    Burrito supremo. ..filling for sure.  $21.50
    Sam K.

    Well, contrary to the other reviews here, I'd say it wasn't bad. It wasn't great either but no complaints. I booked online and they didn't get the booking. I had to call 3 times to reconfirm it because they don't answer the phone and no one calls you back. We had a group of 7 and it was comfortable and filling for us all. The food didn't blow my mind but I also didn't think it was overly expensive. It's not cheap for sure but the portions were large. Service was a little slow but nothing too terrible. If you're looking for high quality you're probably better to head to a non chain restaurant. But for something easy, filling and a bit kitschy, it's good.

    Fajitas getting their sizzle on

    You either like or despise Taco Bill's particular brand of chain Mexican food. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground. Me, while I really appreciate the 'good'-slash-fancy Mexican food which is becoming more and more on trend, I'm still in the former camp for four reasons: 1/ I like all the five or so key ingredients that seem to come in any and all menu option, in any combination. Guoc, salsa, sour cream, corn chips = all good here. It would have to be pretty bad for me not to enjoy it. 2/ The fajitas. I maintain these are the best option on the menu by a mile and while sometimes your taco might be filled with overly salty meat, or the enchiladas might be sloppy and mushy, the fajitas have never let me down. 3/ Death by Chocolate. I don't even have a massive sweet tooth and I'm all over this one. 4/ While the price might seem a tad expensive for what you get, you have to work pretty hard to avoid their discount days or numerous coupons. Basically if you're paying full price it's your own fault, sucker. If you've been to a Taco Bill before and it wasn't for you, this store isn't gonna turn you around. It's as bright and ticky-tacky and staffed by a high-rotation of travellers with varying grasps on the language as most others seem to be. My only gripe about this place in particular was that in the depths of winter it was ice cold in there - no heating? We stayed rugged up for our meal. Otherwise, those who know what they're getting will find much of the same here to like.

    If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, fine tequila and a classy dining experience, then I'd probably avoid Taco Bill like the plague. On the other hand, if you are looking for a tasty Australian take on Mexican food, frozen margaritas and a good time, then Taco Bill is a good option. Did I forget to mention the comedy giant sombreros? In all honesty, I'm probably being a bit unkind to Taco Bill. I've been there a few times and the food has been pretty consistent and I've also consistently had a good time with friends when coming here. Mexican food is generally really expensive in Melbourne. Taco Bill, for these standards, probably comes in as a cheap eat compared with its competitors. For a more upscale Mexican in the city I'd go for Mamasita all the way. That place is crazy good.

    For prawn lovers.

    Uncomfortably hot, sub par Mexican, way over priced, extra $ for toppings that they conveniently don't tell you about

    Friends brought me here after seeing a little "footy", so it was Saturday night around 8pm. We…read moredidn't have to wait that long to be seated, which was a plus! There are a lot of gluten-free choices and I went for the Mex Bim-Bap (baby spinach, quinoa, shaved cabbage, shredded raw zucchini, guacamole, charred sweet corn, pickled cabbage, pico de gallo, black beans, crispy paprika chickpeas, tortilla strips, lemon vinaigrette) and Chargrilled Corn for a starter (back in the states we call it 'street corn'). Both were really tasty and while you can add chicken, fish, beef, pork or falafel to the Bim-Bap, it was enough for me as is. They have alcoholic drinks (I had a bourbon, neat) and the atmosphere is fun and lively. You place your order at the counter after you've been seated and they bring the food and drinks over to you.

