Latin American soul in the heart of Paddington.
Nestled inside a restored Victorian terrace, tqm. (formerly Tequila Mockingbird) is where vibrant Latin American flavours meets local Paddington charm. From fiery tacos to smoky grilled meats, our menu is a tribute to the diverse culinary traditions of Central and South America – all crafted with seasonal Australian produce.
Led by Michelin-rated Executive Chef José Garcia, tqm. 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.
Think smoky wood-fired meats, flame-grilled seafood, and vibrant dishes inspired by childhood memories, bustling market stalls, and the sun-drenched shores of Central and South America. Every plate is reimagined with an Australian twist, delivering a dining experience that’s both familiar and entirely unexpected.
