Tommy's is a Mexican restaurant & cocktail bar in the heart of Darlinghurst, with a passion for Mexican/South American cuisine and agave spirits. In the kitchen we cook over charcoals on our traditional Parrilla charcoal grill to enhance the flavours of the food. Behind the bar we focus on freshness: every juice is freshly squeezed daily and every syrup & cordial made in house creating s truly unique list of margaritas and tequila & mezcal based cocktails.

Head Chef: Marcus Michel has carefully curated our versatile menu. From 8hr slow roasted lamb shoulder tacos to tuna ceviche to MB2+ Ribeye cooked over charcoals, it combines authentic Mexican flavours with fresh, locally sourced ingredients to provide a truly unforgettable experience.

This is my second visit to Tommy’s and we were very disappointed. The menu changed and it was terrible. The $75 banquet was so expensive considering you get 1 tiny entree 1 tiny average taco The corn ribs and the steak are charged extra The potato is also an extra The tortillas are extra The ceviche is also extra And then they force you to eat dessert but won’t give you a a savoury option to swap it for. WTH? We paid close to $400 and walked out hungry and disappointed. The noise level was awful too. Everyone was drunk. If you want to get plastered Tommy’s is for you. If you expect a decent meal for your money go somewhere else. Absolutely awful Bring back your old menus Tommy’s And how about you make more generous servings? You have become too overpriced and your food is below average. I’ve eaten tastier dishes in my local Cafe.

Hey Gabi! We are sorry to hear about your experience with us. Our new build your own banquet menu is actually bigger than our previous banquet menu. Guac and chips for the table, choose your starter, choose your taco, choose your main, choose your side ( potatoes arent extra if you choose them as your side) and finishes off with dessert. We have the options to add extras and upgrade to the steak which is a higher quality cut than our previous steak. There is also the option to upgrade to the tomahawk! The build your own banquet has been very popular, people enjoy themselves at Tommy's and thats the way we like it. I must try your local cafe!

Not sure if there what is a change in ownership but the food was highly disappointing. Nothing like what I had previously experienced. The environment was so loud I couldn’t even hear my own thoughts and the staff seem to hurry everyone along very quickly so I didn’t feel like we could enjoy the experience.

Restaurant didn't read booking nor respond to phone call or text. You're steered towards the set menu which is expensive for what you get. Spicy margarita is regular with hot sauce. I'll go nextdoor next time.

Great value and great quality dishes! I was convinced by my friends to get the sirloin for the table, and I'm glad because it was cooked to perfection. Also recommend adding the ceviche which we loved 😋 Bottomless margs were also a hit!

We went for the “build your own banquet” deal and opted for drinks package as well. Despite being busy, the staff were very attentive and very helpful when it came to choosing the dishes. The food was delicious. However, we felt like the portions for the main dish and taco were quite small. We were still hungry after we left. For $69pp for the banquet, we were not satisfied by the value. The margaritas were yummy, but after drinking so many, we were wondering if they were watered down as we didn’t really feel the effects. All in all, it was a good experience, but we probably won’t go back.
