Price: Expensive
• Mexican • Melbourne CBD
Booked 14 times today
Finding harmony between authenticity and originality is something that first ignited the flame at Mesa Verde back in 2013 and continues to feed it today. While it’s fairly evident that an affinity for Mexican food and agave spirits is at the helm of what we do, our city’s rank on the culinary frontier has brought with it a particular nose for experimentation. So, since we’re very literally in the heart of Melbourne up here on the sixth floor of Curtin House, high above the city’s jugular Swanston Street, we feel it’s our responsibility to highlight what Mexican dining (and drinking) looks like in the eyes of the modern Melburnian. $10 Margaritas 4pm - 6pm daily.

    The Peking duck was great (as it should be, being a Peking duck restaurant). The other dishes we ordered were very tasty and very authentic. We reserved a table on a busy Friday night for 10 pax and they squeezed us onto a smaller table (luckily we had 2 small children and 1 person not attend - it was still tight). All the food we ordered couldn't fit at the same time. Not much service - order via QR code (which is not a problem), but we had to flag down the wait staff (not that easy to do) about 5 times to refill our water jug.

    Love going here before going to see a sports game. Being on top of Melb central makes it easy for the group to meet then travel to the games. Love the happy hour. Wish the Friday fish and chip special was extended to 8pm. Love to see a Guinness happy hour too 😃

    Lovely hidden spot, located on the 2nd floor on Lonsdale. Staff service was friendly Food was nice, although my partner and I were still hungry after selecting a set combo each. Extra meat was a bit on the pricey side. Otherwise, a nice ambience, with all customers forward facing the grill with accessible condiments to pair with the food stored a top the seating. Authentic cuisine, for an average dinner for 2, with 2 beverages and a few +extras, expect to spend under $120.
