About this restaurant

Lively
Good for groups
Great for creative cocktails

Finding harmony between authenticity and originality is something that first ignited the flame at Mesa Verde back in 2013 and continues to feed it today. While it’s fairly evident that an affinity for Mexican food and agave spirits is at the helm of what we do, our city’s rank on the culinary frontier has brought with it a particular nose for experimentation.

So, since we’re very literally in the heart of Melbourne up here on the sixth floor of Curtin House, high above the city’s jugular Swanston Street, we feel it’s our responsibility to highlight what Mexican dining (and drinking) looks like in the eyes of the modern Melburnian.

$10 Margaritas 4pm - 6pm daily.

Been here over 10 times over years, it’s a very lovely restaurant with the service and food quality very high. Prices reasonable and plenty of vegan of options. The rooftop next to it is a huge plus too.

Food was amazing. We had the chef's favourites set menu - they happily accommodated 3 meat eaters and 1 vegetarian. Cocktails were delicious with an amazing variety. Definitely going back. One word of warning, it was really noisy and the lighting was quite low, but didn't affect our experience - if that's not your jam then go somewhere else.
