Ask a Coastie what their favourite cuisine is, and dare we say Mexican will often be at the top of that list. What makes this flavoursome, colourful food so beloved? Perhaps its the variety it allows, or the spices. Or rather, maybe its the fact that when paired with a crisp margarita or ice cold cerveza, you really do have a party in your mouth. Here’s our top picks for Mexican on the Central Coast.

Exploring the flavours of South America with a Mexican twist, this 2-time local business award-winning gem is out to provide all culinary enthusiasts with the best tapas, tacos and cocktails out (as well as some delicious treats.) Check out their mouth-watering menu and make an online booking here.
Mexicoast Cantina, Toukley
Having moved from Terrigal to Toukley, the two couples behind Mexicoast Cantina have been a part of this region for decades and have since become a huge success in their new ‘hood.

There’s also plenty of options for vegetarians and even vegans.

Los Dos Hombres, The Entrance
The Entrance is host to many Mexican restaurants so it’s no wonder people flock there to get their fix. Los Dos Hombres is located near the foreshore and is a favourite for locals and visitors alike. The best bit about this spot is that it is kid-friendly. The fajitas are mighty, and you’ll most definitely be looking for a doggy bag. Found right in the heart of The Entrance, near the foreshore.
