Came in for dinner on 13 January 2020 we ordered a non-alcoholic mojito, a Tommys margarita, the fish tacos and the prawn paella.
Firstly for the non-alcoholic mojito we were charged $16 which was the same price as the alcoholic mojito; I was quite disappointed in this because I didn’t see this until I looked at my receipt today. The non alcoholic mojito was very refreshing and sweet. The Tommys margarita was very sour and hit my taste buds in the right spots, I love a nice sour lemon drink. The fish tacos were absolutely amazing, I highly recommend them. This was shortly followed by the prawn paella; which was out of this world. If you guys love Mexican I highly recommend this place. They only lost a point for Mexico city was because I was charged for a alcoholic beverage when I ordered a mocktail. In most places they only charge $10. Honestly is a hidden little gem in Bentleigh.
Really lovely restaurant with a nice vibe! The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavour. The portion sizes were a bit small for what you pay for. The fishbowl and jugs of frozen margaritas are good value for money. The salsa was nice and spiced and added a good kick to the dishes. The chimichanga was crunchy and a highlight dish. The wedges were delicious and had lots of sauce on top! The food took a while to come out and one dish wasn’t out through even though we double checked the order. Overall a lovely meal with flavoursome dishes.
We came here for an office Christmas party. I ordered the Mexico on a plate which had a little bit of everything to taste. The food was yummy, well-balanced and a generous portion. The staff were friendly and patient.
Mexico City does that thing where you think the food doesn't look all that impressive when it arrives at your table, but then you start eating and you realise it's great. The Dear Luncher managed some nachos and a naked burrito. The pulled beef on both of these items was tremendous. A really cosy spot for a late night feed in Bentleigh.
Had the most delicious food ever! Also went through three wait staff and each one was so so lovely. There was slight confusion with the booking (even though it made no difference to us) so they ended up giving us complimentary chocolate nacho desert... was sooo tasty. Overall just unreal service and great food.
My favourite Mexican and the fact that it’s local makes it even better !!!
Their food is full of flavour, their tacos are my fave along with their margaritas and best of all they offer non alcoholic margaritas too so the kids get to enjoy
Make sure you ring ahead and book as they are always packed !!
One of the greatest restaurant in Melbourne. Place might be small but the food is big in flavour and size! Nachos sauce is so good and cheesy. Tacos are great snack size and very tasty. Quesadillas are not in a shape that we had in mind but still great and beef is soft too.
Excellent service on a crowded Friday night so make sure you pre-book. I had a beautiful prawn salad that was cooked just nice. Others had chimichangas, fajitas and tacos and said they were nice. Will return to try other dishes on menu. So wonderful to have a Mexican diner in the ‘urbs.
Though there is higher caliber Mexican food around at the same cost point, this is more on the side of comforting and a bit naughty which is a-okay with me. Staff were really friendly and the layout was cozy but vibrant. Had a great experience spending my anniversary here and will definitely be back for more.
Been here a few times. Food is always delicious. Servings are generous and I always over order. Very child friendly. Always busy so book a table.
Absolutely outstanding food and service!
As soon as you walk through the door at Mexico City in Bentleigh you are treated like family. The owners are pretty much always there and even the junior staff are friendly, outgoing and attentive.
The food was incredible. Taco's, Burritos and the Chimichanga (deep fried burrito) were outstanding. Perfectly cooked and so much flavour!
The Prawn Paella was also a fave and the Prawns were cooked to perfection.
Will be going back!
