Really nice guacamole as well. The fries were really good too. Mexican is usually not done that well in Melbourne and you've always got low expectations of a place in a shopping mall. But this food was really good. It was also inexpensive. Now, if only they could set up a place like this at Melbourne airport where the food is scandalously squalid.

We finally found really good Mexican food in Melbourne !!!…read more Bay City Burrito has some damn good food. It is well made and has amazing flavour. It actually tastes like Mexican food ! This is what I ate. Let's start with some burritos. The first one I ate ...... "The Bay City Bomber" it's MASSIVE ! and it is. 5 stars ! I ate the whole thing. For such a large burrito I was expecting to get a huge bit of a single ingredient but I didn't. It was perfectly layered and I felt like I got each ingredient in every bite. I put pinto beans on it instead of black beans. "Chicken Burrito Bowl" great alternative to a burrito if you don't want the tortilla. Delicious. Pinto beans instead of black. "Breakfast Burrito" perfect combination of egg, cheese, and beans, pinto of course. "Bean and Cheese Burrito" no rice , really good, tasted like something I would have made at home. It was nice to be able to taste just the pinto beans without all the other flavours. "Pulled Jake Fruit Taco" I had to try this before I could talk shit on it and was actually really good. No shit to talk. It does in fact taste like pulled pork but with more of a squash texture. Probably wouldn't have it in a burrito but it was just right in a taco. "Nuclear Fresh Made Salsa" amazing!!!!! Get it ! "BCB Mandarin Margarita" this was good but this is also why I'm only giving 4 stars. The guy who made it totally lied about how much tequila was in it, I WATCHED YOU MAKE IT ! Also I am the biggest light weight when it comes to tequila, it messes me up and I didn't feel a thing or taste a thing nor did my wife, don't waste you money, it's $35 and you get two small ass drinks out of the pitcher each. I'm not mad just don't lie, and don't try and make me think that Triple Sec is just as good as tequila. Come on ! Definitely go here and eat it all ! Drink water or beer ! The cooks know what they are doing ! Hi5 cooks, you are all amazing. Thank you !

Thanks to Covid, my visit to this little place on Hoddle Street had been postponed for some time…read more Finally lockdown eased and I made a beeline to check out what the grapevine had said was some seriously good tacos. I was not disappointed. Maybe some of the best in Melbourne right now. Just tacos and margaritas this visit, but I will be back. Check out the Birria (this one is beef) taco, a trending dish in Melb mex right now. Indoor, outdoor and courtyard seating on offer, with friendly slightly disorganised staff.

I've always had a love affair with Mexico, their culture, their history, their architecture, but…read moremostly their food. There is so much more to Mexican food than tacos and salsa, but unfortunately most Mexican restaurants focus on these two staples. Now don't get me wrong, I love a good taco just like the next guy, but rarely do I find a taco that wows, and rarely do I find a Mexican restaurant in Melbourne that wows me as well. I rate Mexican restaurants by BAD - GOOD - GREAT. Most fall in the range bad, with a few good and I've only rated two as great. PJ's Mexican Kitchen falls into the GOOD category. The fit out is pretty good, and is what you would expect from a Mexican Restaurant, rustic and colourful. The menu is not bad, but is what you would expect. We ordered for entree the trio platter, A selection of homemade dips: Chili con carne, guacamole and frijoles con queso served with corn chips. The Chili con carne was pretty good, and full of flavour. The frijoles con queso was ok but nothing special. The guacamole was a disappointment. It virtually had no flavour, it was basically just smashed avocado. Next we ordered the Mexican charred corn, served with chipotle aioli and lime. This should have been a great dish, but I think the kitchen forgot to add the chipotle aioli and lime. It literally was just grilled corn and was rather dry. For our main I ordered the Beef Colorado, Tender pieces of slow cooked beef with ground spices and onion, served with frijoles, Mexican rice and two flour tortillas. This was a good solid dish. Full of flavour and is what I would expect from a Mexican restaurant. Look, overall it was a good experience with a couple of misses. The service, whilst friendly and quick, just needed a bit of polishing. If in the area again I'd certainly return, and was certainly value for money.

I have to say that this place was pretty cool. I'm starting to develop a taste for Mexican food,…read moreand I'm glad that all of these Mexican restaurants are starting to appear around the place. I had decided to go for a wander around Thornbury one Friday evening, and when I walked past this place I instantly made up my mind where I was going to have dinner. I have to say that I am reall glad I did. The staff were super friendly, and the ensalada (which is what I believe it was called, though I could be wrong) was pretty coo. Basically it was strips of marinated beef on a green salad. I'd definitely come back here if I'm in the area.

