• Mexican • Melbourne CBD

Booked 9 times today

Finding harmony between authenticity and originality is something that first ignited the flame at Mesa Verde back in 2013 and continues to feed it today. While it’s fairly evident that an affinity for Mexican food and agave spirits is at the helm of what we do, our city’s rank on the culinary frontier has brought with it a particular nose for experimentation. So, since we’re very literally in the heart of Melbourne up here on the sixth floor of Curtin House, high above the city’s jugular Swanston Street, we feel it’s our responsibility to highlight what Mexican dining (and drinking) looks like in the eyes of the modern Melburnian. $10 Margaritas 4pm - 6pm daily.

Very friendly attentive service. Food excellent, except pad thai was a little disappointing. 2 large prawns cooked to death, kind of like a deconstructed pad thai. Starters were nice, as was the whole fish. Also, no chicken options for red and green curries.
