Radio Mexico - Guacamole and tasty beverage. - Mexican Near Me - St Kilda, VIC

Two-fisted pouring a cocktail from high might offer a great Tom Cruise-like visual but it usually creates a poorly crafted imprecise cocktail. Pouring a cocktail according to the measured amounts specified in the recipe will always produce a better drink when the recipe is well conceived. I had 4 margs over 2 visits & there was no consistency, a couple of them far too bitter with an over-portion of the fresh squeezed lime juice. The seasoning, preparation of the food was on point but they should advertise as a tapas bar as the portion sizes were small compared to the $ charge. It's in a great place & had a good vibe but they'll need to tighten things up some if I'm coming back. read more

Man do I love this place! The corn is a fantastic starter and I'm all about the tacos for my main. I always get the same ones, so boring, I know! But they are too good to pass up! TACOS I RECOMMEND: I love the crispy Baja fish, the pumpkin and the mushroom. I know a mushroom taco sounds revolting, but it is oh so good. I usual share the corn as an entree and then I smash four tacos to myself. That is the perfect amount of food for me. They also have a good selection of drinks and they make a killer margarita too (just watch out, they aren't cheap!) read more

You know what? I'm going to update my review and lay 5 stars on this baby because after being a customer for a year now I can say that I've always received friendly service, tasty tacos (if not altogether authentic) and other Mexican influenced dishes that are great for sharing (I'm looking at you civeche). Bonus points for the margaritas which have been spot on every single time. The best bit? I always leave feeling like I've had an excellent night for not a whole lot of cash. read more

Look.. I love Mexican food. I don't care if you don't care or how many times I've said it or even mentioned it in my reviews... I'm pretty sure it'll come up again. Anywayz, I really wanted to give Radio Mexico 5 stars but, after having been to San Diego or even Olvera Street in LA (No no.. I'm not being an arrogant prick, just keeping it honest and objective), I believe that 4 stars sounds about right. We had dinner on Sat night. It was quite busy, which is to be expected really as it is a really cool place and the food is really good. We shared the Pork Belly and spiced rice (Wow.. That rice was good and the pork belly.. hmm.. delicious) plus I had a chicken taco as well as the pulled pork taco. They were pretty good but they were not (what's the word I'm looking for?...ah!) tits you know! Don't get me wrong, compared to say... Senoritas, Radio Mexico definitely wins the challenge and I will return because I want to try other things on the menu; however when it comes to authenticity, well..... read more

Radio Mexico - Grilled chicken taco.. - Mexican Near Me - St Kilda, VIC

Sydney, you have got to get your act together. Mexican in Melbourne is whipping your arse. This is such a funky little place. My sister introduced me to Radio Mexico A couple of years ago, and I recall being completely blown away by it. I had tried some crab and corn Tostaditas, that had seared their way into my brain at the time, and I had been almost DYING to give Mal the experience. Funnily enough, hitting them yesterday, I was all a bit "Meh" I kind of thought that they had had a bit more zing, or pop to them, but it may have been the order in which things were served yesterday that messed with my taste-buds. The fish taco arrived first. This time, the waiter urged me to try the fried fish taco,rather than the grilled one (Though I recall the grilled one as being rather fabulous last time anyway.) however, he was not wrong. It was a complete Ping! Pop! Kabang! POW! in the mouth. Juicy delicious salady slaw stuff, with a bit of fire. Mal ordered some pulled pork Carnitas that featured the most divine slow cooked pork, beans, corn, coriander, etc. Just yummy. Their cocktails are bloody good too, and there's usually a bit of a show going on behind the bar, with a fair bit of bottle flipping to pass the time between orders. Go on! Get it all in your belly! You know you want to! read more

