Taqueria

Taqueria brings a bright slice of Mexican flavour to St Kilda, where beloved street-food staples meet thoughtful plates.

The menu reads like a love letter to balance and texture, such as the melting quesadilla oozing with cheese, perhaps bolstered by chicken, pork or chorizo. Tacos are the heartbeat, from cochinita, slow-cooked pork sharpened with pickled onions, to asada: grilled Wagyu beef crowned with guacamole, onions and coriander.

Mains keep things light-footed yet satisfying, from a citrus-sparked ceviche that tosses seasonal vegetables and fruits with tuna to generous enchiladas, corn tortillas wrapped around pollo or cheese and smothered in sauce. Sweet endings keep spirits high: a silken lime pie in a buttery crust or warm churros ready for a plunge into chocolate.

Book a table, gather your favourite people, and let the good times taco along.
