If you're craving some Mexican fare, head over to the Flying Fajita Sistas. If you go to USyd, there's the added bonus that it's only a skip, hop and hunger-laden jump away if you happen to be anywhere near Broadway.
The aptly-named 'wall of pain' containing a delightful selection of chilli sauces
We went to the Flying Fajita Sistas on a Tuesday night to get their $3 taco deal. If you're going in a group, you have to make reservations at least one week ahead. But it's worth it! No-one could take their hungry eyes off the 20 tacos when they arrive at our table on a huge platter. The restaurant manager moves the candle on the table (which is providing some ambient lighting) away, saying "You don't need this, you only need tacos." Amen. We promptly begin eating and don't talk (much) until every last taco is gone.
We ordered 5 taco platters - one per person. Each platter comes with 4 soft-shell tacos: chicken, pork, beef and bean. My favourite had to be the beef, which was tender (tick) and satisfied my rumbling tummy (double tick; there was a long gap between lunch and dinner for me that day). Next to the beef, the pork wasn't bad. For the non-carnivores, there was the bean taco, which contained blended/whipped up beans in a smooth spread and not actual beans (as I was expecting).
As part of their Tuesday night specials, you get 3 complimentary side dips with your order of tacos: guacamole, crema and salsa. The salsa is only mildly spicy (but then again, I didn't put much on my tacos), though none of us go near the wall of pain. Maybe next time, when I'm feeling more adventurous.
As a (relatively) poor/cheap/stingy student, a $12 dinner really tickled my fancy (while leaving my wallet barely touched). I'll definitely coming back here another (Tues)day. I feel a post-uni Mexican fiesta coming up soon.

yummm.
Saigon Saigon (on the same road) has fantastic Viet food too.
great review, hurley!
i don't remember that quote from the restaurant manager but then again, there was food in sight, so perhaps I was sidetracked!
anyways, amigos, we have got to revisit!
Actually been there, felt like I was paying for people to open up cans and serve the food from them? But always willing to give the benefit of doubt re: food though.
Can you get the tacos in only one flavour? Being a non-carnivour (as you so delicately put it :P ), I don't really need chicken, beef and pork.
Thanks for the heads up! If you happen to try any Japanese restraunts, let me know. :)
