EL Mexicano Geelong

Geelong cantina serving birria tacos, loaded nachos and dulce de leche churros in moody light

Art-lined, lively cantina with a moody red and purple glow. Cosy and festive at night, though dim enough by day that some diners struggle to read the menu.

Gluten-free and vegetarian choices, sangria and mocktails, Mexican wall art, a hospitable floor team and an open kitchen crew praised by name.

Many diners praise traditional birria and chilaquiles and call the flavours authentic. A minority felt the menu is Tex-Mex or Spanish-leaning, so opinion is split.

Most diners find it affordable and generous on flavour, though a few found mains small for the price and were surprised by an 8% weekend surcharge.
