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.
I rated this location much better than Elsternwick. The service was efficient and the atmosphere was huge for a Thursday night! All of the meals are big servings and solid comfort food.

It’s a rock solid 4 for me. Radio City does Mexican better than most places I’ve tried in Melbourne. Our party of five had a rollicking good time here last night.
The restaurant is attractive from the street and inside. The interior is nicely laid out and includes numerous fun signs and pictures throughout including one featuring the current US President.
We first ordered the classic Marguerita which we all adored. An admirable example of the style and very enjoyable. Our entree was crispy shelled chicken tacos. Exactly as promised, it was a tasty taco. Next we had the quesadilla trio with beans, chicken and pulled beef. This was really delicious and flavoursome together with good rice and salad. A good share dish because it is a decent sized serve. It was very well cooked and presented. Our star dish of the night though was the prawn fajita salad. This is a cracking dish. Again, full of flavour and very generous with the prawns which were tasty fat juicy ones that sent our table into ecstasy. The prawns had been cooked very skillfully. Great caramelisation and still beautifully tender. The salad was lovely as well. Good ingredients and a nice dressing. Not sure about the authenticity but I don’t give a fig. It was delicious!
The rest of the table reported immense satisfaction with their dishes. There was a beef fajitas that looked great and especially enticing. We were offered some complimentary shots of a sweet tequila - Damiana - which was most gorgeous. We also scored an amazing taco and ice cream dessert to finish which was also delicious. I’ve never quite had anything like it but we all agreed it was a great sharing dessert.
Bouquets for all the servers here. They were very amiable, attentive and efficient and took care of us really well as did the manager who is a lovely guy. We thought the per head price was very good particularly given we had, um, a fair few drinks per head.
I only have one criticism and it’s a very small one. There seemed to be a bit of an issue coordinating the service of drinks and meals to our table. Several times three things came out and we waited up to five minutes til the remaining two emerged. I’d call this mildly irritating, particularly when everyone is itching to clink their glasses or start their meals.
To conclude, this was a terrifically enjoyable night. My expectations were well exceeded. As I said above, I’ve never thought we do Mexican that well in Melbourne. The only place that stands out as good for me is Mamasita which is modern Mexican and starting to get up there price wise. Maybe people could make some recommendations about Mexican places they think are good because I seem to have missed them.
Mexico City really delivered. Really nice atmosphere, food and service here. We had a great time. It’s a beauty.
Great service, always with a smile. Consistently good food and cocktails. Our kids love the treat at the end of the meal. This is our go to Mexican restaurant.
I’ve been here a few times and each time the food has been great! Every meal I’ve ordered has been a large portion and pretty good value for money.
Best Mexican ever. I’ve been here a few times and have always loved the food. Amazing quality and fresh ingredients. The Beef Chimichanga is my go to. The Wed- chos are amazing also. They also have a full bar and do lovely frozen Margaritas, perfect for Summer. Improvement that could be made- please hire more staff on busy nights! The staff are very friendly however it’s a nightmare to try track someone down to order. Both times have been a very long wait for someone to notice us and we’ve had to walk to the counter to order. Apart from the lack of staff this place is my favourite restaurant in Bentleigh!! Highly recommend.
I don’t think I’ve tasted better Mexican in Melbourne so far. Food is fresh,tasty and consistent. My favourite being their Paella and Chimichanga.The staff is knowledgeable and super friendly. Overall, an amazing experience always. Would highly recommend everyone.
I could not speak more highly of this place! I was happy as soon as I stepped foot in the door- cool decor (love the Frida portrait!), busy/cheerful vibe that makes me think of Mexico and amazing, friendly and helpful wait staff. I ordered a Midori Splice frozen Cocktail, nachos and the Mexican plate. The food is fresh, authentic, home made , quality cuisine. This restaurant catered very well to vegetarians and have a range of meals at different price points so everyone feels welcome there. I was there for my 23 birthday with my family and we all had a lovely night! I will definitely be coming back again!
This place was absolutely buzzing when I came here on a Wednesday night. No special deals or anything on a Wednesday, just jam packed! Nachos were great (missed the pic as we just go stuck in). I really enjoy my beef taco as well. The chicken burrito was a little different, instead of being pieces it pulled chicken. The side salad and the rice were also a little plain but overall still a good experience.
