How we read reviews →St Kilda's most authentic Mexican. birria tacos, ceviche, and cocktails from a Mexico City-trained kitchen.
Warm, vibrant, and genuinely Mexican in feel. Latin music, colourful decor in a beautifully updated Fitzroy Street space. Welcoming family-business energy with passionate staff who talk you through every dish.
Head chef from Mexico with a Mexico City background. Three house sauces (mango, green and red chilli) made in-house. Full breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu. Outdoor seating on Fitzroy Street for sunny days. Cocktail programme including micheladas and a signature grapefruit-spiced drink.
Owned and operated by a Mexican family (David and team). Head chef trained in Mexico. Multiple Mexican expats and visitors confirm the authenticity, with several noting it as the best Mexican they have had in Melbourne or Australia.
Mid-range pricing for a full-service experience. some reviewers noted portion sizes on mains are modest. The cocktails and quality of ingredients justify the spend for most; a small number felt it leaned fine-dining in price without the portion scale.
