We found an excuse to head back to Karingal Hub to watch a movie, and made sure to coincide it with dinner time albeit a little early (4:30pm) haha. Third time here and always trying to find a way to get back. The ambience is great, the staff are all excellent, the kitchen KNOWS HOW TO COOK real Mexican food, every plate that comes out is divine with impeccable flavour and taste. We ordered two entrees and one main to share and we literally struggled to finish, so filling, so satisfied. Keep up the great work team, we'll be back!

Loved this place! Is this Frankston’s best kept secret? Going to attend the Trivia Night soon. Big fan of the steak (perfectly cooked) and nom nom nom to the sardine entree. Thinking I’ve found my True Local.