Holy guacamole and so much more! Now offering thier full menu and what a tour de force it is! Something to go back for. I met this girl named radio; she said her signal was low, she wasn't getting much sound, she kept the volume down, then she kissed me in the face... As far as songs go, this is pretty much what it is; newly arrived and freshly opened, Radio Mexico is sure to go gangbusters soon, but is on the quiet for now. First impressions are impressive- fine dining without the price tag, delivered to the masses. For your dining options; there is a half in, half out dining area by the street; covered enough to be warm, but open enough to be fresh. The main dining room is simple but well executed via great design elements. Cohesive design. It's all in all an inviting space that works well. I had a rippingly good time here and did order quite a lot. Prawn and chipolte taco; in its namesake with chipolte, offers a fresh and clean taste -superbly cooked. its obvious that almost everything here is house-made. The tortilla almost resembles a fabric; soft yet firm and holds it's shape. Simple, clean, elegant flavours. Bloody Maria is good too; a piquant of sweetness enveloped by savory, spicy goodness. Lamb taco: is like being hit in the face with a strong right hook; in the good way. Succulent, juicy flavoursome, meltingly tender lamb that is ultra fresh- burst with clean sharp flavours. Strong taste, yet restrained. The Guacamole is just suburb. Well executed and brilliant wine list. Yet to make my way through most of the remaining drinks list. Chicken taco; brilliant, a few key ingredients used. as for the prawn, lamb it's perfectly cooked. house made corn chips are great too; its how all corn chips should be. i want to live here. The Mexicano Cocktail is great; a negroni but based with Espolon tequila. Bug Meat taco: Clean, fresh, excellent flavours. The Nachos here thankfully haven't been bastardised by western flavours and customs. "Chilaquiles" No cheese, but fresh sour cream. It works well and is fantastic. I was here when it was dead quiet; but nevertheless it was attentive, and food came out comfortably. Relaxed yet professional service. Hold onto your hats guys- Radio Mexico is going places. read more

Coming from California and having been to Mexico, I can guarantee that I've had authentic Mexican. I think this is probably the closest I've had to it here in Australia although it misses being Authentic by far. I might just be picky about my Mexican food though. The one thing that is going good for them is their main dishes. We shared the Meatball dish (sorry can't remember the name) and it was excellent! I do think that the green rice was a bit lacking in flavor though and I had to add the sauce and crema to it for flavor. The tacos are quite filling though, but the Pollo one that I had seemed to be a bit lacking in flavor as well. I'm a big person for spices and they just seemed like they needed something added. My husband had a fish taco (he wanted to compare to the proper Mexican ones he's had) and was impressed with it having a bit of a bite! Their special margarita was a coconut milk and vanilla margarita. Although the first batch that came to us wasn't impressive on taste (minus the tequila), I have it a second chance and my second one was absolutely amazing! I'm looking forward to seeing if they end up doing a pomegranate or strawberry one! The service was quite so-so. We were pointed to our table, not walked and it took a whole to even get a drink menu. The waiter never brought us our water and I had to ask for it with our chips and salsa. They're prompt on refilling drinks but attention wise they are a big lacking. Hoping it was just a day where they were just lacking in staff because I really want to try the potato and chorizo quesadilla!! read more

Radio Mexico - Coconut water and Vanilla Margarita- yummy tequila!! - Mexican Near Me - St Kilda, VIC

Whats not to like about Radio Mexico? Excellent location in St Kilda, Terrific Tacos, cute outdoor terrace and delicious cocktails. Had dinner here a few Saturdays ago and really enjoyed the experience. Had a classic Margarita and Guacamole for starters followed by pulled pork and taco's. Absolutely delicious. Staff were really attentive in a non creepy way and I loved the colorful decor. Can't wait for summer to come back so I can spend lazy Sunday lunches with friends there... read more

With a mouth watering menu and authentic ingredients it was hardly surprising that on a Tuesday night we were told it would be an hour and half wait for a table. We decided to sit outside on the street which meant no alcohol but hey that was ok... we had virgin cocktails. Must trys here are the pork belly, melts in your mouth + the prawn and slaw taco. read more

I've been to this restaurant 2x in a week just because it was beachside! Both times the service was absolutely terrible we had 4 different servers on Sunday and all we clueless about our requests and delivered meals seperate was all rude and abrupt felt rushed to sit rushed to order and then thrown food like we were dogs!! I will never recommend anyone here even if the food was tasty! I think the owner should re evaluate his staff and front of house!! read more

Melbourne has some really awesome mexican places and Radio Mexico is definitely amongst the best!! As the other reviews suggest, this is a touristy place and almost always booked/packed. It is right next to the water at St. Kilda's. We were seated at the bar and tried their superb paloma drink. After about half an hour, we finally got a table and placed our order for their delish tacos. Everything was delicious and the setting is really cute. read more

