Take a trip deep into the heart of Mexico at Chiwahwah Mexican Cantina Bar. Found on popular Oxford Terrace, amigos will be greeted with their traditional unmissable Mexican decor, where they can enjoy a huge range of dishes made with truly authentic Mexican ingredients.

Chiwahwah is all about sharing and tasting different dishes. For those seeking a variety of small bites to take on, they can feast on dishes including hand hacked guacamole and corn chips with pico de gallo, fried tobacco squid, and mouth-watering beef mogo mogo with chipotle crema. If you're all about the classic Mexican affair, try the marinated raw market fish with fresh lime, coconut, green chilli, avocado and pepitas.

For something bigger, select from a large range of Especialidades, La Ensalada or share one of the Platos options between friends or family.
