Dr Alex McDowellJuly 1, 2012Make sure you try one of the great selections of Tequilas or Mezcals Aturo has collected, whilst enjoying your meal- I personally love Ocho Tequila, and am enjoying exploring Del Maguey Mezcal range!
stephiedooJuly 29, 2013Don't be scared to see the 3 fiery chili peppers next to menu items (like the Camarones a la Diabla). It's definitely spicy and they're not kidding about the heat, but it's so tasty!
Suki SukiiJune 26, 2016An authentic Mexican food and good cocktail. Everything was good & yummylicious 8/10
Andy H.November 19, 2011Legendarily good Mexican, several Mexicans and me agree this is one of the best, most authentic and tastiest Mexican restaurants in the country. They take their tequila very seriously too.
Los Amates Mexican KitchenMay 29, 2015A soup made of #Mexican black beans, chopped nopales, pico de gallo and crumbed cheese fetta.
Mark FedorowiczDecember 28, 2013The beef cheek tacos a delicious surprise! Watch out for the tacos which seem to get hotter when you remove them from their blanket!
TomfooleryJanuary 10, 2015Pretty fine standard mexican joint. Make sure you get a Sangrita with your tequila
Nigel GilbertDecember 1, 2013Excellent authentic tasting food. But very popular: best to book beforehand
Kerrie PerrettSeptember 14, 2012The best Mexican food ever eaten and the tequila was excellent plus the service was impeccable
Luke McCormackDecember 15, 2012Great Mexican! Highlights: deep fried quesadilla, shredded chicken taco and the chipotle sauce!
Polo Jimenez-GomezJuly 2, 2011Ask Arturo which one is the latest tequila he has added to the list and enjoy it slowly. There are more than 40 to choose from.
valissaMay 5, 2011Great sangria but the margaritas are tiiiiny. The most authentic Mexican I've found yet in Melbourne
Tristan BeardOctober 16, 2011Margaritas were tiny, nachos had unappealing purple dots on them. Enchiladas were mostly pastry with a bit of chicken that looked like cat food. Sangria was average, had better at the QV night market.
Bernie HernándezDecember 23, 2012La mejor comida Mexicana TRADICIONAL que he encontrado en Melbourne.
