Ghostboy Cantina to Open Taqueria in Tio's
Now you can inhale those cauliflower tacos late into the night.
Surry Hills haunt Tio's is about to take its taco game to a whole new level. Ghostboy Cantina announced yesterday that, from July 20, the Dixon Street hole-in-the-wall will be taking up residence at the Mexican drinking den.
Toby Wilson, former owner of Wedge Espresso and most recently head barista of Sample Coffee, took a distinct departure when he opened Ghostboy Cantina in the Dixon House food court at the start of this year.
Serving a simple menu of tacos and sides, it's a taqueria with an Asian twist — no surprise considering his Haymarket location. Think tacos of shredded pork with Thai basil and sliced peach or a fried cauliflower taco with green chilli sauce and queso fresco topping. This 'Mexicasian' combination works all too well.
But, with his six-month lease just about up, Wilson is moving on to bigger and better taco digs. The collaboration with Tio's is really a no brainer — get a Sydney guy already making world class tacos and put him up in a place that champions everything Mexican culture.
Patrons should expect much the same style menu, with a few surprises on the horizon. Wilson has promised to start off with a brand new Tio's dessert, as well as a few new bar snacks that we expect will go deeper than bags of popcorn (love you, popcorn bags). We have our fingers crossed for taco-inspired drinks from the Tio's side of things.
We'll see if Ghostboy's Asian flare holds up outside its Dixon Street debut. Either way, the previously unassuming food stall might take on a pretty different vibe moving into the late night game — you can't avoid it in the party atmosphere of Tio's.
Ghostboy Cantina will open on July 20 at Tios Cerveceria, 4-14 Foster Street, Surry Hills.