The place was packed and an hour wait so I thought it would be very special. We decided to get our food take out and walk down to the beach to eat it. It was very expensive and in about 15 minutes our little take out boxes were ready. Guess what, it wasn't really that great. I told my wife I'd have been happier with Taco Bell. The guacamole was very average and the chicken tortilla stuff I had was something I could have made better myself. Oh BTW, when we got to the beach we discovered there were no forks or napkins. I think this place was more interested in being the coolest place in town and forgot about the quality of their product or maybe their success has resulted in complacence. There's no reason to eat here in a city like Melbourne. You can do way better. read more

Really, really impressed with this place! Service was super friendly and FAST (which is especially impressive due to how busy the place was on a Saturday night), cool decor - especially in the bathrooms, which I know is a strange thing to say... - and amazing, delicious, fresh Mexican-style food! I echo the sentiments of many Yelpers before me when I say that the homegrown chipotle sauce is enough of a reason for a visit in itself. The margarita was just the icing on the delicious, delicious Mexican cake. We'll be back! read more

For those who love Mexican food - this is amazing. Even for the people who aren't too sure about it, I challenge you to say no to good cocktails, quesadillas and coconut ice-cream. It's a foregone conclusion... you will be taken over by your taste buds. I went down here on a Saturday night with my friend. We arrived before 7, prepared for there to be some kind of wait. After putting my name down on the list (very far down on the list I might add), the maitre'd suggested that we head down Acland St for a drink. Bang on one hour later, the table was ready. We had a great waitress, who had no problems telling my friend which dishes were suitable for her (she's coeliac) which is a nice surprise because I've found some people to be quite dismissive. The food was quick to come out, but staggered so you can appreciate each dish rather than being swarmed by it all in one go. We shared the potato and chorizo quesadillas and corn to start, which were epically tasty, and oh so cheesy. Tacos were definitely in my sights and I went for the prawns, which had a fair whack of chilli and coriander in it, as well as the pollo, which was a little more traditional with avocado and salsa. I had stopped off at Big Mouth for a drink as the maitre'd suggested, which led to chips and aioli, so by this time I was stuffed. Had I not tried to leave room for the dessert option I was eye-ing off, I might have tried to force another one down. They're that good. The aforementioned dessert option, coconut icecream with cajeta caramel and toasted coconut was OMG so good. I might have said I wanted to bathe in it. Will definitely be going back again. Next time without the food pitstop at Big Mouth. read more

I'm such a fan of Melbourne's obsession with Mexican food. The more the merrier I say! Radio Mexico is a really lovely little spot. Casual, friendly and pumping out great food. The vibe was very relaxed, unpretencious and fun. The food is served quickly and you're encouraged to keep ordering tacos as you go. On the must try list - the prawn and chipotle. Sooo good. The guac lacked punch, but their homemade chipotle sauce was spot on. I'll definitely have to go back to try some more of their homemade sauces and chips and the main dishes were mighty tempting too. Ideal spot for a casual date or fast but nice meal. read more

Had an awesome dinner with work colleagues here earlier this week. Service was friendly, informative and helpful; we were easily accommodated despite being a group of 7 on a busy evening. It was two-for-one Margarita Monday which was handy on the pocket but almost too tempting; they had nice punch of citrus with a slightly sweet undercurrent and a very generous rim of salt. The menu also had some great local beers which I always like to see - bonus when they taste good too! We started with guacamole and chips - simple but one of the tastiest variations I've tried! I had the cochinita pebil taco (slow roasted suckling pig), which was the dish that Jonny Depp killed for in 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico' and this execution didn't disappoint - the meat was flavourful and juicy, with a nice kick from the chilli. We shared main dishes - the mole was ok, and the pork belly tasty but super rich; it was the albondigas that really stood out for me. They were meaty and delicious, nicely spicy and great for sharing. We didn't have room for dessert - maybe next time as this spot was cute. colourful and perfect for a relaxed night out with friends! read more

Great little Mexican place with great food and drinks as well as friendly staff. We sat outside on the street tables which were a little loud, but it was still fun for people watching. We had a little laugh though as we've lived in Spain and the staff had no idea how to pronounce the Spanish names of the dishes to the point that, when said correctly, the staff had not idea what we were talking about. read more

My score is based purely on the food. Went for the 2 for 1 margaritas which I have to say were fantastic and I have been going back nearly weekly for ever since, however the Tacos i ordered on that first time were so bad, I haven't been able to bring myself to eat anything other than the Guac since that visit. My advice - Go for some pre dinner drinks but eat your meal elsewhere. read more

