Oh my god...these burritos are amazing. I'm a HUGE Mexican food fan and this is definitely the best take away Mexican food in Melbourne.

The fajita burrito is the bomb!!!

Approximate cost: $12

Definitely not the best Mexican I've had. The food is better at night for some reason. I went there for lunch one time and the food was pretty average.

Great margaritas though.

Approximate cost: $20

Best, fresh take-away Mexican food you can get. The California Salad burrito is to die for and the mexi-crinkles are a must buy.

P.S. Get yourself a Salsas VIP card when you go as for every $15 you spend you get a point. I've saved quite a bit of money using this card as I go to Salsas quite a bit.

Approximate cost: $8-12

This review is for Souvlaki Hut, Templestowe Lower VIC

I LOVE Souvlaki Hut! I always have the traditional souvlaki...I really should experiment but I can't go past this one. Also...the chips are a MUST...best chips I've had for awhile.

A great hangover cure!

This review is for Fiesta Mexican Restaurant, South Yarra VIC

This is my new favourite Mexican restaurant. The burritos and margaritas are some of the best that I have had. We had some major mix ups with our orders but our waiter handled them beautifully and gave us a great discount. All in all a good night out!

Only note is that they have a siesta room (where you sit on the floor). We got booked into this room and whilst it was fun at first....after a few hours...sitting on cushions can be quite uncomfortable when eating. So if you have a big group and don't have the stamina to last I'd suggest booking a table and not the siesta room.

Approximate cost: $22

I am in LOVE with the Carlucci's Spanish Risotto...it's my new favourite risotto. I have had a lot of risottos but this is one of the best!

This review is for Amigo's, South Yarra VIC

I used to LOVE Amigos but the last couple of times I had take away and the burrito meat was chewy/fatty and felt like it had been left overs from another meal. I used to have Amigos EVERY WEEK but now I couldn't even imagine myself going back. The last time I had it I found what looked to be a grubby toe nail in it.

It sounds like they need to improve their kitchen hygiene and preparation.

The food I've had prior to this has been AMAZING so I'm very sad to be writing this review.

Approximate cost: $22

This review is for Gennaro's Pizza Restaurant, Eltham VIC

Very noisy but fantastic food. Don't go there if you want to have a quiet conversation. The pizzas are to die for and I tasted my friend's pasta and I must go back again for that too.

Great value for money!

Approximate cost: $14

This review is for Volumes, Eltham VIC

I really enjoyed the atmosphere, it's just a really warm environment. A great place to go for breakfast or brunch.

Great food and gorgeous freshly squeezed orange juice. Only thing...I wasn't a fan of the hash browns. I prefer the traditional kind and these were a little too 'healthy' lentil-esque for me!

Approximate cost: $12
