ordered vegan taco flight and few other side dishes on special. their tacos are delicious; everything else was ok. good selection of drinks list too.
Really enjoyed our evening here. Excellent tortilla chips, awesome margaritas and great tacos that are good value too. Good music and vibe. We’ll definitely be back
Best Mexican in Melbourne (and we've tried them all). Big, authentic flavours and super friendly service.
Fantastic experience!! The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were super attentive and friendly. The decor is lovely and inviting (great tunes too!) I came with a group of 12 and we all absolutely loved the whole experience. So much care goes into the food and the service. Love, love, love!
This place is vibes central.
I am not sure what the low average rating is about.
My partner and I hit this up last night. It seems like they're still feeling it all out as new kids on the block but everything was well on its way to becoming a top notch Mexican eatery.
They had a diverse, exciting menu despite it not yet being too extensive however what we settled on was absolutely exceptional. Eggplant tacos, a nacho sharing dish of some description and the roasted sweet potato.
The crew running the place were quirky and welcoming. They were still getting used to all the dietary requirement questions but were more than happy to find out and were able to. The selection of tequilas and mezcal was great to see (and sample).
Ignore the 3.4/5 (at time of writing), this is a 4.5+

Went for dinner last Saturday night. Even before arriving my girlfriend and I were super excited just knowing the tortillas are made in-house by hand (the key to a good taco)!
We had:
Ceviche - lovely and fresh. I would say a bit more creamy than citrusy but that’s just compared to what I’ve previously had. Delicious.
BBQ’d octopus - this was a really nice surprise in terms of flavour. Smoky and chargrilled flavours paired with some jalapeños.
Lamb ribs - Amazing! Don’t come here and not get these. The fat is rendered perfectly and the flavours just smack you in the face. I don’t even like lamb that much but these were 10/10.
Taco flight - All really good. The oonly thing I would say is the texture of the pumpkin taco was a bit smooshy but my girlfriend really liked it so. The steak one is the best in my opinion.
And the waiter threw in a chargrilled corn on the house because he accidentally served us two taco flights instead of just the one that we ordered (customer service ✅). Safe to say I didn’t want to share. It was so flavorsome, drizzled over was some delicious adobo sauce and cheese.
Cocktails were also pretty good.
Will be back to eat the rest of the menu!
I welcome any new Mexican restaurant, but a joint that makes handmade tortillas i will welcome even more! Loved it modern Mexican with a relaxed vibe, Had some delicious tri-tip steak with the tortillas and a was definitely not disappointed. Good range of beers & tequila, will definitely be back
The care that goes into the food is awesome, and the fact that the tacos are handmade makes it even better. Definitely order the broccoli - it's next level, and the churro's are a must have! Great atmosphere, and fabulous staff top off the experience.
So impressed with our first visit. The tortillas are made on premises and so fresh! A good range of interesting wines by the glass and the taco flight had amazing flavours and was good value.

What a fabulous place. From the minute we arrived and taken through the menu, we knew it was going to be great. Friendly service is easy to deliver yet hard to find, not the case at Taquito. A big shout out to Wanita who was fabulous with her suggestions. The corn was just like the street style in Mexico, amazing. Great margaritas and a mezcal style margarita was special. Tacos are a must and they have a great selection. Love this place and we will be back again.
Friendly service. The fish tacos is definitely a must try that we got a second serving. Beer was good as well. We had the oysters but felt that it was a miss given the price. Overall, definitely recommend this place.

Located in Carlton is this gorgeous Mexican gem 🤍
What we had:
🌽 BBQed sweet corn
🥵 Twice Fried Potatoes
💕 Tacos: braised beef, baja crispy fish, chorizo, baja avocado
✨ Guacamole de la abuelita with totopos 🥑
Highlights of the meal included the twice fried potatoes, even though they were soaked in sauce they were incredibly crispy! The corn was epic and had an unreal kick to it 🌶
The tortilla chips and tortillas used for the tacos are both made in house so you get the ultimate treatment- nothing was a let down.
Service was also very attentive and did not let us down at all 💕
Overall rating: 5/5 🔥 will return for sure!

Amazing Mexican food. The cerviche kingfish sashimi with habanero dressing along with the plantain was excellent. The beetroots with mole was sublime, the scallops were dressed in a beautiful corn spicy sour sauce. The two tacos (fish and moradillo sausage) were amazing. The flan was excellent, churros and corn cake were excellent. Would recommend this place as a value grunge (like Kaprica) type restaurant!
Start off with the crispy tortillas and guacamole, try the pescado on a soft freshly made taco, and finish with a meringue pie with burnt corn husks. Ask Jake for a fresh wine recommendation. We had a blanco garnache from Catalan, fruit, lemons& crisp. This little taquitos in Carlton is a worthy stop for a little adventure in Mexican food.
Awesome place. Great food, drinks, vibe and service. I have been recommending Taquito widely
Nice bar for some tapas and drinks. Food was quite nice Though the mexian/Spanish menu was a challenge. Very nice non alcoholic drinks also! I would recommend the rice and almond Drink highly.