Mexico City is so popular, always make a reservation unless you don't mind bar or outdoor sitting. We started with the wed-chos (wedges+nachos) for variety. It was a crowd pleaser. The sizzling beef & chicken Fajita hot plate & lamb paella were nice, though the negra beans wasn't too popular. Still prefers the Spanish's paella 🥘
Love love love this place ! Had a great evening drinking cocktails and eating nachos, fajitas and chimichangas.
Highly recommended!! Staff super friendly , excellent and quick service.
This an awesome place to catch up with friends great drink selection & food 10/10 we had nachos to start & then fajitas, burrito, quesadilla all were perfect & the staff is great ps we love the new shop 👍
In a cold and rainy night in Melbourne, my family and I were craving a fix if nachos and all things cheesy and guacamole without the effort of course! Instead of going to our usual Mexican place we decided to go to Mexico City in Bentleigh. We satisfied our nacho, enchilada, taco and the obligatory frozen margaritas cravings. Although, our paella was different to what we usually have it was a nice dish. The staff are amazing and the only thing I would criticise would be the volume of the music but then again I'm getting old! Best nachos by far....you must try it.... crunchy corn chips, a great salsa and generous amount of cheese layered well between the corn chips and fresh guacamole and sour cream. Heaven on a plate.
Really enjoyed the sizzling plate, something different and not available at other Mexican restaurants which gives this place a point of distinction!!
We've been here a couple of times now and are always impressed with the friendly and fast service. The food comes out quickly, but you're never pressured to move on out. We've always enjoyed our tasty Mexican meals. Easy to recommend for a mid-week easy dinner out.
Amazing food amazing service and we will be back! Very accomodating for our 4 year old as well! Much better than the tex mex we have had at other restaurants.
Love love love this place. Have been here several times and never disappoints. Amazing food and drinks. The staff are also really friendly which is always a plus and makes eating here very enjoyable.
Really good! Great atmosphere and exceptionally tasting food. We were impressed and would come again. Fajitas, tacos wrapped in soft tortillas with the pulled beef were amazing.
Me and my husband went to the place this sunday.
We didnt had the booking but still the most frieny staff welcome us and make us feel comfortable.
I am a vegetarian so its always hard to get something fancy rather than veggies lol..
But in mexico city i had d best nachos and mexican vegetarian platter ...which had so many difent flavours nd textures for my palate....i just loved it...
My plate was clear in 10min 😅 nd then my frst take on churros...they were yummmm....nt tooo sweet bt perfect d way i like my sweets...
I would recommend this place for its ambience friendly staff and best mexican food....what else do i need ❤
Fantastic service, great ambience and the food is awesome and light for Mexican food, not to cheesy like other places. My whole family thoroughly enjoyed this place, we will be back for sure!!
Amazing fresh food, excellent service. Great range on the menu and a good price. $80 for two with entrees and mains and two drinks.... Full bellies, big smiles..... What more could you want!
The food is always amazing and the waitstaff are awesome! Love love love this place. You can't go by the chimmichungo and the chocolate nachos!
Best Mexican around ! Have been to Mexico City quite a few times now and every time the food has been delicious.Lots of flavours and some great healthy options like the black beans and the fajita salad. Lamb beautifully cooked for my salad.Very generous portions and lovely staff. Highly recommended !
Highly recommend! Great atmosphere with super friendly staff. Food was tasty delicious, best Mexican in Melbourne! Multitude of tequila to choose from!
Great food, fantastic service and an absolutely great vibe. This little place is fast becoming a major attraction in good ol' Bentliegh as they have the right combination of everything going on. The menu is simple as are the flavours, and everything tastes so fresh. And I just can't get enough of that salsa!!!
Best Mexican in Melbourne! Can't rate this place highly enough! Authentic, intimate setting, great vibe, exceptional service and the food is to die for!
Been here about 3 times now and it hasn't disappointed. Food is genuine, authentic and high quality. They're not trying to do anything fancy with the food, just keeping it simple with the typical Mexican flavours. Sangria is very good as well. Top marks!
Love this place. Went for our wedding anniversary. Great atmosphere. Staff are awesome! Shared an entree nachos - v generous portion. Main - pulled beef chimichanga & lamb fajitas - ordered due to waitress recommendation = delicious!! Fresh ingredients. Cocktails amazing! Would highly recommend.
Who would have thought the Mexican capital of Melbourne is in leafy Bentleigh? Amazing Mexican every time we visit. Make sure you book in advance, especially if you're coming on a Friday or Saturday night.
