PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIA
Pssst, amigos! Ride on in to the fantastically flamboyant Fiesta on Oxford for a spicy kick of finger-lickin good Mexican. This buzzing cantina of Mexican delights was opened 27 years ago by sisters Jan and Vicki Forsyth and has since become a bustling Bondi Junction favourite. Dripping with a quirky array of knick-knacks, the vibrant and colourful dining room is an eclectic jumble of Mexican artefacts, sure to keep the kids amused until their meals arrive. The restaurant’s tables, booths and communal benches fill with locals seven nights a week, creating a fun and jolly atmosphere. For those on a budget, this is a good value haven of authentic Mexican fare and darn good margaritas.

Fiesta on Oxford prides itself on dishing up all the usual Mexican favourites plus a few modern additions. Boasting hand-made tortillas, oven-baked nachos and fresh house-made chilli sauce, the Fiesta kitchen is the real deal. Tuck into a delicious burrito or enchilada, with your preferred level of chilli, and discover why Fiesta has gained so many loyal followers over the past two-and-a-half decades. Those after lighter fare or seafood and vegetarian options will find more than enough to please, and the little amigos will also be well satisfied. Retire to the cocktail lounge post-meal for a sip of Spanish sangria or a Mexican beer.

DETAILS
Fiesta on Oxford was opened 27 years ago by two sisters, Jan and Vicki Forsyth. It is a colourful, fun restaurant with Mexican artifacts hanging from the ceilings and the walls – plenty to keep the eyes occupied. The atmosphere is buzzy and upbeat. Single tables, booths and long communal tables cater to groups of all sizes. Latin waitstaff offer relaxed, friendly service and great food and drink suggestions. Fiesta on Oxford is open seven nights a week for eat in and take away.

FOOD
Fiesta on Oxford offers all the traditional Mexican favourites plus some modern Mexican cuisine, with lots of seafood and vegetarian options. Food is served mild, with chilli of varying strength available to suit individual tastes. The meals are prepared traditionally with no corners cut, meaning the tortillas are handmade, the nachos are baked in the oven and the house chilli sauce is made fresh. There are kids options available, and lighter meals like smoked salmon sincros for those who find regular Mexican food too filling. There’s a lot of choice, so don’t be afraid to ask your waiter for advice.

BEVERAGE
Fiesta on Oxford has a substantial drinks list filled with imported and specially sourced tequilas and beers not found anywhere else. Try some Spanish sangria or a Brazilian caipirinha, or one of the many margheritas that are the restaurant’s speciality. There is also BYO available for wine only.

FUNCTIONS
Perfect for a celebration, a separate dining room and cocktail lounge is available for functions and private dining. Set menus and drinks packages can be tailored to suit your needs and budget. Children’s parties are also catered for. Please call and speak to Jan to book your next function.
