TAKO @ Hamilton ISland - WHITSUNDAYS

A popular Mexican joint in the Hamilton Island marina.

In Hamilton island there are not many places that are reasonably priced and if there is it's not usually anything to race about.

After living in San Francisco for a year and learning to love Mexican food, plus finding out that TAKO had only opened a couple of days ago and arriving at

Arrived around half 8 and were told they stopped serving at 9. Restaurant was dead but had a short wait for a table. Ordered cocktails - very nice. Went to our table and were told someone will explain how the menu works. We waited but the next person who came over just asked for our order so we had to say it hadn't been explained. We love Mexican so didnt take long to order and the food came quick. However food- not nice! Reef fish was, as someone has already said, horrible and couldn't be finished. It was cold and seemed undercooked. The meat dish we ordered was also cold and the nachos had a slight burnt taste. While eating we were asked twice if we would like to order dessert in advance as kitchen was closing, and the restaurant packed up around us. We expressed our disappointment to the manager at the time and he said he would have a word with the staff. So disappointing for a luxury island!

Recommend TAKO. Good mexican food and great speedy service. We enjoyed the mayan chicken, beef taco, corn chips topped off with churros.