So, this is really excellent Mexican. If you like Mexican, then don't hesitate to check it out. I finally visited with two girlfriends this last long weekend. We sat outdoors and it is gorgeous (if a little less comfortable than it could be with a couple of cushions on offer). There is a great shade cloth up and so it was really nice. We ordered salsa and guacamole (obviously) with corn chips. I could have gone without the salsa- not amazing and the guacamole was pretty good. Not blowing my socks off amazing but pretty good! The tacos however were ridiculously delicious. At around $7.50 each they are on the pricey side, but gosh darn they are excellent. I had the grilled fish which was as good as any fish taco I've had in Melbourne, fresh and spicy, yum yum, and the prawn taco which was also excellent. We had a couple of drinks too and with a tip was under $35 each. Not bad. Service was friendly and super prompt. Very impressed. Yum!! read more

Food is good but it's an extremely loud environment. If you don't want someone screaming in your ear like you're in a crowded bar then skip this. Enchiladas excellent. Guacamole has loads of real avocado. read more

This is a fun spot for casual Mexican inspired fare. Margaritas were damn good: The perfect balance of sweet and sour, with a glass rimmed with rock salt. Really smashing. The pork, carne asada and grilled fish tacos were tasty, if not the most authentic. Carne asada is usually served with chopped onion and coriander, not masses of beans, but you know: Australia. Hot sauce wasn't on every table (which is nuts at a Mexican place) but we were told it was available. I loved the simple jicama salad dressed with lime juice and chile powder. It was a great accompaniment to all the meaty goodness going on with the tacos. Service was friendly if a bit haphazard: They gave us tacos that we hadn't ordered, which ended up being eaten but also added to the bill. Seems a table of seven is a bit too much for the servers to keep track of. Hmmm. I would return here but I wasn't blown away. read more

I give 4 stars mostly because their classic margarita and guacamole w/ chips are delicious!! Came here before seeing a show at the Palais theatre (4 min walk from the venue). Sat at the bar and wasn't immediately acknowledged and the the bartender looked slightly annoyed that I asked for the drink menu (they were really busy this Thursday night). If you're looking for that classic margarita in Australia, this is the place to go! I've tried a few too many around Australia that were absolutely terrible. Mexico Radio's are really good (and I'm from Texas). Now they aren't Texas good but really good for Australia. I recommend the guacamole and chips (although quite pricey) and the tacos!! We ordered 4 different tacos to include steak, veg, grilled fish and pulled pork - all really nice but I probably wouldn't order/recommend the grilled fish taco (too fishy). They did mess up our order but got a free taco out of it. Despite all that, definitely add this to your list if you are a Mexican food lover like myself! Really cool atmosphere and outdoor seating area! read more

Margaritas, guacamole, pico de gallo, and tomatillo salsa were aces. Not the best tacos but I've had much worse. I love that they serve albondigas (outta my face cheesy gringo burritos). Atmosphere and staff were great. ¡Viva la Méjico! read more

Came here for the first time with my boyfriend for our 4 year anniversary. There was about a 40 minute wait for a table but we found a perch and got some drinks, grilled corn and guacamole and chips to get us started. The grilled corn wasn't as good as Mama Sita IMO, but still pretty good. We were shown a table and decided to get the meatballs, quinoa and pumpkin salad and a serve of the Jicama, which is a root vegetable best described as cross between and apple and a potato. All of these were flavoursome and served in a timely manner although not all at once, but it is mexican - it's meant to be a bit haphazard and messy and delicious. Order another margarita and have a good time making friend with the table next to you. After these mains we got a taco each - chicken and pork - which were again a good mix of flavours and textures. So in conclusion,it is pretty similar style to other mexican like Mama Sita, but with a much more varied and delicious menu! We will definitely be back! read more

Mexico is one of my favorite vacation destinations, and living in Colorado (USA) we have tons of great Mexican restaurants. Oh, and I used to get tipped with food when I translated for at-risk youth (mostly from Northern Mexico). I love Mexican food. So I was hesitant to go out for tacos in Australia. Especially since last time I ordered enchiladas in Hobart I got a taco shell with tomato sauce (aka ketchup), tasty cheese, and mince. Radio Mexico was a pleasant surprise! The menu and food was a bit hit or miss in terms of authenticity, but everything was very good! The Baja taco (fried fish) was almost exactly what I would expect if I had ordered in in Baja California, and my husband and I both agreed it was the best thing we tried. The other tacos were tasty, meats were cooked nicely and sauces were flavorful. The guacamole was basically just avocado paste with some salt, but it was really high quality avocado. The salsas were also more like pastes than what we would consider a salsa, and all seemed to be seasoned a little heavily with cumin. They were also all a bit smokey in flavor, and some more diversity would have been nice. We didn't have any drinks except iced tea (a bit sweet for my tastes, and the orange was unique, but the flavor was excellent and very refreshing) but the tequila menu looked wonderful. Service was friendly, prompt, and polite. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. Outdoor patio looked great, like the perfect place for and after-work drink on a lovely summer evening. For Australia, really great Mexican food! read more

