One of the best places for bottomless brunch and Mexican treats! Great value for money - $59 for unlimited cocktails (Mexi prosecco anyone?) and a 5 course meal with incredible modern Mexican dishes (the chicken wings will change your life).
Funky, cool brunch spot in Melbourne’s competitive foodie scene. For the very reasonable price of $58pp you get a 5 course tasting menu and drinks. Our drinks were filled up straight away and they all tasted great. The food was nice but even though it was great Mexican food, a number of dishes were hard to eat; the tacos, corn and chicken tortilla chips were nice but messy. Decor is really good, and there’s a young brunch crowd.

Bodega underground is great if you want to enjoy some authentic Mexican food!
We were a little worried about having to have the set menu (we were a large party of 11) and some are fussy eaters BUT the food selection did not disappoint!
Drinks kept flowing, waitress looking after us was amazing and added a few extra dishes for us.
The corn was so amazing! Something I probably would have never ordered but would go back for!
Honestly no negative feedback other than how dark it was in there and by the time I hit food coma stage - i could of fallen asleep 😂
Be sure to book in advance as it is a small establishment.
We've been here a number of times and thoroughly recommend the tasting menu (although do go hungry, we actually turned one course away the last time, we were so full), the cocktails and the bottomless brunch. It's a pleasure to go with The Vegetarian, as there are complete vegan options, and I can still carnivore at will, which make the whole experience painless.
I love Mexican food and bodega underground lived upto my expectations. Absolutely loved their mushroom tacos. A friend of mine had their fish tacos as well and couldn't stop praising it. Amazing options at the bar as well. Would keep coming here again and again.
After all my years of hunting, I’ve finally found Melbourne’s best fish tacos. Crispy, juicy and packed with flavour, Bodega Underground’s fish tacos put all other fish tacos to shame. Serving up Mexican inspired cuisine, with its postered covered walls, Mexican trinkets and funky Cantina vibe, Bodega Underground is a little slice of Mexico right in the CBD.
Atmosphere: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Came here with my colleagues so basically 4 of us. I had the small size apple cider to start with. Their apple cider is really nice, not too sour for my liking.
Start with totopos with guacamole! Both guacamole really tasty, and the texture are on point.
Had elote! Corn on cob for 1 each! The mayo is the highlight of this dish! Totally recommend
Then to the main we had the tacos
2 fish tacos
2 mushrooms
2 pork
I had the fish tacos which i do recommend
And the mushrooms which just ok for me! :)

Popped into Bodego Underground on a Thursday night and the venue was packed. Luckily we booked a table because at one stage the line was out the door. Staff were nice and helpful. This restaurant is 100% Gluten Free so perfect for the Coeliacs.
What we ordered:
Elote
Pollo Mexicano
Totopos w/ guacamole
Tacos De Pescado
Carnitas
Taco Campechanos
The Elote (corn cobs) were to die for. They were jam packed with flavour and had us wanting more. The Pollo Mexicano (fried chicken) and Totopos w/ guac were both great editions to the staring menu. The sauce that accompanied the fried chicken was spiced to a tolerable level and work well with the dish. In relation to the tacos we ordered the pork, pork & chorizo and fish tacos. Let’s say all of these were demolished. The food is so clean, cooked to perfection and had us leaving content.
We are coming back!
I have been here a few times with friends and the food was delicious, good vibes and waitress/waitors always friendly, polite and attentive despite being so busy!
On my last visit I had booked (I recommend booking as it can get very busy) for a table of 8, however as we were all running late so I rung to notify staff and see if we could still keep our table. As the restaurant plays such loud music it was hard to hear what they were saying on the other side of the phone, and all in all there was a misunderstanding whereby we completely lost our table and I was stuck with 8 hungry people on a busy Saturday night.
So I would just like to suggest for the person on the phone handling bookings to have a quiet place to talk to avoid something so little ruin a delicious dinner
Really cool Mexican place, partly underground and dimly lit so has a bit of a bar vibe. I got the mushroom and black bean tacos, both were really delish with lots of flavour!
This place is a hidden gem in Chinatown. Very nice underground vibe restaurant, files with posters on the walls and graffiti all over.
Their bottomless brunch is amazing, offering you five traditional Mexican dishes with limitless drinks. And it is really bottomless, the quick service always make sure to get your refill as fast as possible. Great experience! Will definitely come back.
Now there is a groovy Mexican place to visit. With very knowledgeable staff that will take you through a journey of quite different tasting tequilas. When you add some tasty food to the mix you will have a great time. If you want to make sure to get a table you better book since walk in gets frequently turned away.
We came here for their bottomless brunch, a 5-course Mexican brunch with bottomless cocktails ($69), which happens every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
The place is small and can get packed super quickly, so you must book a table. The time slot you get is 90 minutes, where they will serve the food whenever it is ready, and you need to order the cocktails.
I loved the food, and the drinks were super impressive! Before I knew it, I had 5 Bloody Orange Spritzes. They were out of this world!
I am definitely coming back again.

I really enjoyed Bodega Underground. The atmosphere was very good. The food was very excellent. Had the bottomeless brunch with some friends the other day.
The corn was just so mouthwatering. The toppings for it was perfect. Drinks were yum. The churros were fantastic and dipping sauce was to die to for.
Overall it was a very excellent and well priced experience. Ill definitely try to go back!
I had late night cravings for Mexican food last week and came across this restaurant called Bodega Underground
Tried their:
Carnitas (Pork) ($13)
Tacos de Pescado (Fish) ($14)
Chucho’s House Lager ($12)
I was surprised How good the tacos are and realised why it was so busy considering it was almost 12am that time. So make sure to book a table ahead of time because it gets pretty busy, we are sitting at the bar 😭
Will definitely be back again
Corn was the star. This place will need to be booked well in advance especially for dinner. I recommend getting the feed me menu as you'll get a taste of most of their menu for actually a good price.
Great little Mexican bar/small restaurant. Very busy and lively. Loved the horchata with rum! I drank them out of horchata :-) also the churros were next level delicious. Maybe best ever.
