Great local with yummy Mexican food. On Tuesday they have a special with 2 tacos and a Corona beer. Service is friendly and staff are helpful. Being a local will definitely return soon!

Really good, and well priced mexican food. The venue is really cosy and authentic. It's a small and slightly pokey place but its all part of the charm

Friendly staff, warm atmosphere, casual environment and hearty Mexican food makes this a great spot for any day of the week. I usually go here once or twice a fortnight with my partner and we are almost always met by friendly, efficient staff. Recently we've noticed some new faces in the staff team, one of which once messed up our drinks order. However, when brought to the attention of a senior waitress, she was very apologetic and immediately rectified the situation. We weren't that bothered due to so many other positive experiences there.

For starters, we always share chips and guacamole. However, there are plenty of other things on the menu too. The guacamole seems to be homemade and the chips are always hot out of the oven. Never disappoints!

The main course menu is relatively small, but it does make it easy to decide. They have fantastic tacos, especially the fish variety. You pick and choose your fillings in each taco unlike a lot of other Mexican restaurants where they all have to have the same filling. Great if you like some variety!
We have tried the other main dishes too, which have been good, but we always come back to the tacos.

Would also recommend the churros with chocolate dipping sauce if you've got room for dessert, very tasty.

Excellent Tequila cocktails, small, but decent selection of wines and good selection of beers, including Modelo :)

Be sure to book on a Friday!

Approximate cost: $24

Mexican food has become a bit of a fad in Australia with so many places offering 'trendy' Mexican fusion food and little taquerias popping up all over the place. if you want a taste of the authentic with great tequila to match try this great little restaurant in North Melbourne. Best Mexican I've had anywhere in Australia!
