Best Mexican Dinner Spots in Melbourne – A Local's Guide to Authentic Flavours
If you’re the kind of person who lights up at the sound of sizzling fajitas, fresh guac, or a perfectly shaken margarita, then you’re in the right place. Welcome to Si Senor — Melbourne’s go-to for a proper Mexican dinner that feels more like a celebration than a meal.
With two buzzing locations in Richmond and Hampton, we’re not just serving food — we’re bringing a piece of Mexico to your table. Loud flavours, warm hospitality, and the kind of vibe that turns a quiet Tuesday into a mini fiesta.
Where to Find Us: Two Spots, Same Heart
Here are the value points where you can find us:
Richmond – Where the Night Comes Alive
Smack in the middle of Swan Street’s dining scene, our Richmond outpost is perfect for a catch-up with mates, pre-concert tacos, or a full-blown dinner with drinks that turn into more drinks. The space has energy — bright colours, murals, music, and a menu that keeps the good times rolling.
Hampton – Chill by the Bay
Over in Hampton, things are a little more relaxed but no less delicious. Whether you’re rolling in with the family, heading out for date night, or just keen for quality Mexican without heading into the city, we’ve got you covered. Same food, same flavour — just with more beachside vibes.
What We Serve: Real Mexican Food, No Gimmicks
We’re not trying to reinvent Mexican food. We just make it how it’s meant to be — fresh, flavour-packed, and full of soul. Every bite you take here starts with real ingredients and recipes that do justice to the originals.
Tacos That Actually Taste Like Tacos
None of those tiny dry shells or mystery fillings here. Our tacos are built on hand-pressed tortillas and filled with slow-cooked meats, spicy salsas, and fresh toppings. Favourites like pork carnitas, baja fish, and chipotle mushroom hit the sweet spot every time.
Guac That Steals the Show
Yes, we know everyone has guac on their menu — but ours is the kind people order twice. Made fresh every day, with the perfect mix of lime, coriander, red onion, and a dash of chilli. It’s kind of non-negotiable to start your meal with it.
Burritos, Bowls & More
We keep things simple, hearty, and satisfying. Burritos stuffed to the brim, rice bowls with serious attitude, cheesy quesadillas, and mains like chicken mole and chimichangas that will absolutely ruin your ability to ever eat average Mexican food again.
Desserts You’ll Want Room For
Whatever you do, save space for dessert. Our churros are golden, crunchy, and served with chocolate sauce that’s basically a hug in a bowl. Keep an eye out for limited-time sweets too — we love experimenting with flavours.
Why Si Senor Has a Spot in So Many Dinner Plans
Honestly? We keep hearing the same things from our regulars. And we’re proud of it.
We don’t mess with the classics – We respect Mexican food too much to overcomplicate it.
The vibe is just right – Not too fancy, never too loud. You’ll feel like you’re at a mate’s place (if your mate could cook like this).
Everyone’s welcome – Meat lovers, vegans, gluten-free diners — our menu has something for all.
Service that feels like you’ve been here before – Warm, helpful, and always ready with a drink recommendation.
Thinking of a Mexican Night Out in Melbourne?
You don’t need a reason. Whether it’s your partner’s birthday, your mate’s first day at a new job, or you just need something spicy to get through the week — we’re here for it.
We cater to:
Casual dinners
Group catch-ups
Mid-week margarita runs
Date nights that need some spice
Celebrations, big or small
Want to bring the whole crew? We take group bookings at both venues, and we’ve got shared menus that make life easy.
