Taqueria Sin Nombre

Absolutely delicious! I've been a fan of the Dingo Ate My Taco crew for a long time, and this is such a great evolution. Every ingredient is so well thought out and vibrant. I loved the kanga. I love the ceviche. The Vampiro was such a mouth party. And the ribeye tacos were cooked to perfection. The dining room was a really nice, cozy vibe. You're never more than a few metres away from the chefs, so you get to see everything made in front of you (and if you're lucky, you can see them rolling new tacos with their fancy imported machine). We did have to initially queue for about an hour, but it was seriously worth it.

We ordered beer with tomato juice (michelada-style), which was amazing. We tried almost all the food on the menu, and it was so good that we went back two days in a row. I will definitely come back again before returning to Dubai — the food is absolutely excellent. They make their taco bread fresh in-house, and even the tortilla chips are homemade, which really shows the quality and care they put into their food. The service is very fast, and the staff are extremely nice and friendly. Unfortunately, I don’t have photos of all the dishes, but everything we tried was excellent. The only thing to note is that the restaurant is very small, and the line outside can get quite long. On our second day, we waited almost 2 hours, but honestly, it was totally worth it.

Taqueria Sin Nombre is a new taco spot tucked away in a hidden alleyway, a sister restaurant of Dingo Ate My Taco. The vibe and interior are really cool and laid back, fitting perfectly in Chinatown. The staff at the entrance are bubbly, and with several Mexican workers on the team, it genuinely feels authentic. You can watch the taco bread being made in front of you, giving it an open-kitchen feel, almost like sitting at a wine bar counter it kept me engaged while waiting for the food. As for the food, there were definite highs and lows. Some tacos were under-seasoned maybe intentionally, since there’s a toppings section where you can add your own sauces but personally, those weren’t enjoyable for me. The chicarron, fried crispy skin with guac, was tasty and not overly oily, good to nibble on while waiting, but nothing extraordinary. From the taco menu, the TOMBO options stood out. I tried the Vampiro and the pork one (not sure exactly name) and found both meats tender with good flavor. The prawn taco had solid flavor with mayo but was pretty standard. The rib eye was a bit thin and underseasoned, even after adding sauce, and felt like it was missing a flavor profile. Brisket was my favorite very tender, melt inyour mouth texture. The kanga asado was very chewy and didn’t have much flavor, so I didn’t enjoy it. I also tried a quesadilla that looked like a fried empanada inside had beans and other fillings, but it was very mid. One item I found interesting was a taco with a crispy shell, eaten like a taco sandwich — the crunch and flavor worked well together and made for an interesting texture. Overall, it’s a spot with some standout tacos, some misses, and a unique vibe that makes it worth checking out if you’re exploring Chinatown.

Dios Mio! Taqueria Sin Nombre, the taco shop without a name, has truly made a name for itself. A secluded taco place in the middle of Chinatown being this amazing and punchy? Oh my God indeed. Gotta say, I hate waiting for a restaurant, especially when it’s tucked away in an alley near a trash bin. But that wait? It paid off….. Their tortillas are amazing. The right amount of fluff without being chalky, and almost every protein is executed well. Looking for salsa verde? There’s an entire section for you to choose from. My recommendation: order the Gringa, Vampiro, and Shrimp Tacos. Every bite of the ones I mentioned has body, a well made tortilla, and amazing filling. So what can be improved? While the highs are up there, a few of their tacos could be better especially the Ribeye and the Beef Tongue, both lack body in the bite. Taste? Still got em. Maybe replacing them with Carne Asada would be better. In the end we devoured 4 rounds of food and enjoyed the restaurant’s vibe and incredibly friendly staff.

Amazing tacos, great music, and a cozy atmosphere. We arrived around 5:15 PM on a Thursday and were seated straight away. By the time we finished, the queue outside was easily 30 metres long — the hype is real. We tried most of the menu, and my favourites were the lengua and the al pastor with cheese (don’t remember the exact name, but a must-try). Worth the hype, and definitely worth the wait — even though we got lucky and didn’t have to.

Review from an authentic Mexican girl. This place is the best place to eat Mexican food in Melbourne. Bad reviews are from non Mexican people who don’t know what our cuisine actually tastes like or are in the wrong place looking for a different kind of experience. Taqueria sin nombre should have a 5 star review any day of the week. Thanks for taking me back to a happy place that reminds me of my Mexico lindo y querido. Be prepared to wait in line, but be sure you won’t be disappointed. Every detail of this place has been perfectly thought through. Can’t wait to go back and try the vampiro tacos. I took my husband and we had: Totopos with guacamole Mulita de chorizo Tacos al pastor Tacos de ribeye Brisket costra Margaritas Michelada

So excited to have this addition to the city. The tacos are some of the best around. I especially loved the al pastor and the ribeye, which is a limited-run special. The brisket costra is also delicious - could rival any barbecue spot. For snacks, don’t go past the smoked chicken skin chicharron with guac. There isn’t alcohol yet but the venue should be licensed soon. Either way, it’s a cosy, intimate space for some food or drinks.

I truly felt this restaurant is Melbourne’s best taco shop, with tacos served on different tortillas according to the main ingredients and showcasing great attention to detail. The staff approached solo diners in a friendly, unobtrusive way, engaging in light conversation and naturally gathering feedback. The music, atmosphere, food, and service were all excellent. I’d love to see more Melbourne restaurants that exude this kind of love for food and professionalism. I’ll be visiting again with friends soon.
