[...] as Rob, the outspoken and at times arrogant chef of Baja Cantina, not so subtly spammed my recent Flying Fajita Sistas visit and there was a little exchange of words between him and a FFS supporter. Watching the show [...]

Hi Jen-That’s really the only issue I have with eatability, the fact that there are so many spammers. Although what is good is that they seem to do such a transparent job you immediately know they’re from the establishment in question.

I wish I had received my tamale, I was really curious to see how it tasted. Perhaps I’ll go back just to try some!

haha that’s funny, I thought exactly the same thing about the comments for Baja Cantina on eatability, especially after going there; the food was horrible and the service just shameful. However, we LOVED FFS, even spoke with the chef who’s American and he’s making it all from scratch. He was really excited about bringing tamales to Sydney – the reason he said he knew FFS were first to do them was because the suppliers of Mexican ingredients are very few in Sydney, they all pretty much go through one importer and she had not had anyone ordering masa harina and banana leaves for tamales before FFS opened.

Sorry to disagree so vehemently Rob, but from my experience, the real Mexican is at FFS and so are the “yank” and Mexican clientele. If crowds are anything to go by, BC sits empty while the FFS has people spilling out the doors, very telling.

Hi rob-I think I have gotten savvy enough to tell who is spamming or not, usually the over-the-top, passionate endorsements combined with only 1 or 2 reviews is a good indication Thanks for the recommendation though, I’m always on the lookout for good food!

If you study many of there ratings, they read like advertisements, obviously by the owners of FFS. Not the real deal!

[...] The Flying Fajita Sisters have been reviewed again, in some cases it’s a rave review http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/03/26/flying-fajita-sistas-at-glebe/, and in some not as good. But take a close look at the people in the picture [...]

Hi rob-I’ve seen Baja Cantina, it looks interesting but I had to choose one and FFS won as it had a higher eatability rating (I had to go on something! )
