AI Summary

A hidden, entirely gluten-free Mexican bar underground on Little Bourke, loved for birria tacos.

A dark, moody underground bar-restaurant with a lively, sometimes loud buzz. suited to pre-theatre dinners, bottomless brunches and group nights out rather than quiet conversation.

An entirely gluten-free menu by default, a $60-69 set 'Feed Me' banquet, bottomless brunch packages, and a below-street-level entrance easy to walk past.

Reviews are split. many praise authentic Mexican flavour, while others (including one noting bodegas are Puerto Rican in origin) call the execution Australianised or inconsistent.

Mixed. the bottomless brunch and Feed Me set menu are called good value by most, but several reviewers found the food underwhelming for the $60+ per-person price on a bad night.