A hidden gem. Fantastic Mexican food that all the family will enjoy :) the staff are so friendly and the fishbowls, well they speak for themselves!
Fabulous food but not just the food it is so nice to have great friendly staff. We have had many nights there and always to great standards. Very close to Bentleigh station which is a bonus if you want a few drinks and don't want to drive luv the place.
Fantastic food and service. Great atmosphere and music, and the staff are also very nice! Thanks so much for the great night out.
I had the paella, and chimichanga. The best I've ever had!
Staff/service, food, tequila, atmosphere... this is hands down my favourite place to be/eat in the world. Take a group, eat, drink and be merry, you will not be disappointed. You won't find a restaurant that will make you feel more welcome or fill you with tastier food or drink.
Simply, these people do it right. Don't miss out.
Best Tex-Mex cuisine in Melbourne! Intoxicate your senses with refreshing potions and fulfill your comfort food fantasies with fresh ingredients and tingling flavors! The venue is cozy, the decor is relevant and the ambiance comes to live after dark. Service is efficient and friendly.
On our first visit we sampled the enchilada combinations which accompany tacos, beans, rice and flautas and are made with your choice of filling. My favorite filling was the pulled beef- slow cooked, soft with perfect seasoning. The rice is cooked al-dente with each grain cleanly separated, the melted cheese, salsa and sauces bind the dishes perfectly.
A delicious experience that really hits the spot!
I can't decide what to rave on about here first. The atmosphere is bustling and draws you in to a warm and rustic experience. The food is unbelievable, full of flavor and brilliantly presented by a staff who treat you like you are family. We always make this our restaurant of choice when we take out friends.
AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! Highly recommended for a fun or even a intimate night out. The food was full of flavour, had pleasant textures as well as a perfect serving size. I often come here with my boyfriend, a group of mates and also my family. The staff are very welcoming and friendly providing a good atmosphere. Definitely worth the travel!
Mexican Cuisine is my comfort food and Mexico City hits the satisfaction mark perfectly. The staff..amazing, attentive, friendly, and they hustle. The place is always booked because of the excellent food served, along with great drinks such as Negro Modelo and Pacifico. I've been coming here since they opened and have never been disappointed, bringing all my friends and family too.
We really enjoyed it here the food ,the service everything ! It's a small gem that serves tasty dishes. Standout dishes were the Beef chimichangas and fish tacos.There is a nice brief cocktail list with good quality offerings. This place beats other Mexicans in the area. Kids friendly too. What a great find 👍🏾 Highly recommended!
From the moment I picked up the phone to the moment I walked out this place was completely faultless! Great service all night and staff were very attentive. Service was fast and every dish that came out delivered in flavour and presentation! I loved the salsas and the perfect amount of chilli in every dish! Sangria was so alcoholic and the food was so generious! The paella had more meat then rice which is not common! Highly recommend! Place looks great inside but only if it wasn't so crammed... Hope they up grade the space because if people catch on as to how great the food is you will need more space!
This is a fantastic Mexican restaurant, the staff are friendly and fun, has a great atmosphere, as the food and drinks were brilliant!
Highly recommend.
Favourite place in melbourne. The margaritas are amazing. The food is amazing. The staff are always helpful and friendly and there is such a good vibe. Will always come back!

We walked in on a Friday night and unfortunately didn't have a booking. Luckily the staff set us up in the private room out the back for one hour before a bit party would be arriving. They even gave us blankets to help stay warm. The staff were all incredible and so friendly! The free corn chips and salsa at the start was greatly appreciated. The food we ordered came quickly. The Mexican food here is quite homely and generous in portion (for relatively low price points). Everything was nice, especially the prawn fajita salad. The flavours lacked elements of acidity and heat, which I like in my Mexican, and perhaps some textural contrast as everything seemed to be soft and soggy (even the tostado), but they were on the whole familiar and comforting. Overall you can't go passed the excellent staff and laid-back (and cheap) Mexican food.
UPDATE 3/10/2016: Returned and the staff remembered us. They were once again just incredible, so friendly and cheerful. Our group loved the food and had such a great time thanks to the staff. The churros here are so delicious!
Just popped in and managed to have the yummiest meal.Best Mexican food I have had in Melbourne. Especially the shredded beef in the Chimichanga. Yummmm !!! Top notch service. Just be prepared to wait for a table if you haven't booked. We will be back, for sure, but next time we will book! :)
Highly Recommend ! Winner !!
