Comments on: Review: Flying Fajita Sistas at Glebe http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/03/26/flying-fajita-sistas-at-glebe/ The slightly eccentric eating and cooking adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

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!

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. 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.

If the weather is good, I'd definitely recommend asking for one of those tables for two on the balcony. It can get loud on the second floor if you're trying to have a romantic dinner. however it might mean having to be far away from the "Wall of Pain" (which may or may not be a good thing!). Have fun! :) Hi Genevieve-Cool! If the weather is good, I’d definitely recommend asking for one of those tables for two on the balcony.
