Melbourne Mexican

Melbourne is known as the Food Capital of Australia and for good reason, it has a diverse population from all over the world bringing their food culture along with them. Mexican food is the latest food craze to hit Victoria and in particular, Melbourne.

MoVida Terraza

Even the team behind MoVida is getting in on the action, using their trademark Spanish cuisine skills to make room for the Mexican craze. Taking inspiration from Mexican street food, Paco’s Tacos occupies the former site of MoVida Terraza, with a new fit-out and redesign by extraordinaire, Joost Bakker.

The menu is dominated by you guessed it - the hearty taco - all set at $6 a taco with specialties including the pulled pork and braised beef tacos. Other Mexican favourites such as nachos and barbequed corn also get a look in with Mexican beers, exotic cocktails and wine also available.
