    Awesome! Portions were so great I had 3 days worth of yummy food. Fresh ingredients and the chips made in house are delicious. Plenty of seating inside. Staff were wonderful and tentative. I would definitely recommend and I will definitely be back.

    A picture of the menu. Plenty of options.

    Update the weird smell was not there the other times we have visited. :-) Food still delicious and service still kind. :-)

    El Tesoro is a delightful, lively modern Mexican eatery with a large menu! We tried the appetizer Chipotle Chicken Tacos, Carne Asada Street Tacos & the Chicken Chimichanga; all delicious! I also tried one of the spicy margs - it was so pretty & delicious as well! Surprisingly, but maybe not so much with the popularity of them these days, they have an espresso martini on the menu! We tried it and.... it was good! They have a huge selection of margaritas and classic cocktails. The service was impeccable! I would say this is a bit pricey for a local Mexican joint, but the portions were appropriate & filling and the wait staff work hard to put on an enjoyable dining experience! I'm excited to return to Melbourne and dine in with the family again!

    Nachos anyone?

    My daughter and I stopped in for lunch to try them. SO glad we did! Very high end looking inside. Very clean. Service was good, but our waiter was in training and had not yet learned to keep an eye on his tables for refilled drinks or dessert offering. He will learn. My daughter had a nachos plate. It was big enough for four hungry people! She said it was very tasty and filling. I ordered the Triple Tamales appetizer. One salsa verde over pork tamale, one white cream cheese sauce over chicken tamale, one refried beans over beef tamale. It was not only very tasty, there was so much that I had trouble eating all 3. They have sopaipillas on the dessert menu, so we tried them as well. Not SW NM-AZ puffy hollow triangles to squirt honey into the middle, but yummy nonetheless! Definitely a return to restaurant! Great alternative to the current Mexican restaurants in Melbourne. Conveniently located on Wickham, just off I-95.

    28 Feb 2026. On this evening we set out to try El Tesoro Cocina Mexicana Restaurant. The food and experience was wonderful as the restaurant was celebrating their "One-Year Anniversary." The place was packed and fortunately we were able to be seated right away. The service and staff were friendly and helpful with our menu selections. Our waiter (Ricardo), took care of us with all our food needs. We ordered entrees of "Arrachera" and "Grilled Steak Enchiladas." The food was delicious! No disappointment on our choices all had a great tasty flavor. To cap off the meal, we also enjoyed a yummy pineapple cake with ice cream desert as well. Thanks to the El Tesoro Team, we will certainly return again soon.

    TLDR: This place was a fantastic opportunity to bid farewell to a coworker; awesome ambience with delicious food, super fast service, and the very best bang for your buck. One of the most important aspects of finding a great social setting for a farewell is coupling the quality of the restaurant with the quality of the food . As such El Tesoro, Cocina Mexicana was exactly what we were looking forward to a big farewell to a dear coworker. The reservation process was easy and seating. A large table was barely an inconvenience. We had excellent customer service from start to finish despite it being a busy Friday night. Beverages were topped off, chips and salsa were restocked, and the table was checked in on multiple times. I went with a beef option and was glad I did , because the steak was clearly a quality cut both in preparation and in taste. The vegetables were fresh and you can tell they were prepared with quality seasoning. A coworker even noted that you can tell the quality of the place by the integrity of the Salsa - the vertex extends true! It's clearly homemade made with fine ingredients. We were able to bid farewell to an All-Star and enjoy a fantastic meal at the same time .

    Delicious food. Chicken fajitas were very tasty. Chicken was flavorful and tender. Peppers and onions were cooked very well. Chimichanga with shredded chicken was tasty and tender. White queso, salsa and chips were delicious. Highly recommend!! Service was very friendly!

    We loooooved Tesoro Cocina Mexicana! My parents love Mexican food and have had really great authentic Mexican, so they are picky about where we all eat. We went for my mom's birthday and they loved it. The food was fresh, and authentic. The ambiance was fun and easy. The service was genuine and friendly. They did bring over a Mexican hat and sang happy birthday. They also have a ton of beers on draft. Great experience!

    Love this place! The service is truly outstanding. We sat by the bar, and our waitress was incredibly attentive, friendly, and on point the entire time. From the moment we walked in, everything felt welcoming and seamless. Highly recommend if you're looking for great vibes, great service, and an all-around wonderful dining experience!

    This has become our new spot for Mexican food. It's conveniently located near my job, so it's an easy spot to grab and go from. Food is amazing, portions are very big. I eat on my food for three days. Service is always 100/10. And it's still a very clean establishment! We love el Tesoro

    Chintzy Skinny Margaritas (mostly ice) don't bother
    Heather D.

    Pretty good food but next time we'll skip the drinks. $16 for a margarita that was so loaded with ice that there was barely any drink in the glass. Not even a slight buzz. Food came out fast once ordered. Tableside guac was good. Tierra y Mar was good not sure why they asked how we wanted it done because it's just thinly sliced steak. Service was friendly. Place was a little smelly inside. We will be back to try other menu items.

    Food was delicious. A bit pricey but nice portions. Bartender was friendly & welcoming. She gave recommendations on margaritas. Establishment was clean. Decor is very nice. I'll be back for sure.

    Absolutely best Mexican place in Brevard!…read more My dining partner does not normally like mexican food ordinarily, but we went twice in two days It's that good. Interior was clean and tastefully decorated. All staff super friendly and professional, frequently stopping by the table to refill drinks and check on us. Both times we went, the food was served extremely rapidly and super hot. The plates themselves were hot to keep your food from getting cold. I have not ordered a cocktail yet, but their menu was very extensive. In addition to the expected array of tequilas and margaritas, they also had a number of gin and bourbon options. I want to circle back and try the house specialty Buffalo Trace bourbon margarita. The lunch menu portions were huge and reasonably priced $12-$15, including several shrimp and steak options. Tres amigo burrito: seasoned steak, chicken and shrimp coveted with Blanco and chorizo sauce. We had other dishes as well but cannot spell them. The shrimp seemed to be grilled and were fabulously seasoned. The Blanco was so great we ordered a small side to enjoy with the chips and wonderful home made salsa. The lunch portions were large enough to enable me to take some home as leftovers. The $9 kids meal had 2 full sized corn dogs, fries and soft drink. As added bonus the lunch menu is available on weekends. Seriously give them a try!!

    Good food. Slow service. Here goes…read more... No smile or greeting from the hostess when we entered. No acknowledgement actually. We were then seated and received chips and sauce immediately. About 5 minutes later, server came over. No smile and no greeting. ‍ Anyways, we started with bean and cheese dip that was excellent. Of course we ran out of chips and had to ask for more, once dinner arrived. We didn't finish the app because of that. Jess had cheesesteak burrito. She loved it and so did I. I had enchilada Aztecs and the flavor was great. Really enjoyed the food, although I got my extra napkins from the bar. Cute place inside and Jess loved the plates. Service left a lot to be desired.

My friends ordered the fish sandwich with fries and the jerk chicken salad bowl, and they all agreed their meals were fresh, flavorful, and very tasty.

I don't know how else to explain, but you can tell when proteins haven't been "washed". There is a raw, gamey like taste that was present in the chicken wings, then again in the fish. It was to the point I could not eat it and my wife had to share her shrimp and grits. The grits were well attended to, stirred occasionally, seasoned well and very creamy. The shrimp was flavorful and it all paired well. The sauce on what I believe was called "miami" flavored, was good, but the chicken was not edible unless you would bite a chicken in the wild. I won't be back.
