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.

Had the pre dinner theatre package. Only received 1 free drink as they didnt have much to chose from. Food was nice but nothing to rave home about. Pretty basic but a lot of food which was great.

Service is bad and unprofessional staff require training thats for sure. Food was OK, the corn was really good and the quantity of the 'feed me'was really good. But I have never been to a dirtier restaurant in my life. There was so much grease built up in the floors my chair was sliding around, the floors are black!!!!! The toilets are feral I think public toilets are cleaner, you feel dirtier coming out than going in. I don't want to begin to imagine what the kitchen looks like. The cocktails were GREAT!

Love the vibe of this place! Staff were great, food and drinks are so yummy and arrive quickly. I think the bottomless is such great value for money and LOVED that I never had to flag anyone down to order my next drink, the staff were always on to it! Love love love

Impeccable service and amazing food. You cannot beat the flavours, and it will leave you craving to come back for more. I recommend 3 dishes between 2 people to get an adequate feed

Fish taco: A bit bland, was lacking some flavour. Birria taco: Very meaty, dipping sauce could’ve been more flavoursome. Churros: Amazing 10/10. Corn: Best corn I’ve ever eaten, Parmesan and lemon/lime flavour was amazing.

They had a problem in the kitchen with the glasses and for that reason they did not serve drinks for about 20 minutes and when they complained they did not solve anything
