Our first time here was a great experience. The host really was hospitable. The food was delicious and plenty of it. We'll be back for sure!

I can't remember the last time I've handed out a 5 Star review…read more But I havnt really got a bad word to say. The food and Drink were excellent and the atmosphere was relaxing and pleasant. Nothing went wrong. It was a beuitiful place for pre Drinks before a night out. It was even good enough that I would consider it for a birthday. I loved dipping my quesadillas into the sour cream and my margarita felt full on and helped me relax. 5 stars for Pacos Tacos and they deserved it, thank you for starting my night out so well. I'll be coming back sometime.

Although the service here was brilliant and our table was looked after very well, I must say I was…read moredisappointed with the taste of the food. Although coriander is a key component in many Mexican dishes, my main meal tasted of nothing more. I ordered a Concane taco to begin, and it's size was okay for the price however it tasted very bland; the meat seemed to lack any good seasoning. For my mains, I ordered the 'Pacos Nachos' - and wasn't impressed. It tasted of nothing more than coriander and the Fetta Cheese, although creamy, was tasteless. There is no doubt that all the ingredients were very fresh, but this doesn't overwrite the fact that the flavours just weren't there. The meals were incredibly quick to come out of the kitchen but this is not a suprise considering that most of the dishes didn't require on the spot cooking but rather a simple 'stack and go' line in the kitchen. Which is useful If you are on the run and need a quick bite. As for the atmosphere, I felt like I was sitting in a children's playground. The colours just did not work for me, and although bright colours open up the space, the use of yellow and pink just made the restaurant feel childish. Overall, I think that, with some focus on getting flavour ratios right, the meals here could be very enjoyable. I can live with the decor.

As a single business traveler I often find it difficult if not a little intimidating to go to…read morerestaurants alone resulting in many nights of room service and two minute noodles. But after visiting Amor Mexico on a particularly lonely night, I am very happy to report that the warm and welcoming staff (not to mention the yummy food and cosy atmosphere) prompted a return visit a week later. And although the staff were different, the way they made me feel genuinely welcome and better still, appreciated for my choice to dine with them, was exactly the same as the first time. The restaurant was quite busy the first night and apart from the volume of the two large tables celebrating birthdays (they weren't that loud - I'm just a grumpy old man!) the service was equally as wonderful as that of the second occasion when there were only 4 or 5 tables of two dining. I ordered different drinks and meals each time and everything was delicious and reasonably generous in size adding good value for money to the list of positives of this place. If you or you and your friends/family are ever in Forest Hill - or within 20kms of Forest Hill - and feel like some yummy Mexican and great hospitality, drop in to Amor Mexico. PS. I talked with the owner on my second visit and was informed it has been a Mexican restaurant for 30 years and hasn't changed hands on the last 15 - which I guess is testimony to my very positive review.

Great service, nachos with beef are our family favourite. Amy the owner is very friendly and always…read moresmiling

A new addition to the variety of restaurants in Boronia, Carlos Cantina is an indie Mexican…read morerestaurant that aims to take on the over franchised cuisine. I popped in for dinner on a Monday, and took advantage of the Monday to Wednesday Half Price Entrees and Mains deal. This was great as when I got what I ordered, it was enough for two, and only cost about $10. My meal was fantastic. After a shared entrée of the Carlos Potachos, which was basically nachos with potato wedges instead of corn chips, I ordered the Fajita Vegetales, and was given a piping hot pan of fresh vegetables cooked in a ranch sauce. Another plate held lettuce, guacamole and rice, and yet another had 4 fajita wraps, plus cheese sour cream and salsa. I proceeded to make my own wraps, and somehow managed to devour the entire thing. Like a Taco Bill, the prices are quite high for what you get. Although the meals are really large, I'm always surprised at how much it costs for a burrito at ANY Mexican restaurant. With the fare quite simple in its preparation and ingredients, I'm one who often make sit at home and avoids paying $20 for a meal that cost under $5 to cook. That said, take advantage of the half price nights, and you're sure to enjoy having someone else cook for you.

This is the yummiest Mexican I've ever had... the vegan baked potato with rice was to die for, I…read morecouldn't stop eating and arguably the best baked potato I've had... so soft on the inside and incredibly crunchy on the outside. Kudos, I couldn't even take a picture of it it smelt too good not to get into!
