Taquito

📍Taquito, Carlton - 3.9 ⭐️ out of 5. Yummy cute tacos here at Taquito with CEVICHE OF THE WEEK EACH AND EVERY WEEK (I am a huge ceviche fan if you can’t tell). We had the: ➖Papas fritas - twice cooked potatoes with salsa roga ($18) ➖2 flights of tacos ($30 each, 4 tacos per flight) The salsa roja on the potatoes was sooo yum and they were super generous with the amount of sauce! The potatoes were crispy and delicious and it was a great sized serving! I’ve tried multiple tacos here and honestly like them all! I also love how they always give you some hot sauce. The tacos are a little small, but I love this means you can then get different types to share. Maybe a little spenny for $30 for 4, but not outrageously. I’ve also had the ceviche here (obvs) and the guacamole and chips and have liked them all. Super fun vibe with a bar at the front and more seating at the back. Lovely staff. A bit spenny but as to be expected in Carlton. Overall 3.9 ⭐️ out of 5.

Service was exceptionally friendly, we order the siesta as we wanted to indulge for date night. Every dish was delicious and great portions. Our least favourite was the steak as delicious it could be, steak is always hard to get right anywhere in Melbourne. Overall the food was very tasty and putting the house made hot sauce was 👌!

Lucky enough to go on Monday night for $5 tacos. They were amazing. We had all the meat ones and the flavours were superb. The guacamole was perfect and the goat Quesabirria; something we’ve never had before was delicious. Our waiter was also excellent and fun. So this was perfect and probably too cheap!

Awesome restaurant. I’ve been here twice now and the food is still as good as the last time I visited them. My favorite dish is always their papas fritas. I don’t know what they put in it, but it’s so addictive and really good. The tacos are awesome as always, but they do run on the smaller side. So if you feel quite peckish I recommend ordering a flight of tacos (4 tacos) for yourself. They also have awesome margaritas and I recommend sitting in the downstairs area. I really enjoyed my visit. Will definitely come back again.

Exceptional Service & Amazing Food! We celebrated a 50th birthday at Taquito last Friday, and it was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to make the evening special. A huge shout-out to Will, whose attention to detail and genuine care for our group made all the difference. The food was exceptional—every dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. While the steak was a little tougher than expected (and perhaps not what I’d usually associate with Mexican cuisine), everything else was flawless. What truly impressed us was how accommodating the team was for a guest with significant allergies. It’s rare to find a restaurant that takes this level of care, and Taquito nailed it. Thank you for making this milestone celebration so memorable. 5 out of 5 stars! Highly recommended.

Great Mexican-inspired food, one of the best in Melbourne, no doubt! The flavors were bold and creative, blending traditional Mexican ingredients with a modern twist. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, and the presentation was spot-on. The tacos were a standout, full of flavor and freshness. The ambiance was lively and welcoming, making it a fantastic spot for a casual night out. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for quality Mexican-inspired cuisine in the city

Came here on a Sat for dinner. The cocktails were incredibly tasty, especially the Colada and Taquito Marg. Food was really good. Our favourite was the beef barbacoa enchiladas. Tacos were also tasty, though on the smaller side. However, ceviche of the day was pricey at $32. Would still come back!

Very poor experience me and my family came in around 9 o’clock after a movie in Carlton I understand by that time most of the food was sold out including their whole taco menu which was a bit strange seeing it so it’s a taco place mainly but we gave them the benefit of a doubt and look through the rest of the menu. We were also given a very rude introduction where the manager or server I don’t know who was said INSIDE OR OUTSIDE and then said go to find a seat. There are the menus on the table. We firstly ordered drinks. All alcoholic drinks were brought out on time Wait, however they forgot all non-alcoholic drinks and after about half an hour waiting we had to go up to the bar and ask them as at the time they were chitchatting and laughing instead of doing their jobs they proceeded to say or I forgot and took another 10 minutes to prepare the drink. I like come on. The options on their summer menu that we’re not tacos were very limited smaller things that we decided to try as they were no other options at that time of night we ordered the guacamole item and a few other small items however that was not who we were given we were given some corn dish and some other smaller dish when we informed a waiter, who very condescendingly told us that he forgot once again went to go get The guacamole after shrugging his shoulders and rolling his eyes not to mention they still made us pay for the corn dish that we never ordered but because they made it they said we have to pay for it which is a bit ridiculous. In my opinion. We also asked for share plates because we were sharing and the way they said it was only on the side of the room. You can get yourself and walked away I’m sorry but when was this appropriate behaviour? In what world is this professional customer service? I get this restaurant is meant to be some hip bar but staff are rude. The food is mediocre and management is all over the place. Very disappointing experience.
