El Santo Geelong

Best Known For

Tacos! Tacos! Tacos! Try our chicken tinga with chipotle sauce, guacamole, pickled onion and ricotta salad.

Touted as the best Mexican outside of Mexico, El Santo on Ryrie Street in Geelong is the Mexican laneway you’ve been looking for. A brightly coloured interior paired with vibrant tunes and the watchful eyes of Mother Mary really sets the vibe for authentic dining. With a menu all about big tastes you’ll find bar snacks such a pork rind crisps with tortilla chilli salt, the ideal pairing to your margarita, while tacos come in pairs or trios where you can mix and match the likes of pork with pineapple, salsa verde and pickled onion along with crumbed market fish with slaw, grapefruit and lime mayo. Mexico’s unofficial national dish is on offer in the form of Mole Poblano: slow-cooked lamb with chocolate mole, made from more than 20 ingredients, served with smoked peppers and corn tortillas.
