Checho’s, Penrith

CHECHOS® PENRITH

🧐 I was lucky enough to be invited to try Chechos in Penrith. As soon as I saw the line-up of modern Mexican dishes and that neon-lit vibe, I knew it was going to be my kind of place. They’re opening in Camden soon and I already can’t wait to go again.

🎨Neon signage, moody lighting, loud music, bold art and a seriously fun energy. It’s cool, cheeky and full of flavour — just like the menu. Think late-night taqueria meets upscale Mexican diner. Definitely somewhere you’d go with friends or for a fun date night.

🍸Didn’t get to try a cocktail this time but their bar setup looked so fun. Tequila and mezcal lovers, you’re covered.

🍽️

✨ Kingfish Aguachile

Kingfish, yuzu, pickled onions, jalapeño, tajin seasoning and lime

So fresh, so zesty and just the right amount of heat. The kind of starter that wakes up your taste buds in the best way.

✨ Fish Tacos

Flathead, garlic cream, pico de gallo, onion salsa and consommé

My favourite bite of the night. The garlic cream was next-level and the consommé on the side gave it that rich depth. Crunchy, creamy, punchy perfection.

✨ Wagyu Scotch Fillet MB3+

With chimichurri and lime

Juicy, charred and cooked beautifully. Loved the simple yet powerful flavour combo. That chimichurri is no joke.

👀 Next time I want to try The prawn tostada

The birria tacos — I’ve seen these all over socials and they look insane

🙏Chechos is the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression. Bold, modern and full of flavour. If this is what they’re doing in Penrith, I can’t wait to see what magic they bring to Camden. Massive thanks to the Chechos team for having me — I’ll be back the minute those Camden doors open.
