Nestled in the buzzing Paddington Five Ways, Tequila Mockingbird first opened its restored doors on August 2016. You’ll find us in a heritage-listed, converted 1898 terrace. There are three unique and separate spaces to dine in, each with its own special character and atmosphere.

Led by Michelin-rated Executive Chef José Garcia, Tequila Mockingbird brings fire, flavour and storytelling to every dish. Drawing from his Venezuelan roots and years at Buenos Aires’ acclaimed Fogón Asado, José curates a menu that celebrates the depth and diversity of South American cuisine — from smoky wood-fired meats and seafood to reimagined street food classics inspired by childhood memories and coastal traditions.

Our cocktail program, crafted by original team member and Group Bar Executive Mark Crawford, complements the experience with creative, Latin-inspired drinks — alongside a cellar featuring Atticus Hospitality’s debut wine collection, The Tramuntana Mountain Series.

Designed with warmth, theatre and nostalgia in mind, Tequila Mockingbird is spread across three characterful levels — a moody cocktail bar, a narrow dining room opening into a lush courtyard, and an upstairs space perfect for intimate gatherings.

If you love a great cocktail with your meal, you may have found your new favourite restaurant. With over 32 types of premium tequilas, 12 top-quality mezcals, and a generous range of piscos, your Latin American journey doesn’t stop at the food.
