Mexicali Cantina Overview

Following in the footsteps of its sister restaurant in Richmond, Mexicali Rose, Essendon's popular Mexican restaurant Mexicali Cantina continues a long established family tradition of serving up authentic, sought after Mexican fare. There is something for all palates, from tacos and fajitas to enchiladas, burritos and salads - it’s all here. There is nothing revolutionary about the menu but when generous servings arrive they are skilfully presented and are packed full of flavour, putting a vibrant twist on old favourites. Inside there are plenty of 'viva la revolución' trappings such as Burrito Marimba with grilled chicken, roasted onion & capsicum with herbs, lime & tequila marinade topped with tomato chipotle sauce & sour cream, served with rice & frijoles.

ABOUT MEXICALI CANTINA
For the most authentic and sought after Mexican cuisine in Melbourne, look no further than Mexicali Cantina, the sister restaurant to Mexicali Rose which has been a Richmond institution for some 30 years.

YEARS OF EXPERIENCE & EXCELLENCE
Lori and her talented team have been creating Mexican-style dishes and beverages for many years, and Lori's family have a proud tradition of being involved in Mexican restaurants. The food is scrumptious and portions are generous enough to satisfy even the biggest of appetites. The rustic decor is enhanced by the yellow and blue coloured walls and arches.

TASTY SENSATIONS
The cocktail menu is vast and your bar host will prepare you a hand-shaken Margarita or you can select from 35 imported tequilas. For a tongue-tingling taste sensation, indulge in an entree of enchiladas and a main course of beef fajitas or a chicken chimichanga.

Delicioso!