Amazing smallish place with great ambience.
Service is quite fast (both food and drinks). All the food was served piping hot within minutes of ordering and was all full of flavor.
We ordered some top shelf Tequila and the staff explained the history behind the particular brand/type and were very informative.
Two very friendly staff were managing the entire front of house beautifully with no customers going in and out of the doors without a 'hi' and 'thank you'
Will definitely be back.
We grabbed an early dinner on Saturday night and we are lucky to grab a table( I would recommend booking in advance) this place is amazing. 10/10 chimichanga. Food is tasty and cooked perfectly. Staff is very friendly. Good collections of beer and cocktails. Try dessert nachos and flautas. Highly recommended.
Was craving Mexican food so I started researching! I cannot fault this place. Service is excellent, food is fresh and tasty. Price is reasonable for the portion. Atmosphere is good. Non pretentious food. Glad I found this place and would be happy to come again
Good food. Great service. Occasionally forget the basics like water and napkins but the food is incredible and the staff very friendly! The beef chimichanga is my favourite.
This place has always been packed since first opening its doors and is never going to disappoint xx
The staff are friendly and professional, remembering you from previous visits, the menu is small but it boasts huge flavour and for the portion size vs price you can't go wrong . The cocktails are well priced with something for everyone.
We have been a few times recently and are never disappointed.
I am In love with there 3 combo enchilada as well as there chimichanga hehe
My friend had the burrito which he stated had huge flavour and portion was perfect.
We all shared 2 jugs of frozen margaritas that defiantly didn't lack a punch haha
Great little place with an awesome vibe and food to accommodate will be back on a regular basis

Decided to bring my partner here for her birthday! A dinner for two and a high chair quickly changed to 5 and a high chairwhen a few friends decided they wanted to come... We told the restaurant that we had to change when we got there... Was this a problem... Not at all despite how busy they were! And I knew we were in for a great night.
Before I get into the food; I must give the service an absolutely A+ they were incredible and made the night perfect and helped this restaurant get a 5 rating in my eyes!
As for food everything was great. The nachos were had for entree were absolutely perfect, sure it's not hard to make nachos but these people have mastered it! The guacamole was incredible and I'm not the biggest fan of it! I then went on to have quesilidas, and this was just out of this world; the pulled beef was just outstanding and would just melt in your mouth!
For dessert we had chocolate nachos; once again they were really nice!
It was just a perfect night; I look forward to returning!

Review of vegetarian chimichanga, and a vegetarian dish off the specials board.
The short of it; amazing food, great drinks, great place, and the best customer service.
Initially, my partner and I ordered a fishbowl to share, and our meals. A few minutes later, the waitress came up to us and informed us they had dropped the docket, and she was just getting the fishbowl made then. It was no problem at all, since we barely even noticed how much time had gone by. As an apology, she gave us an extra shot of tequila, and boy, you could tell there was an extra shot in there!
The meals were delicious. While my mantra is to always try new foods, I will always order the veg chimichanga here. It's a huge serving size, it's filling, it's delicious, and it also comes with salad and rice. Incredibly good value for money for that dish. My partner opted for something on the specials board, which came with nachos, a taco, and a burrito. He especially liked this as it was his first time eating here, and he got to taste a bit of three menu items. It was still a filling dish and he loved it.
After dinner, we stayed a while, then ordered a couple frozen margarita cocktails. All the drinks we had were delicious, and we did not for one second feel rushed to finish up and leave.
The regular waitress (who I think has been there since they opened) is always lovely and we had a great chat while paying for dinner. The customer service we received was faaantastic.
For a local to the area, I'm ashamed to say it was only my third time eating here recently. I absolutely love this place and recommend it highly. It's got a fantastic atmosphere at dinner time; energetic staff, great lighting, and always good music.
We had a great relaxed dinner here. Good was plentiful and tasty. Not quite the traditional Mexican now being produced in Melbourne but still delicious. Service was great and we were not rushed out once we had finished. Will definitely return.
Fabulous Mexican Food!!!
The restaurant is vibrant, oozing ambience; the food is authentic, well seasoned and tasty; staff friendly.
The group last night ordered:
Paellas - delicious.
Beef quesadilla - ''It was fabulous, best I have had"
Chicken/beef Chimichanga - excellent.
