Frequently Asked Questions

Can you cater for special dietary requirements?

We can cater to all special dietary requirements and our team are passionate about providing guests with special dietary requirements with an equitable and memorable experience. For group menu bookings, dietary requirements are required seven (7) days prior to your event.

Whilst we take the highest care in providing all guests dietary requirements, products such as eggs, gluten, nuts, dairy, pork etc. are used throughout our kitchen and we cannot guarantee that all products that are used will not cause cross-contamination with the guest’s dietary needs.

Is your venue weather dependent?

We are an outdoor alfresco restaurant that is affected by the rain. However, we do have limited undercover seating available. Should heavy rain be forecasted, keep an eye out on our social media for updates or give us a ring on (07) 3188 9090.

La Mexicana is predominately a walk-in venue only. However, if you’d like to join us as group of 15 or larger, please feel free to contact our team to discuss our group menu options for a booking.
