Great vegetarian food, vegan options. It's not obvious from the outset that it is vegetarian so during my visit I saw a few people sit down and then leave after looking at the menu!
Food is good, typical burritos, quesadillas, nachos etc no meat, the corn (elote) was my favourite. Can't complain about the price.
Food was good, it’s your standard Mexican but is very heavy on being vegetarian/vegan based. A very neat touch. I’d personally rate the food at 4 stars but what got it at 5 stars was the exceptional service. Workers are amazing and powered through the busy period even though the restaurant was as hot as outside. Good on them, they did an awesome job. Much respect, especially to the blond woman with the white shirt (didn’t know the name, sorry). Thanks for the experience!
Best Tacos and Nachos ever had in Melbourne
We had the Elote and the Nutella churros. Corn was grilled well and flavorful. The churros can’t be compared to the ones in Mexico but still yum. Would go back but only if in the area.
Friendly, welcoming staff with fast service.
My Special Quesadilla arrived hot and smelled delicious. They didn't skimp on the guacamole – a rarity these days! – and the ingredients tasted high quality and fresh.
However, it needed more salsa, as the beans are quite bland on their own. It also needed a more even distribution of ingredients, since you end up with mouthfuls of only beans towards the end.

Trippy Taco in St Kilda is a gorgeous location. Love the feel and colours, inside and outside.
I tried:
- Horchata - YUMMO!
- Nachos - cheesy, covered in yummy salsa, sour cream and guac!
- Chargrilled tofu tacos - absolutely delicious, love the corn tortilla too!
- Churros and chocolate sauce was the perfect dessert for the day!
The best thing about all the amazingly yummy food : it was all VEGAN! So cool.
The service and vibe at Trippy Taco is nice too. Would definitely love to try more menu items in the future, and maybe a cocktail or 2!

Good vegan option for those craving Mexican. Just a short walk from St.Kilda beach. Little slow on the service but great food nonetheless with really friendly staff. Filling tofu burrito, the right level of spice - And the Trippy fries! Love them!
I've been to the Gertrude Street Trippy Taco several times but only just tried the St.Kilda location - I think I love it even more! The space is larger than the other spot and has great interior decor with just the right amount of kitsch. I tried their horchata on this visit, which I hadn't had since I was a kid. I'd never even seen it in Australia til now, but am so delighted to have found an option that's as good as I remember. I sampled the nachos, which I've had before but will never get tired of, as well as the tofu taco, which was new to me. It has a really nice, smoky flavour complemented by fresh veg to brighten it up. For dessert, I had churros with vegan chocolate sauce (which is more akin to a hot choc pudding). It's hard to do a fried stick of dough wrong, but Trippy Taco do it very right.
Trippy Taco's story is as much fadcinating as the vegetarian fare they serve. It's one of the best vegetarian dining spaces in Melbourne...Which is very rare since some of the most famous vegetarian restaurants have been very bad according to us.
Our absolute favorite was Taquitos. Omg! The crunch, the flavors and guacamole. Quesadillas and Butter Garlic Roasted corn on knob with mayo was the second best. What simply added charm to the whole experience was the Sangria . Not even the very authentic spanish restaurants in Melbourne can do it right.
Value for money!!
This is such a cheerful place! Great decor, decorated and fun cocktails and delicious food. The service was lovely and friendly too. I found the food here much tastier than their other location. Would definitely recommend!
