La Quinta Mexican

Been a customer for many years and rated this my top Mexican in Brisbane. Today I noticed the menu was different but was excited to try some new things so got 4 different tacos and entree to share between two (plus a kids meal). Seems like the prices have gone up but the portion have gone down which doesn't bother me if the food is great. The sandcrab entree wasn't a great start, kinda like the tuna you get in sushi it was mushy without much flavour. The tacos were hit and miss. The pork one was great, nice flavours and textures. The chicken and fish both a bit boring. The pulled beef was flavoursome but hardly any toppings to mix up the texture, all mushy. Considering the menu makes the tacos out to have big exciting flavours they were a let down especially for the price. The hot sauce was amazing though as was the staff who are always super friendly.

We were quickly greeted and ushered to our table by their friendly staff. We started off with our entree the Buffalo Wings with Blue cheese dip. The Wings were cooked to perfection. The dip was creamy and smooth. We also had their Chef special the Prawn taco. The prawn was fresh and juicy and the taco was freshly cooked. For main we the the Chimichuri Pulled Beef with rice and sour cream. The beef was so tender full of flavour. It was a joy to eat. My husband had the Chicken Quesadilla big servings and full of flavour. This definitely the best Mexican dish I've had in Queensland . The flavours were consistent. For dessert we had churros with caramel dip and ice cream. The churros were perfectly cooked but found it too sweet luckily there was ice cream included. Overall, a great dining experience. Staff were extremely helpful and efficient. Thank you definitely recommending this to our family and friends. 👍👍👍⭐⭐🥰

Update! Finally, I could try the new menu 💪 5/5. New nachos version, beef fajitas, and the best margarita Brisbane can have! The new guacamole version was fantastic. The fresh ingredients gave it a crispy texture, and you have to try it! It had more flavor and better presentation. You will want more! I strongly recommend you to try the beef fajitas, not only because they look great much better, they tasted amazing 🤤. I have to ratify that La Quinta has the best margaritas in Brisbane, and the lychee margarita wasn’t the exception!

Sangria and nachos to kick off a bday celebration. This place has not changed a bit and while it’s good to be constant, it would be nice to see a tweak in decor and style. This time we weren’t there for dinner, which was just as well as a couple of vege options were unavailable. Regardless, you don’t exist 16 years without doing something right. We look forward to coming back again.
