Before you head over

Practical advice on stairs, reservations, and hearty Tex-Mex servings at Oz Mex

  • Plan for Stair Access

    The dining room sits upstairs and requires climbing a long flight of stairs, so take extra note if someone in your party has limited mobility.

  • Book Ahead of Time

    Oz Mex fills up very quickly with local groups and visitors, so secure a table booking in advance rather than relying on walk-ins.

  • Prepare for Sizzling Baked Portions

    Platters come out piping hot and loaded with generous amounts of melted cheese and beans, making meals exceptionally filling and best eaten immediately with utensils.
