The Merivale group took over the Excelsior in 2011, installing El Loco out the back and turning out good times and great tacos ever since. The palm-sized beef, pork and chicken tacos are fat with flavour and grilled marinated meats. Tempt fate and your tastebuds with the secret taco - containing ingredients only the kitchen team know. Service is super-fast whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or settling in for a decent fiesta. With sugar-skull motifs on the walls, pinata-festooned rafters and more than 20 types of tequila, it's the type of party Frida Kahlo would have loved.
