    Unfortunately the service wasn’t great, after our order was taken no one came to check on us or ask if we needed anything else. Shame, as we were keen to try more cocktails, but left feeling a bit underwhelmed.

    Understaffed considerimg how musy it was for a Wednesday night. The owner was sitting at the bar right near the kitchen. The kitchen rang the bell for 3 times when the food was ready, all the floor staff were busy taking order from other tables. The owner does not move at all and ended up letting the kitchen staff to serve the food to the floor. Whacking the vibe. Go do your laptop at home if you're not gonna work at your own workplace.

    This place has a lovely feel-good buzz about it. The margaritas are excellent and they have an impressive range of tequilas and mezcals. The menu is relatively limited focusing on tacos, enchiladas and guacamole but it’s interesting and feels authentic. Not the usual mainstream Mexican. Special shout out for the zucchini tacos, which are amazing. The churros are also noteworthy. On a busy night you might have to wait a little for service, fair enough. The staff are friendly.

    My partner and I have had plenty of Mexican meals over the years at various restaurants and cantinas. I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that food we had was some of the best, if not the best, Mexican cuisine meal we have ever had. All the starters we had (at the recommendation of the server) was fantastic, and they were followed by exceptionally good tacos. As someone who can't handle tonnes of spice, everything we had was perfectly balanced to give enough heat to add to the flavour without making me need to reach for a sweat towel! We are also constantly on the hunt for the best churros around, and the churros we had for dessert were outstanding. All the service staff were very friendly, and the vibe in the covered back garden area was a lot of fun. We will certainly be back soon!

    The food was excellent, the wait staff were adequate. However, I book a table for my husband’s birthday a weeek and a half in advance and got a table right at the front next to the main door and we felt the cold wind every time someone came in or went out. Also, they did ignore completely the fact that I had noted that it was my husband’s birthday. They did not make it special, nor gave him a candle with his dessert as I kindly requested. I was very upset but could not say anything because obviously I did not want to ruin my husband’s special day!

    I love, love, love Los Amantes! The starters are to die for (omg how did I not know about cactus salad all my life until coming here) and the fish tacos are like eating pure beer battered happiness. I also really like the wait staff. I truly think it's the best (and most authentic) Mexican restaurant in Melbourne.
