Server Tanu was great and more than happy to help with special requests. She was always smiling and eager to make sure we were looked after. A great atmosphere. Food was liked by all four of us and we all had different dishes and desserts. We’ll be back for sure.

So yummmm!! Drinks and food were delicious and well portioned. I liked the shell/tortilla, it was a surprisingly nice texture. Food came out quickly and the staff was attentive and nice. Definitely my favorite resturant I’ve tried in Cairns.

I dined here a few days ago with my boyfriend, and it has definitely become one of my favourite spots in Cairns for dinner or any occasion. The food is truly delicious—some of my favourite dishes were the Smokey Corn Ribs, Roast Chicken, and Birria Pork Taco. Chef Nicolas creates incredibly authentic flavours, and you can really taste Mexico in every bite. On top of that, the service from Davy was not just 5-star, but 10-star, and the attentive service with a beautiful smile from Eno was fantastic. The Boulevardier from bartender Francisco was also amazing! I’ll definitely be back.

We absolutely loved the experience. From the custumer service , to the food and drinks and the atmosphere in general. Will definitely be back again soon!! My fav was the fish tacos Vegetarian options: Loved the cauliflower taco option.

Good food, exceptional dishes. Pretty and well-dished. The texture and flavour balances were good. However, restaurant was very crowded and noisy, because the tables are close enough that you will be touching a stranger. Prices are standard for the economy we live in.

Calaveras Street blends the bold flavours of Korean and Mexican cuisines seamlessly, offering a dining experience that's both exciting and satisfying. Their tacos and burritos are a standout, packed with juicy meat and complemented perfectly by fresh, tangy salsa. The quesadillas are a must-try, gooey cheese in every bite. The restaurant's vibrant decor and upbeat atmosphere create a fun, energetic vibe that enhances the brunch & dining experience. Service is attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall enjoyment. Whether you're a fan of Korean food, Mexican cuisine, or simply love inventive fusion dishes, Calaveras Street Cairns delivers with every dish. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore new flavours! P.s. Jalapeno Poppers and 1kg of Mexican & Korean Wings.

The Mex-Kor wings are the best wings you could possibly eat, perfect amount of spice, crunchy and with the side of sour cream, perfection. The service is very homey and welcoming and food is incredibly tasty, we went more than once within a week. Highly recommend the Jalepeno poppers, Korean hot dog, stir fry, Korean burrito and all the taco flavours. Perfect place to try something different.

Awesome place for lunch with a great menu of really well done meals. Fried chicken burger was great, chips are nice and well seasoned. Plenty of good options on the menu, great staff, quick service, and convenient location.
