You know what’s better than sipping margaritas and eating tacos at one of Sydney’s top Mexican restaurants?

Doing exactly that—and scoring a free trip to Mexico while you’re at it.

Alegre Bar & Dining, perched on the second floor of King Street Wharf, is turning up the heat with an epic competition that could land you and a mate on a 7-day, all-expenses-paid trip to Mexico—complete with a tequila tasting tour. Yep, we repeat this is not a drill.

The venue itself is Sydney’s answer to a trip to Tulum: think sun-drenched interiors, earthy textures, and a menu that balances ancient Mexican cooking methods with modern flair. From the same crew that brought you Barangaroo’s Callao, Alegre’s “A Taste of Mexico” campaign runs from now until the end of October, and it’s all about highlighting the rich diversity of Mexican cuisine, one dish at a time.

Here’s how it works: each month, Alegre will feature a new dish from a different region of Mexico—seven in total. Try at least five, get your dining pass stamped, and you’re in the draw to win the ultimate foodie escape. Easy.

The dishes you need to get your hands on:

• Chicken Pibil Infladita from the Gulf & Southeast – smoky, punchy, perfect.

• Smoked Crab Sope from Central-South – crab fans, this one’s for you.

• Cured Prawn & Scallop Aguachile from North-East – fresh, spicy, addictive.

• Tacos Dorado with Braised Goat from North-West – bold and beautiful.

• Enchiladas Potosinas, Carne en su Jugo, and Tétela with Huitlacoche Paté & Mole Negro round out the regional tour and bring the depth of flavour Mexico’s known for.

It’s all backed by a killer collab with tequila legends El Tequileño and CNV Liquor, so expect the drinks list to bring serious agave energy, too.

Whether you’re chasing after the trip or just down for some seriously good eats, this is one flavour journey worth signing up for.
