There are hardly any good places in melb for mexican, but this place just blowed me away. There food is simply put AUTHENTIC MEXICAN. It is soo full of flavour, just the right amount of everything.
Portion sizes are huge as well, all in all it is a must visit.
Delicious food. Helpful and friendly staff. I always get the sizzling fahijtas (keto friendly) and I enjoy them so much. Great to go on a date, with friends or with the family. Theres even a kids menu available !
A great place for mexican food. The ambience is good and so is the service.
+ Decent parking
+ Vegetarian options
+ Authentic mexican food
+ Salsa is fantastic
+ Happy to customise dishes to suit the vegetarian palate
- Wait times can be long at times
- Spice levels are inconsistent
- Price point doesn't make it a preferable joint
Final Word: Good food. The service and food, while good, will leave you wanting to explore other places just to see if the quality, service and price are comparable. Do visit if you can. The vegetarian options make it personal preference for mexican food.
My husband and I have been to Nachos Cantina many times in the last few years. While I have tried many of their dishes, I always go back to my personal favourite, flautas (with beef). Our most recent visit was a couple of weeks ago, my beef flautas were as good as I remembered. The slow-cooked beef was very tender and the fried tortilla was perfect. My husband ordered the Acapulco Trio, which has 3 enchiladas (2 pulled pork and 1 beef) and 1 beef taco. It was great, although we both think the pulled pork was better than the beef. I also ordered a Splice margarita, however I found it to be a bit average. I could barely taste the melon and coconut liqueurs (or any alcohol at all), and it just tasted like a nondescript mocktail.
While this time we were very full and didn't order dessert, we have had their Chocolate Nachos in the past. It was too sweet for us. But if you have a big sweet tooth and want an impressive-looking dessert, you might like it.
The service during our most recent visit was a bit slow, but the restaurant was very busy and it seemed they were short-staffed that day. We don't go there very often now as it's quite far from where we live, but it's still a good restaurant offering food with consistent quality.
So excited to have found this place and really dissappointed I hadn't found it sooner! My partner and I did the 'feed me' special and couldn't believe how much food we got for that price. The food and cocktails were so yum, and the dessert was amazing. Along with the fantastic customer service, this has become one of my favourites.
Really love this place! The atmosphere is lovely and the staff are great. Food is extremely tasty and certainly on my list of top mexican joints. The Nachos are delicious and well covered in gauc, salsa and sour cream! I've added the chicken burrito before but my fav thing to get is the Street Tacos. They are 7 bucks each, and I always get three as a main meal. 21 bucks for a variety of delicious soft shells tacos is pretty good to me! I order the pork, chicken and fish. Delish! Their Fruit Tingle cocktail was good too. A favorite that I'll return to!
I have always driven past here when I use to live in mount waverley and finally decided to go try it with a group of friends. The portion size could be a bit larger for the price . I got the combination is plate which gives you a sample of different menu items . The food was tasty but it was very westernized
We went last night this place was buzzing so many people coming & going wow 😳
We had nachos to start very good & then burrito de mar great size dish with real prawns 🍤 & texas chilli 🌶 burrito great sauce & of cause margaritas great service & great food 8/10
La combination is really good because you get a bit of everything - beef enchilada was my favourite from that dish.
Also ordered the chicken quesadilla which was just as delicious! Definitely coming back to explore the other dishes from the menu.
Be sure to book a table before you come (especially on Friday/weekend) as it can get pretty busy.

I am a sucker for good mexican food and Nachos Cantina Mount Waverley, is one of my absolute favorite mexican places. I would recommend this place to everybody! DO TRY!
I have had my birthday dinners there for 4 years consequently and will continue to do so. Unlike most places, their split bills makes it easier for everyone and makes the experience wonderful!
My only problem with this place is that the back end of the restaurant is way too dark and needs some more lighting.
