I almost chipped a tooth on a gravel rock that was inside my veg quesadilla . According to the staff , that rock came all the way from Mexico, where they import their ready-made beans from. Lovely.
Must order their Street Style Corn (ON COB) and not IN CUP. It tasted so differently. Simply life-changing! Must order their Salted Caramel Corn Icecream with Popcorn too. -Penang Kia Food Critique-
We came just for dessert !! Whether it's the salted popcorn ice cream , the sopapilla cheesecake , or any of the other varieties its fantastic just for the extra sweet! Our favorite in Melbourne
Get in early or be prepared to wait a few hours. Food is delightful, great selection of drinks, staff are attentive & atmosphere is always buzzing. Start with the 'Elote callejero' then hit the menu!
SO good! Recommend the Elote callajero (corn ), Tostadita de Carnitas (pulled pork on tortilla chips ), Ceviche verde and Quesadilla de Chorizo . Michelada was legit too.
Favourite Mexican place in the city ! Food that never disappoints you. Although the wait to get a table kills, especially on a Friday or Saturday evening. Try getting there before 6!
The best Mexican food I've ever tasted. Might be the best in Melbourne? Loved the fish tacos and chorizo quesadillas .
Think of the best corn you have ever had. This places does it better. I don't even like corn and I liked it. Plus the rest of the meal was the best Mexican I have had in Melbourne
Super friendly staff and great food. Get in early to avoid the queues fiend the stairs. Try the tequila with a tomato and chilli chaser
Delicious Mexican food and Melbourne's hippest venue right now. Amazing & authentic tacos , quesadillas and burritos . Their fried plantain is delicious, too. Long, long queues & busy but pro staff .
Chargrilled corn and prawn tacos were my highlight dishes. If you're going as a couple after 8pm, you don't have to wait long for a seat.
I love the ceviche and of-course the street corn ! Dessert menu is amazing too! if you want something different try the sweet corn salt caramel ice cream . Mmmm
Ceviche was gorgeous with coconut milk , frijoles an ideal side, lamb quesadilla magic! WARNING No bookings - arrived 12:15 for lunch , sat on stools at the front. 2:00 it was a little quieter :)
you can't go past the chargrilled corn (damn, so good!), pork shoulder tostaditas , grilled fish taco and the sweetcorn ice cream w/ caramel popcorn . good ambience, good food, good times!
Goat Mole was incredible, and the Elote Callejero (street corn ) is always worth getting. Try getting some Sangrita with your Tequila/Mezcal
Street grilled corn is a must to order even for the ones who do not fancy corn , ceviche is awesome, order for two, quesedilla wih lamb was chic , but favorite is the prawn taco
On a Saturday night, the wait is as long as the wait to go up the Empire State Building. Having eaten Mexican in Mexico, NYC and LA, I'd say that Melbourne needs more good Mexican restaurants .
This place is well worth the wait in line . Take the waiting staff 's recommendations and you'll not be disappointed. Loved the lamb quesadilla and pork belly .
One of the spiciest, most delicious meals I've had in Melbourne. Not saying MUCH, considering the bland nature of most food here, but still: this place is damn good!
The food here is great, try the quesadillas with a glass of sangria and get some tequila and sangrita
Great little Mexican place ! Delicious corn , pork belly and crackling . Sydney's mex needs to catch up!
Good luck getting a table even on a weekday. Get there early or be prepared to wait. The garlic prawns with tomatillo should be worth the wait.
Climb the big stairwell / And taste the best Aussie Mex. / Arriba, mate! #HaikuReviews
I always get a michelada here. The octopus was awesome, as was the fish tacos . Can't go wrong with the corn either.
Delicious mexican, good service and decent prices. The corn is a must-have! As are the pork tostaditas ... and the sangria .
Duck tostado and assortment of tacos....was by myself and sat on a bar stool looking at a blank wall! Had to turn around to feel like I was in the restaurant !
Oh my good lord!!! Best Mexican I've ever eaten!!! My life is changed after the chargrilled corn oh and the popcorn ice cream !!!! Do yourself a favor an order it!!!
Best Mexican I have ever eaten. Great atmosphere. We were lucky to walk right in and get a table, but it would have been worth the usual wait!!
This place is great. Feels like being in Mexico City (particularly while walking upstairs, lovely food scent). Food is well priced for Melbourne. Everything was tasty and authentic . BTW, I'm Mexican.
Everything is delicious. Street corn stole the show, but the tacos and tostadas were a close second
Long wait but fun atmosphere . Try the corn (entree) and the chicken dePollo tostaditos. Amazing. Only bite size so order a few!! The margaritas are authentic . Rimmed with salt.
¡Stigibeu! This cocktail is made from two different kinds of Mezcal , shown here
The quesadillas were very, very good! Good selection on the menu. Nachos were average though. Extensive drinks menu too!
Very tasty and trendy Mexican. I love the food here even if there is a queue. The ceviche is fantastic
The lamb quesadilla is the best. Don't be afraid of tequila here, the selection is top shelf
Corn cobs roasted on a stick w spices, delicious! guacomole fresh and lemony. Cilantro used with abundance. Very long wait to get in, acoustics are bad and rather pricey .
Great food! Had to wait - reminds me of sayulita mexico - I'm not mexican but love the food. Ask for a real Mohito - not the granita . Its not on the menu but they'll do it!
The bite size tostaditos are the stand out but seriously EVERYTHING is good. Mexican soda is also very yummy. Great service too.
Fun atmosphere and great food. Service is friendly and fast. Well worth the wait. Tip: couples get served much quicker than groups!
Loveeeeeee the elotes , tostaditas , red sangria , chorizo quesdillas and quinoa salad !
Great range of food. Can't pick one hero dish though...it's all good!
Ask to be sat at the bar and enjoy the food and drinks theatre .
Food was great and arrived quickly. Tequila . Do it.
Beautiful food!! However a shame of not having frozen margarita or strawberry margarita .. :)
Arrive early! Well worth the wait if you don't get a spot right away.
Go for the chargrilled corn or grilled octopus .
The tostaditos presentation is impressive…now does anyone have a strategy for eating them?
Get the corn . That's all I'm going to insist you do. You will thank me later.
OMG WORTH THE WAIT. head around to Madame Brussels for punch while you wait. Corn is great, as is everything else!
Street corn , fish tacos and 3 cheese & jalapeño quesadillas = all amazing. Sat at the bar - the dudes there were really nice and helpful.
Great cocktails and awesome food. If you can't decide, you can't go wrong with the tacos. - James Panther
The Prussian Ice tea was delicious, only improved by the sausage rolls. Perfect place to drink bottles of wine or jugs of cocktails in the sun. - Lara Hook
Lychee based digital in middle of page one us amazing. Goes down very well - Andrew Horton
Gets a bit boisterous at times with a slightly douchey after work crowd but service is well drilled and it's a great spot for a whisky and a cigar on a summer's eve. - Alexander Lobov
