A restaurant smuggled from Mexico to Melbourne. Find Little Bourke Street’s late night mezcal bar and taqueria hidden underground in the China Town precinct, and open 7 days a week until late, including lunch Thursday - Sunday. Try a Tequila or Mezcal cocktail, or speak to our team about sipping some exciting Agave spirits instead. The $59 Feed Me banquet offers great value and a huge mix of traditional Mexican street food, plus some dishes with a twist. We also offer a $75 Bottomless Brunch on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays, with unlimited cocktails and 5 dishes; or a Pre-Theatre deal available every night of the week. We are located on the corner of Little Bourke and Crossley Street, Melbourne, with a moody bar and dining area perfect for both a quiet drink, or a larger celebration.

    Service was great, a little confused at times (was told they would hold off on mains until we were done with starters but then mains came out anyway). Food was decidedly not good, apart from the Papas (potatoes) which were excellent. The rest of the food was super dry, unsure of it was bc it was the end of the night or if that’s how it always is. Overall not bad but would likely not come back.

    Online service, such as contacting over email, is close to nothing of accessible. No phone number to reach out to on top of that. So any last minute changes to booking may be ignored. Further, booking seating options online were incorrect. Otherwise, the ambience of the place is very fun and cool, with good music making it for an entertaining dining experience.

    Food was subpar. Service was lovely for bottomless. Really need to advertise their menu in more detail, with spice level and sweetness level. Birria tacos just tasted like straight cinnamon.

    90 minutes is not a lot of time if you want to talk to people as well as eat. We felt quite rushed and could not finish the food. Cocktails were great.

    Came here for the second time and it did not disappoint. We had the feed me menu and we were stuffed towards the end. The entire experience was made more memorable by our lovely server Katherine! She was so friendly and attentive and made the entire experience more pleasant. Will definitely be returning for a third time!

    Way to loud you couldn’t even have a conversation with the person next to you. Unable to get waiters attention for drinks. Forgot items on our food list. One item was meant to have no coriander it came out with it so was not eaten. When the pork came out it was too cold not heated at all. The zucchini was under cooked.

    Great staff at the venue however they work through the menu too quick. Have served all dishes within about 45 minutes. Food was tasty enough, the corn was the best of all and corn should bee really be the best dish 😂. Enjoyable and glad to have visited but no need to rush back