I've eaten at a lot of Mexican restaurants around America and Mexico and unfortunately Australia's version of "proper" authentic Mexican food is catered for people that think Mad Mex is proper and legit or the crap you buy at Coles down aisle 1. Anyways, this is possibly the closet and decent Mexican food I have ever had in Australia! Unfortunately not by choice and I feel like the biggest pain in the ass, I suffer from a tomato intolerance which came about not long ago and is possibly the worst thing to have, (I would rather go blind or loose a limb than have this) and ya know how much god damn food is cooked in tomato... A Fucking lot! I feel like a shitty customer for having to ask but it also stops me from giving shitty reviews and from shitting myself in public. Anyways this place is excellent, courtyard is very small abut crampy and very loud, plenty of seating inside. Every single worker was excellent and they are all good at their job, very attentive and very friendly! Everything came out at a reasonable time. Food was recommended for me, I had the fish tacos (deep fried) which were nice but the fish portion was pretty small and one wasn't very fishy but just deep fried batter, i still ate it, I had the rockling which was excellent, my partner had the lamb and the pork belly which looked amazing, the corn tortillas were on point! The guacamole was INCREDIBLE! For the mains my partner had nachos they looked in my opinion a-bit dry but he said they were the opposite! I had the pollo verde which was AMAZING! It was perfect , the was creamy and the flavor I just couldn't get enough of, the green rice that it was serve with was very satisfying! The drinks came out very quick as well, my partner had a largerita, I didn't catch on to what beer they used but it was pretty god damn good, I had two cocktails, Tommy's margarita which they nailed it! And the pina colada which I ended up sculling because I liked the taste and I really like alcohol! I definitely would recommend this place to everyone!!!!!! read more

Melbourne's Best Cheap Eats BY SHARKING FOR CHIPS AND DRINKS Well, we had to put one taqueria on the list, and it was affordability and atmosphere that bagged this Carlisle Street haunt a spot among our cheap eats. With $6 tacos and a whole heap of affordable snacks and sides, plus larger sharing meals, this place demands you stay a while and graze. We recommend the chilaquiles - proper nachos that are utterly addictive. Go easy on the cocktails, though, or that cheap night out will suddenly stack up. read more

Radio Mexico really hit the spot. Stopped by after a morning paddleboard session on St Kilda beach and I've been pretty lucky with my choices for Mexican food lately, and this is no exception. The menu is acutally quite large so there's a lot to choose from. Most were designed to share but looking over the menu I instantly knew what I wanted to order - Tacos! I tried the Camaron (chipotle praw and slaw) and Pescado De La Casa (grilled fish with black bean and corn salsa). Both were amazingly delicious and oh so fresh. Also tried the Totopos (white corn chips with house salsas), can't go wrong with corn chips and the salsas were all tasty ranging from mild to spicy. Adding a serve of guacamole would go down a treat too. Food came out promptly and service was friendly and relaxed. And the cute outdoor seating area made it the perfect place to chill on a sunday afternoon. I will be back to try everything on the menu before the summer is over. read more

Great food! Great service! Their homemade lemonade and sodas are delicious. Their guacamole was really good. All the food comes out really fast, they bring each item to the table when its ready instead of waiting and brining everything at once.. which is also convenient when your starving. I had the enchiladas which were super good, the sauce on them really made the dish would definitely go back read more