WedChos Wedges and nachos - scrumptious!
Recommend the "Negra Modelo" malt beer. Also the tequila.
Also the hot sauces on the table were very nice (of course this Whip snuck in Blair's Ultra Hot sauce).
Recommended!
Bloody brilliant food!! Ripping margaritas!!! Chimichanga is fantabulous. Definitely recommend. Best Mexican I've had in Melbourne, no Victoria, wait no... Australia!!!!
Best Mex food. Always represent. Love the margaritas.. The Best!!!! 😉 Can't wait for the shots with the friendly staff. Amazing environment to be in. Overall the place can't be beat. Get down and try now!! Highly recommended. 👍🏽👍🏽
This place is awesome! Awesome service, food and great friendly staff, always happy! :) this is becoming a regular spot, love the margaritas! Thanks Mexico City Bentleigh!! :)
The best Mexican food in Melbourne. Authentic and home made. They give you free tequila shots and the staff are seriously nice and sociable. Highly recommend. Everything including the margaritas are 10/10. Better than Mamasitas 😅😎
Awesome food, great service, awesome margaritas! Best place around for Mexican! The chimichanga I have ever had! I would recommend this place to anyone
Great food, Amazing service, & very friendly staff... We always have a great night at our
Local & favourite place! Must come & have a great night out.
Came here after looking at the reviews on Zomato! Was expecting decent Mexican but got a whole lot more. Food came out fresh and the meat was cooked well. Plus, the waitress was super helpful and made the experience even better! The fajita salad is a must if you are looking for something light and refreshing!
Out in the 'burbs, beautiful, fresh mexican food! There could be a little more spice, but i understand that they need to cater for the majority. Their menu is hilariously written, i had the beef burrito, and we shared their guacamole and corn chips.
We came in with a vegan and they catered to our needs, it was fantastic! Good on them, and thanks Rita(?) for our lovely service!

Sensational food and exceptional service, up there with some of the best Tex Mex places I grew up with in Texas!! Looking forward to becoming a regular!!!
Just like its counter part on Glen Huntly Road. Extremely friendly staff, delicious food that is reasonably priced.
Can't wait until our next visit that's for sure. Just delicious
Just like their sister restaurant, amazing Mexican food dished out by very friendly staff. What more could you ask?
Had the fajitas: sauces self serve onto a freshly warmed pita with a big side of beef/chicken on a sizzling plate to make the most awesome flavoured and textured fajitas known to man :). The charred flavour of the meat is complimented by the onion and capsicum that come out sizzling with it. The hot sauces top it off to really make an impression.
Very happy with the food. Staffs are very friendly and professional. I have come here many times and always satisfied with the quantity and quality of the food.
Couldn't fault the food. Delicious Mexican for an affordable price. Will definitely be coming back. Meat was tender and perfectly cooked. Cool bar, looks very trendy. Was quiet when we went, could do with more customers!
Went there last night. There was a meat eater, vegetarian and vegan in our group. They catered very well for all of us. It was really busy, but staff were great and although they warned us of a potential delay in food arriving there was none. The food was great...and honest. All dinner plates were eaten, and given there were young teenagers, this was a bonus. Umm, the Moscow Mule went down well, too.
Delicious authentic fresh no frills Mexican. Definitely a positive addition to the area. Staff are lovely and welcoming. Always a tray to go. Great margaritas.
Weekday and fully packed,a great sign in itself. Great Food,Amazing service,Kids friendly.Winner !! Need i say more.What a great find ! Both the entrees and the mains were spot on.The portions of the mains were massive .I didn’t realise they have got a courtyard and a beer garden at the back of the restaurant.Next time will book in for the beer garden for sure.Overall were very pleased. Will be back definitely
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!
Best Mexican food in Melbourne. Excellent service and such a friendly staff. Not to mention the cocktails were amazing. Thank you 😊
Best Tex mex in Melbourne. Consistently good food.
Pros: Renu best waiter in town and chicken fajitas
Cons: not open all the time
love the interior and vibes of this restaurant!
staff and service was also absolutely amazing, super fast and attentive, we ordered the beef burrito, prawn tacos, beef and chicken tacos, potato chips, beef quesadilla and beef fajita along with some drinks.
the food came out super quickly and the portions were quite large. we really enjoyed everything we ordered and definitely will be coming back !