    There's lots to love about Fonda. It's quick, the menu has a bit of everything on it to keep most…read moregroups happy, the payment system is quick and easy and the food is fresh. This particular outlet is massive, with mountains of seating to look after the lunch time crowds. Get here bang on noon if you want a table right away, otherwise you risk having to line up and wait a little while (though the speed of everything probably means you won't wait long). You can also pre-book for groups of 12 which is great if you want to come during the lunchtime rush with a big group of colleagues. Weekends are a bit dead. I went for a Sunday dinner and our group of 10 had no problem getting seating at 6pm. The selection of drinks is small but the house-made Agua Frescas and the cocktails using local spirits are fun and inventive. The Horchata is delicious and worth a try if you've not had it before. If you're a mad Mexican fan then the food at Fonda will let you down. There's not a lot of punchy flavours and some dishes fall short (the beef taco wasn't that great - the topping bitter) while others are surprisingly tasty though far from authentic (fish taco I'm looking at you). The chicken quesadilla is just plain boring if you ask me, but it great for kids or plain eaters. My advice? Choose wisely and go with the approach of sharing a number of dishes for a bigger variety of flavours.

    I brought corn & flour tortillas all the way from Texas to make tacos for a friend. I was lamenting…read morethe fact that I wished I could get fresh tortillas in Melbourne and my friend told me he heard there was a tortilla factory in Melbourne. I went the very next day to check out La Tortilleria and I was very pleasantly surprised! I reviewed the entire menu in greater detail than I probably should have and decided on the Chilaquiles. Melbourne is a long way from Mexico, but I read some yelp reviews and saw photos that looked authentic! I had read some reviews that these "nachos" were very soggy, but to my surprise they were just as they should be and we're very authentic to South Texas! To describe these as "nachos" is not accurate! They are dipped in a red sauce for flavor and served perfectly. I had the Chilaquiles with chicken and they were really excellent and I highly them. There was not even a tiny use morsel of these left on the plate! In fact, I was so very impressed with the authentic flavor & taste, I bought 7 tacos, guacamole and chips, pico de gallo and chips to take to some friends. Everything was pretty authentic to my well-trained Tex Mex palate and I certainly will be back! I even bought two packs of corn tortillas to try to make some Mexican dishes while staying at my friends in Melbourne! Friends loved the "take out" tacos & chips, guacamole & pico!

    Guzman y Gomez Food Review…read more Guzman y Gomez brings a fast-casual twist to Mexican cuisine, offering burritos, tacos, nachos, bowls, and breakfast options with a focus on fresh ingredients and bold flavors. The brand has built a loyal following across Australia and beyond, but experiences can vary depending on location and timing. What People Love * Flavor-packed meals: Many customers rave about the taste, especially the Cali burrito (with fries inside), pulled pork fajitas, and breakfast burritos. The seasoning is bold, and the meat portions are generous when done right A. * Freshness: Fans highlight the freshness of ingredients -- from guacamole to grilled chicken -- and the made-to-order feel of the food B. * Atmosphere: Some stores offer a vibrant vibe with Latin music and Spanish-speaking staff, giving it an authentic taquería feel A. * Customer service: Friendly staff and quick service are often praised, especially during store openings or promotional events C. Where It Falls Short * Inconsistency: Reviews show that quality can vary between locations. Some customers report dry nachos, missing ingredients, or poorly assembled tacos C. * Service hiccups: A few diners have had negative experiences with drive-thru communication or staff attitude, particularl Guzman y Gomez is a flavorful, fast option for Mexican food lovers who want something more vibrant than typical fast food. When the kitchen's on point, it delivers big on taste and freshness. Just be mindful that your experience may depend on the specific store and time of day. If you're new to GYG, start with a Cali burrito or bowl with pulled pork -- and maybe grab a side of churros for dessert.

    Had to eat at Guzman y Gomez at least once while in Australia. We have enjoyed it in the past years…read moreand still do. We have eaten at Guzman y Gomez in at least six cities and they are all very good. Am sad that we were so hungry that we forgot to take a picture. But it was a simple meal of three Hard Shell Minced Spicy Beef tacos. There were very good. Not the best in the world but better than Taco Bell. The place was packed. And it took longer than average. Think they forgot to call our number. Had to go ask if our food ready. It was! Will definitely return on our next trip to Australia. Recommend for a quick inexpensive lunch.