Radio Mexico - Guac and homemade lemonade - Mexican Near Me - St Kilda, VIC

Radio Mexico is one of my top 5 restaurants in Melbourne. It is my go to recommendation when someone asks me where to go in St Kilda! The food is delicious, fresh and full of flavour! The decor is fun Tex Mex inspired complete with cactus', day of the dead skulls and Mexican blankets. There is seating both in and outside (the outside is lovely in summer). Radio Mexico takes bookings at the door, often for larger groups they will put you on a waiting list. But believe me it is worth the wait, grab a beer at a local pub and wait to be summoned. The cocktails are amazing, but like any good Mexican restaurant you cannot go past a margarita! The have a number of varieties, have fun trying them all. At certain times they have 2 for one specials, these are fantastic but deadly because they are hard to refuse! Most importantly the food! I always start with corn chips and guacamole, you can't beat this fresh start to a meal, I follow that with a serve of Mexican corn, which is so succulent that my mouth waters just thinking about it! Lastly I order some delicious tacos, my faves are the prawn and also the beer battered fish! They often have a special taco and they rarely disappoint. Radio Mexico is a must try, I have never been disappointed by the food, service, drinks or atmosphere! It gets my 5 star rating... I would go higher if I could! read more

Menu is difficult to understand- tiny TIIIIINY portions- ridiculously overpriced for what you get- tacos soggy with barely any filling (brought to the table all jumbled up so no one knew who's was theirs) Overall everything lacked love and flavour. Not with the 1hr wait at all. I wanted to love this but unfortunately a huge miss. read more

I know Mexican in Australia is hard to find, but don't waste your time here. The food is tasty but the portions are SO SMALL and it's very expensive for what you get. The dinners they claim will serve 3-4 will barely serve 1-2, for $60. Barely. We'll keep looking for Mexican in Melbourne read more

For those in search of Mexican in Melbourne, I would strongly advise you tune your dials to Radio Mexico. This is some of the best food I've had in a while, much less Mexican food. As I perused the menu, I knew I was in for a treat. When I walked into the place, I knew I'd at least have a great time even if the food was average. They don't take bookings for small groups (this may change, so peep the website for full disclosure) so expect a wait even on a rainy Sunday night. The menu is a bit all over the place but I sort of enjoyed that. The main focus of the menu is the pretty comprehensive list of tacos (most are $6). The burritos are not available yet as of mid-May but they have plenty of ensaladas, pinchos (mains), and botanas (entrees) to round it all out. We started out nibbling on the roasted pumpkin seeds they bring out to you immediately and were greeted by a fun and professional waitress who got in our drink orders. I went with the Clover Club which was pricey ($18) but nicely crafted and definitely packed a punch. They also have plenty of interesting and traditional cocktails on offer, along with the requisite Mexican and local-ish beer list. We started out with chips and 3 kinds of salsa ($7). The chips were perfect and I was singing "Hallelujah!" in my head when I saw they were not from a bag, warm, and very crunchy. The salsas were more like dips, not too robust but some really lovely flavours, my favourite was the verde. Pretty soon after we began noshing on chips, the tacos we ordered started to show up. They bring food out as soon as it's ready, which makes for a more informal dining experience so be prepared if you like things more regimented. I got one each of the two varieties of fish taco. The Baja was fried fish with lots of crispy slaw and was quite tasty, if a little messy! The Pescado de la Casa was grilled fish with a black bean salsa and was my favourite of the two... I couldn't get enough of it. I would agree with Tresna that the tortillas were a little dry and maybe grilled a bit too long, but for me it didn't diminish the taco love too much. Our table also got the black bean salad and the quinoa and pumpkin salads ($14 each) which were both really nicely done and tasted excellent. I really wanted to try the jimaca salad because jimaca is something I haven't ever seen on a menu in Australia and it's fantastic - so fresh and crunchy. Next time! There were other orders at the table of tacos and quesadillas and it was all enjoyed... especially the street style corn on the cob... wow. They were so bueno. The meal was rounded out by a bit of Mexican hot chocolate ($10) and coconut ice cream. The hot choc was incredible - a super smooth and rich flavour and one I'd highly recommend. I really enjoyed my evening here, it's best if you are in the mood for a bit of a loud and frenzied atmosphere. The outside area would be marvelous when it warms up again, though it's a covered area so you can enjoy it if you're brave and have a chocolate caliente to keep you warm. read more

Radio mexico is a place I keep coming back to. Great drinks and casual service, the tacos are really tasty with fresh ingredients (consistently) - they offer a contemporary take on traditional Mexican, so don't be surprised when things taste different. The decor is great, if you're hosting a memorable event like a birthday dinner people will remember the venue. Like all good places it can get busy, so make sure you aren't in a rush or try to visit off-peak. Corn on the cob is great, but you may need to floss ;) read more
