Mexican$$

El Loco’s fast and fun take on Mexican has made it a flashpoint in the battle for seats raging in Surry Hills each weekend. Once in, choose between the long, loud tables inside or nab a spot outdoors among giant pot plants and cactuses. Grab a serve of corn chips with guacamole (the best in town?) and salsa, while you peruse the Asian-influenced menu. The tacos are the stars, particularly the lemongrass beef and the spit-roasted pork with pineapple salsa. Grated cheddar and sour cream is verboten, but cheese fans flock to the hot dogs and the salad, both piled high with finely grated queso fresco.
