Went here for a birthday, booked a couple of weeks in advance via their online booking, called a few days out to confirm and there was no booking recorded, no problem they said they had no bookings so put us in. The initial service was very good, waiter was pleasant. The food was given to 3 of our 4 guests... More

Have been going to these regularly for a few years now (there are 4 in and around Melbourne). Carlton has always been the pick of the bunch for quality and service but tried the cbd recently. Where the value and quality has always been there they have now decided to shrink the mains and make more items a 'side'. Now... More

Consistently good food and service at the Carlton venue. At the new one in Hardware Lane the food is good but not as good but the service is excellent.

I ordered an enchilada. Being from a California/Mexico Mexican food background, I don't often like what Australians serve as Mexican... I mean, sweet chili sauce on baked beans? This food was excellent. The beans, usually such a disappointment even when they are not baked beans ~ were to die for. My beef enchilada was so good that I can still... More

My absolute fave is the Chilli con Queso - it is rather pricey but just gorgeous! Strangely I often find the home delivered food better than in the restaurant. I'm not sure why - but it's great to have quality mexican delivered.

This place was once really good but these days I would waste my time going there, the meals are half the size and the huge turn over in staff just creates confusion and nexted up orders. I made a booking a week in advance, and ring to confirm a day before.Turned up the place was full and they just looked... More

A very Australian version of Mexican... i asked if I could have some salsa with my Fajitas which is what adds spice to Mexican but was told salsa doesn't go well with Fajitas?! Very nice ambiance though!

they served generous portion of their super awesome hearty filling mexican meal!!! the chimichanga was awesome and their signature burritos give a twist from their traditional burrito counterpart. they provide a great variety of cocktails. if you're in a group, get a liter of sangria and (I'm sure) you'll ask for more.
