What customers say?

“ Best strawberry mojitos in town! We went on a very busy day and we were starving but they were at capacity. Regardless they still offered to take 2 people in and serve cocktails and nachos to munch in while waiting for things to calm down and take our order. Everything was great, nice, clean, cozy AND so delicious Great attention to customers, food was mwah ”

“ Fantastic restaurant hidden down an alleyway filled with street art. I love the upstairs seating and it has an intimate feel. The food and cocktails are fantastic and the staff are lovely. This was my second time here and I’ll be back. ”

“ This is the 3rd time we have tried 187 Cantina - the first 2 times, not long after you opened, and honestly we were not impressed - as to why it has taken us so long to try again. We are so glad we did - this time the food was exceptional - not sure if you have a new chef or just worked on getting better , but we will definitely be back. Love that you are serving locally made corn chips (they really are the best!). ”

“ Excellent service, we felt very welcomed, and we're well looked after by our lovely hosts, this is the best Mexican I've had in Australia and I have been to literally every corner of Australia, Its well worth the detour off the M1 on the way to Brisbane, or if you going the opposite direction too Sydney. Lismore ”

“ It is our first time visiting Lismore as a family, and we decided to have dinner at 187 Cantina — and boy, it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely packed with flavour, and you could really taste the freshness of the ingredients. The staff were incredibly friendly, and even the Chef chat with us, which made the experience extra special. Every dish we ordered was a standout — from the Elotes (grilled corn), the chips and guacamole (so fresh) to the Crispy Pork Taco, Carne Asada, Barbacua, Sweet Potato Taco, and those amazing Dirty Fries (honestly, the best I’ve ever had!). We finished with Churros with chocolate caramel sauce, which was the perfect sweet ending. There’s nothing to fault here — everything from the food to the service and even the restaurant’s aesthetic was spot on. Though it’s tucked away in an alley, 187 Cantina is definitely worth finding. A hidden gem in Lismore that we’ll be recommending to everyone! ”

“ Recent restaurant. Beautiful decoration. Professional and smiling waitresses. Fast service. The dishes are expensive but very good. Lots of choice. Reservation recommended as it is often fully booked. A lot of noise in the room upstairs. ”

“ Great Mexican restaurant for a night out. There is an upstairs area too and service was quick, our orders were taken promptly and food came out soon after. I enjoyed my burrito bowl, it was nice to have so many different things to try together. I think it could have been more generous with the beef portion. The corn chips were crisp and added great texture! I would love to try more things on the menu next time. ”

“ Arrived at the 187, was seated within minutes of arriving (already precooked a table), Service was fast and the waitress that served us was so kind. Food was absolutely amazing and definitely worth the price. Had the Limp Brisket Burrito and it was so tasty and filling. 100% coming back ”
