Where do I start - Mexican at its best. Breakfast was at another level. It was light; full of flavour and simply divine. The servings were balanced and generous. The sittings arrangements are well placed and the staff was great. Certainly won’t be our last visit whenever we are back to Kiama. It’s must for anyone who comes to Kiama for breakfast.

Had a delicious all day breakfast lunch and everyone’s meals were delicious. Best bacon and egg roll in years. The Prosecco I ordered wasn’t bubbling and he had opened a whole fresh bottle even though the first was a fresh bottle and he didn’t let me pay for the extra one even when I could see it was pretty much the way that brand must look. Lovely people, lovely place & delicious food!

What a beautiful place! The service was great, the atmosphere was welcoming and bright. We had breakfast on our last morning in Kiama before heading home. My husband had the Eggs Benedict and I had the avocado smash. The food was well presented and tasted good. We will definitely be back on our next trip!

Definitely filling the night time loss of El Corazon for Kiama ... and was super happy to have our favourite waitperson Tom from El C running the night time dining ... and great service as usual from him! Specials nights are available like at old El C so yay steak night is go! Had heard they were going to open nights and so glad that they have! Very clean and nice environment and great service.

My family and I had lunch at Frida’s Cantina. The menu was so fabulous that we decided to order a few different meals to share so we could taste a variety. Oh. My. Goodness. The food was fresh, tasty, and presented beautifully. We had the birria beef tacos, the burrito bowl, the nachos, plus the queso dip and wings. The iced mocha. All absolutely spectacular! Highly recommend you getting your Mexican food and drinks dose here, yum!
