Of course you're going to be put outside when you book for 530 people.

Mate has been raving for ages about Fishead (Malaysian and Indian cuisine) on Morphett St, so today a group of us went along, 6 adults in total and it didn't disappoint on any front.

Started with several entrees to share including Bug Tails, Satay's (Chicken and Veal), an awesome salad (Mandarin, Pineapple, Avacado), Fish Cakes and Pork Belly. All were outstanding and one of us may have even licked the plate.

Mains at the table consisted of Barra, Beef Cheeks, Rendang Beef and twice cooked Duck with rice and Garlic Naan bread. All were plentiful and freakin awesome.

All bar myself were drinking beers and wines then a few cocktails that were awesome, and their version of Crepes with Coconut Ice Cream was exceptiona too.

Venue good, staff excellent, bill came to around $90 per person.

Honestly couldn't recommend this place highly enough, was a genuine treat to the tastebuds and I'd rate it about 9.5/10, the highest I've ever given.

If you're in the northern suburbs and up for some authentic Mexican food then you need to go to Taco Quetzalcoatl (pronounced 'ket-sal-ko-ah-tl'). We went there on Saturday night based on a recommendation from a work colleague of my wife, and it was fantastic.

The 'restaurant' is nothing spectacular, its more like you're eating/ordering in someone's kitchen, but Margarita (the proprietor and chef) is from Mexico and is a dab hand at making the genuine article. We had a take-away order of a burrito, a huarache, and a serve of nachos that were massive. Each dish was very tasty, and at $10 each was pretty good value. Plus they serve some of those wacky Mexican soft drinks, and also sell some hot sauces too.

8 out of 10. Highly recommended.

Duck Inn at Coro Valley yesterday, hadn't been there for a feed for a few years, new decking makes its very pleasant place on a Sunday arvo/evening.

We all went the basic snitty which was top notch, good size servings and chips even had good taste and well cooked. Some effort was put into the salad also which is always a surprise.

Nice to have a decent pub to go to not far from home.

Most importantly, were chips to the side?

Yes and no, some surprise chips found under the parmi, no sure if it was deliberate or not so happy to give them the benefit of the doubt in this case as majority were on the side

After @Magellan's great review, Mrs. Creation and I ventured to Taco Quetzalcoatl last night for a birthday/wedding anniversary dinner.

We each ordered a tamale (mine was pork, hers was chicken), and they were bloody delicious. Off to a good start, me thinks.

I decided a burrito was the go, and it was on par with any burrito I had in Los Angeles. The pork was perfectly seasoned and the bean paste was flavourful but not overpowering. Mrs. Creation had the flautas, and was quite pleased. We washed the meal down with a couple of Cokes.

All up, we paid $32.90, so it was very affordable, as well as delightfully tasty. We'll be back there within a couple of weeks.

8/10.

Glad you checked it out and dug it. It's great to be part of an immigrant-small business success story.

Thanks for the tip!

We'd never have heard about the place without your review.

Pretty sure I’ll be going there for lunch some time this week, keen to check it out given the reviews on here

On Saturday night we checked out Hispanic Mechanic on Glen Osmond Road. http://hispanicmechanic.com.au/

I gotta say from the outset, this place provides absolutely top flight Latino fare. We had a banquet deal, $49 each which consisted of the following:

MASTER KIMS 5 STAR WINGS . . . . . . . . .

traditional sponge 3 milk cake w caramelised bananas
CORN CAKE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
venezuelan flourless corn cake

Plus we got stuck into some tasty sangria, and they had some yummy Mexican beers (including the Ocho Reales Imperial Ale, 6.2%, very tasty). Needless to say we were stuffed to the gills at the end. Probably came to about $90 each, but worth it because there was no dish on that menu that wasn't flavorful and a delight to taste - the brisket in particular melted in your mouth.

Highly recommended. We sat outside at the front, which was an accidental stroke of genius given Saturday night was quite warm. Inside the restaurant was very, very noisy given there were lots of diners and plenty of hard surfaces which would not have been as enjoyable an experience, so bear that in mind of you do think about heading along. Service from the staff was excellent as well.

9/10.

On Saturday afternoon I went to The Cremorne in Unley.

Had the handmade gnocchi with basil pesto, cherry tomatoes and olive oil. Absolutely cracking dish.

Gnocchi was perfectly portioned, the flavour combination of the olive oil, basil and tomatoes was simple yet effective, and the dish was topped off with a tempura three cheese zucchini flower. I am not usually a big zucchini eater and thought the addition of tempura battered cheese was interesting, but this too was delicious. My only criticism of the dish was the amount of olive oil, which slightly overpowered the cherry tomatoes, being the flavour I was hoping to be the most prominent.

A majority of the guests on our table ordered Chicken Parmy’s, which were adequate in size. Chips on the side which I was floored by, golden in texture and by all reports, crunchy. I tried a small piece of the schnitzel, and the chicken itself was not processed, which is a huge win in my books. Salt and Pepper squid was the only other dish ordered, and from all reports that was a cracker, too.

Being from the North/North East, I rarely venture to the south of the city, but i'll be headed back here for sure.

8.5/10

Valleys next to you go have the ribs with homemade baked beans. Delightful

Went to the Rose Garden again last night, never disappoints especially after a session at the Reepham. Bill for 4 of us came to $132.40 including many drinks, entrees, main course, and the lovely guy who runs the place rounded it down to $120. Food was awesome. Great value. 9.9/10.

I went to the British Hotel for a family dinner last night and was reasonably impressed. I think I remember eating there once before. Their were 12 of us, from memory a few had steaks, a few had battered fish, couple of salads and I had a steak sandwich. It was really nice, while all the other meals were presented well and everyone seemed happy with their meals. We were the only people in there after smaller group left as we got there which ment the wait time wasn't very long at all. Their Garlic bread as our starter was really good aswell.

The British hotel is a decent, well present pub that produces decent pub food, 7.5/10.
