Frankie's Tortas and Tacos

Great place, tasty food! Everything on the menu is fantastic. I could say you could try pork or the chicken or the sandwich or tacos but in all honesty just get a bit of everything and it’s all awesome. The bees here are super cheap, eight dollars for a pint and the cocktails are also great. The place is set up like an old-school diner with rock music going on in the background. Staff friendly, I helped us pick a couple of standout dishes, but like I said, everything was great.

Pork tacos were a stand-out. Really yum. Couldn't think of anything i wanted improvement on! Chicken tacos were also good but not as good as the pork ones in terms of flavour balance. Fish tacos were interesting and I was glad to try them out but I probably wouldn't get them again since the flavour balance wasn't as good as the pork tacos. Corn chips and guacamole were better than I was expecting - would get again as well!

My favourite Mexican food in Melbourne as a vegetarian! The eggplant torta is to die for, with a great harmony of flavours, the mushroom one is great as well. the mushroom tacos are also stunning, as well as the fries- overall everything is 10/10

Great little place. Had the chicken & fish tacos which were tasty. The fish taco is fully deep fried though (including the taco) which surprised us. Don't go the fish taco if you're after a 'fresh light protein'. Horchata is a great drink consisting of rice milk and condensed milk, recommended. There were lots of other items on the menu that I'm keen to come back to try. Staff & service were great. Only knock against it

Frankies Torta and Tacos Order: Al Pastor $21 6/10 (Grilled Pork, Oaxacan Cheese, Refried Beans, Lettuce, Pickled Red Onion, Frankies Hot Sauce, Salsa and Verde) + Added Avo Pollo Torta $21 6/10 (Chicken Schnitzel, Refried Beans, Lettuce, Pickled Red Onion, Abuelita Hot Sauce and Jalepeno Mayo). Im a sucker for a good mexican feed and mexician sandwiches did get me interested. However the sandwich just didn’t hit the spot for me. The pork was nice however the temp of it was a bit on the cooler side and similar to the chicken. Found myself drizzling some of that hot sauce available to make it more explosive in flavours. The value is also quite expensive but one of these torta filled me right up. Would defs come again but would be trying the tacos. Vibes and service were on point, great blokes over there.

Meh. Pollo torta was terrible. Chicken way overcooked, unseasoned and, as a whole, dry as a bone. I tried my partner’s pork torta and same impression. Cold brew coffee with horchata was good, but won’t be back for food.

The food is always an absolute winner here, I’ve been visiting since it was a food truck. Wait staff are nice and service is quick. Controversial, I don’t like the venue as much as the food truck vibe. I think it’s crowded and stuffy. The tables are too close together, you’re way too close to whoever’s next to you, the bar stools are awkward and uncomfortable and oh you want to leave before the couple next to you? No you don’t. Your ass is going to be in their face and you awkwardly squeeze on past. It’s decorated in a cool retro diner kind of way and they sell some pretty expenny merch, but hey no one’s forcing you to buy it lol. But also omg f-ck sitting on that horrible tiny corner table that does not fit two people. The chips and guac is absolutely delicious- it’s fried corn chips and guacamole whos going to hate on that??? Horchata and the fish tortas are a great time, I think about them daily. The mushrooms tacos are good, but it needs the lime and the last few times it’s been served without. I wish you could mix n match tacos.

Fantastic, authentic atmosphere and super friendly staff. Food is delicious although too sweet. Great selection of agave distillates and other spirits. Great selection of authentic non alcoholic drinks such as horchata and tepache. Toilets are unisex and not great but not that bad either.
