprinkled on top of the beans". After all that, I was...
Tiendo a amar la atmósfera y la decoración en restaurantes mexicanos. Por lo general, son coloridos, con un ambiente divertido, divertido. Calaveras no era diferente. Gran lugar para bebidas y devanado después de una larga semana.

Para compartir, pedimos el guacamole, algunos tacos y la carne de res Fajita. El guacamole era fresco y un gran abridor. Me hubiera gustado servir a un todo (o 2) solo. Las placas de tacos vinieron a continuación con una mezcla de carne de cerdo, pollo y pescado tirados; Y no pude evitar los tacos muy pequeños. De todos modos, de gusto, eran decentes, pero no fueron excelentes. Todos parecían crear lo mismo de la salsa roja. Eran picantes, pero carecían de e...

Found the atmosphere to be cool. Decent drinks. Myself and a few friends ordered the enchiladas Rojas. They looked nice but tasted like dog food. I thought it was just me but the others disliked it too. The serving size was too small but perhaps that is for the best. Disappointing.
Calaveras has a great ambience. So gorgeous on the inside but the food is actually appalling. Enchiladas are bland, four people on my table didn't finish their's. Pretty sure the chicken is the one from the tin. So shocked at how bad the food is... such a shame

Este lugar tiene un potencial tal que la atmósfera es bastante funky. Sin embargo, debe mejorar el servicio y la calidad de los alimentos lo más rápido posible. ✌ @ FoodiesGuideTosydney.

This place has such potential as the atmosphere is pretty funky. However, they need to improve on the service and quality of the food asap. ✌@foodiesguidetosydney
