That one down in St Kilda, Blue Corn I think, it pretty decent. Lots of beans and bits and pieces in everything.


de.foxus  said about 5 years ago:

blue corn is awesome, but a bit on the pricey side.

los amates came highly recommended, but i wasn't a fan.

montezumas is ok for cheap foods and loads of it, plus theirsangria is quite awesome.


Coz  said about 5 years ago:

There's a new mex restaurant opening soon on Lygon St where Cafe Banter is/was. I'm hoping it'll be good, cos it's so close to my house!


thisispants  said about 5 years ago:

blue corn is good.


de.foxus  said about 5 years ago:

bit of a quick search here


manchild  said about 5 years ago:

Coyote Cafe on Nicholson street (Nth Fitz) is apparently ok... and Los Amates and Blue Corn ae good... but yeah, its hard to find sensational mexican... Mexicali Rose in Richmond is semi-decent.

I don't mind Amigos in Chapel Street - isn't there a good mexican restaurant in Toorak road too?


Modi  said about 5 years ago:

Mexicali rose is good. I know the owner, he used to have a Mexican food store on Bridge Road, and had lots of Mexican friends. I miss that shop.

Dan_Crad  said about 5 years ago:

I was looking for recommendations, not just a list of them. Thats taco bill in clifton hill mic, gross.


gathering storm  said about 5 years ago:

but thanks! ill check these out!


scissors  said about 5 years ago:

Modi: you know Zac / family?

Can't beat the nachos pizza from Umago on B'St...


Modi  said about 5 years ago:

Zac doesn't ring a bell. I'm trying to remember the dude's name...

Not like we're best buddies. I only know him from when he worked in the shop, and I'd go in and talk chillies with him.


freaksandgeeks  said about 5 years ago:

there's also a yum mexican restaurant in fairfield just near the train station


NakedApe  said about 5 years ago:

finally Perth has a food advantage over Melbourne. http://www.thatlittlemexicanplace.com.au/

yeah yeah I am sure the coffee is shit....


scissors  said about 5 years ago:

i found that place a bit crappy actually - something about the choice of vegetables perhaps? not too bad, but y'know, not great in my mind!

Modi: Ahh, okay. Zac is the son of the owner.. . I used to talk to him on IRC when I was just a teen...


gathering storm  said about 5 years ago:

los amates looks awes!

"Anyway we really hope you’ll enjoy our food and tell all your friends; we have to pay the rent soon and have to get some relatives out of jail in Colombia.

We hope you enjoy our food and service.

Arturo & Staff"

hahah awesome.

And pig's ear tacos!

Most people who crap on about authenticity are full of shit, anyway.


rigid  said about 8 months ago:

For real. (Geddit? Haw!)


klaximopark  said about 8 months ago:

los amates - if you've been there and haven't had the tacos de conchinita pibil yet, get on it. awesome. and their sangria is probably the best i've had. mamasita is definitely still killing it as well..


polyphloisboian  said about 7 months ago:

just walk down johnston street between brunswick and nicholson....


team ham sandwich  said about 5 months ago:

I just had hight tech burrito in hawthorn. That place is amazing. Never thought I would find a good cali burrito like that in melbourne town.


Uncanny Valley  said about 5 months ago:

Los Latinos pupuseria in Mitchell Street, Maidstone. And there's a Chilean bakery a couple of doors down. Both are excellent.


untold/animals  said about 5 months ago:

Are the pupusas vegetarian at all?


rigid  said about 5 months ago:

If it hasn't been mentioned already, avoid Tasty Tacos in Northcote. Cheap, nasty and overpriced.


Timey  said about 5 months ago:

yep, los latinos is brilliant.


Uncanny Valley  said about 5 months ago:

You can ask for vegetarian pupusas. Los Latinos catered for my wedding, that's how much I recommend it.

Why hello Mexican Restaurant thread!

We will be very happy here in my new cyber home!

Yes, indeed....


anonymous  said 14 days ago:

there's heaps now.


TacoTacoTaco  said 14 days ago:

I will have to make regular reports then to get this baby up to speed!


anonymous  said 14 days ago:

paco's taco's in the city hasn't had the best rap, but maybe it was teething problems (500 bourke, the old movida terraza)

also fonda mexican in richmond, trippy taco's new bigger store, newmarket in st kilda and mamasita still with massive queues out the door most nights.


TacoTacoTaco  said 14 days ago:

On Thursday night's apparently Dan O'Connel's do 1 dollar tacos.
They aren't a Mexican place by any means, but I want to give those a crack!


anonymous  said 14 days ago:

some friends went, they enjoyed, but not sure if it was the price or the food (or if the price affects the food)


TacoTacoTaco  said 14 days ago:

As long as there isn't any morning after repercussions from the food (A hangover is fine....) it shouldn't be too bad.

Mexican SHOULD be reasonably priced though. Its just beans and corn FFS! Too many overprices places in Australia make it a pain


mrmagoo  said 14 days ago:

still need to try out Fonda


nexus  said 13 days ago:

fonda great but packed. a lot of times it takes me 30mins for take away
