"Great burrito bowl with pulled pork and guacamole. Was looking for something simple and fresh, and not too expensive. Ozymex hit the spot. Generous serving that we took to the beach and watched and listened to the waves crashing on the shore. All.was super tasty. A lot of locals eat here too so that is a good sign. The guy serving us was a great conversationist which made the short time it took to get it ready a super pleasant experience. Will definitely be back."

"Definitely an aussie version of mexican food. It was very healthy which means bland. It ticks all the boxes in terms of ingredients but it doesnt have that mexican kick. But super friendly staff and the wait wasnt very long. Good portion size and it was yummy."

"I've been going here for over a decade, and while the food is not the best Mexican, while the prices aren't dead cheap, and while the restaurant area is almost nonexistent, the restaurant has been totally consistent for many years. A consistent restaurant in Byron Bay is very rare indeed, and I can always rely on the handmade Mexican dishes provided here as being identical each time. So, visit here for a good, easy Mexican dish with a selection of quality chilli or hot sauces as dressing."
