Izote Mexican

@ 6 King Street, Newtown

Closer to the Sydney Uni end of things is this Mexican gem. Now, you can choose to go to Guzman Ye Gomez to fulfil them Mexicano cravings of yours or you can sit your pretty little bum down in Izote Mexican and give your tastebuds a real treat.

The servings here are substantial, neither of us finished our dishes. We each chose an burrito and it was packed with all the good stuff including beans and guacamole. The place was quite packed and though we sat at the front, we could see there was an enticing looking courtyard out back that will definitely have to be scouted out next I visit.

Each of our burittos set us back nearly $20 - a bit steep for Mexican compared to Guzman so be warned. If cheap is what you're after, head for the yellow sign further down the road. But if a good atmosphere, lovely service, hearty Mexican meal and night out is what you're seeking, go the extra mile (three or so blocks) and try this one out for size.