I brought corn & flour tortillas all the way from Texas to make tacos for a friend. I was lamenting…read morethe fact that I wished I could get fresh tortillas in Melbourne and my friend told me he heard there was a tortilla factory in Melbourne. I went the very next day to check out La Tortilleria and I was very pleasantly surprised! I reviewed the entire menu in greater detail than I probably should have and decided on the Chilaquiles. Melbourne is a long way from Mexico, but I read some yelp reviews and saw photos that looked authentic! I had read some reviews that these "nachos" were very soggy, but to my surprise they were just as they should be and we're very authentic to South Texas! To describe these as "nachos" is not accurate! They are dipped in a red sauce for flavor and served perfectly. I had the Chilaquiles with chicken and they were really excellent and I highly them. There was not even a tiny use morsel of these left on the plate! In fact, I was so very impressed with the authentic flavor & taste, I bought 7 tacos, guacamole and chips, pico de gallo and chips to take to some friends. Everything was pretty authentic to my well-trained Tex Mex palate and I certainly will be back! I even bought two packs of corn tortillas to try to make some Mexican dishes while staying at my friends in Melbourne! Friends loved the "take out" tacos & chips, guacamole & pico!

That was the worst Mexican food I have ever eaten. We visited on Cinco de Mayo (which was a…read moreSaturday night) and I could not believe they were out of two menu items we wanted to order. Everything was served room temperature and bland tasting. Some items were even too terrible tasting I wouldn't finish them. (Do not order the enfrijoladas.) Aside from that, the staff could really improve their service. Lastly, our bill was completely illegible with strange amounts of numbers and decimal points in weird places. Would have also been nice to have their beers listed on the menu. I do not recommend eating here. The corn is better at Mamasita and the tacos are better around the corner at Hello Jose.

We were so so disappointed AND STILL HUNGRY even before getting the bill that we decided to drive 5 minutes down the road to a real authentic Mexican food restaurant and got 2 drinks, 8 REAL tacos, 2 starters and 2 desserts for $87. 13 bucks less for more. If you have never eaten authentic Mexican food before then you may and I do say "may" think this place is just ok. Walked in expecting good things because this place is owned by El Cielo where I get my own raw ingredients and tortillas when I cook mexican at home. WRONG! Not owned by El Cielo anymore. Sold off and you can always throw away reviews on a place good or bad when it's under new ownership. On to the food. Portion were tiny and lacking in true authentic flavors. Honesty this is something anybody can cook at home. If I can cook better than a place then I don't see the point. The other person in my party ordered a margarita that came in a tumbler. I ordered A Pacifico beer for $12. $9 everywhere else. Asked for tamales as it's on the menu saying only available Fridays and Saturdays and we happend to be there on a Friday and one of the first people in the door. "We are all out of tamales ". Hold on, how? Then we want some fish tacos. Nope, all out of fish. Don't get me wrong the food was ok. That's the problem though it was just ok. For the money, average food and still left hungry left me extremely disappointed.

Got a large order for our takeaway movie night…read more We got a special deal. The price was absolutely fantastic in this circumstance. The Nachos were very nice. The food was all good enough. The rice was zesty, full of flavour. The Pork Quesadilla was different and wonderful, better then the other Chicken Quesadilla as I preferred my quesadillas with no sauce on top. Nice and dry. My fault, you learn as you go along. I havnt had Pork for a long time so it was a nice change of scene. I did not have the Fajita Pack my friend did. Sometimes, some of the food had a slightly wet, soggy undertone. Most likely from the sauce that was on top of it. Therefore I would recommend taking it easier on the sauces when you go here. A good, suitable large order with lots of things to try. Decent, 3 stars from me this time.

This place is so good... SIKE, this place has very yummy food but the price is WAY TOO MUCH.

I ordered the Chile con carne burrito, and it was bloody delicious, however it was $31 which I can see is fair, but I also ordered the flan de queso which was average and totally not worth the prize. I came in to eat with 3 people and the total ended up being a whopping $145!! Would not recommend!!

Okay, it isn't strictly a restaurant since while you can get food here, it tends to only be finger food (though you can get a couple of filling things here). The one problem with the place was that it happened to be pretty crowded when I decided to visit it again for old times sake, and while there is food available, in the end it is more like a tapas bar.

I remember first hearing of this place opening months ago, but the opening date kept on getting…read morepushed back. After a few failed attempts to get there (doing drive bys only to realise it was closed) I finally got to try Los Hermanos. Now I'm going to go out on a bit of a limb here, but I dare say it does have some of the best tacos in Melbourne. I ordered the mushroom tacos and fish tacos with chipotle sauce and I think it's become my new favourite taco. The flavours were unique, delicious and the sauce just completed a great dish. The staff are all super friendly and happy to recommend dishes for you. We took their advice and went with the cactus salad. Something I've not seen in Melbourne before. A great side dish to go with the tacos. They have a cute little courtyard outside, but I personally prefer inside to enjoy the atmosphere of this awesome taqueria.
