Saporito Taquito

Quality, authentic Mexican. The smell of corn had my mouth watering as soon as we walked in! 🤤 🌽 All reasonably priced, servings are a great size to get a few things and share. Excellent flavours! Also the texture on those black beans! *chefs kiss* Friendly, prompt service. Strawberry Margaritas so damn good too. Thanks guys! Will be back 😍

We visited Saporito Taquito on a weeknight to celebrate a colleague’s work anniversary. It’s a hidden Mexican treasure in Southbank - unassuming and tucked away on quiet Kavanagh Street. Don’t let this fool you though, it’s one of the most legitimate and authentic Mexican restaurants in Melbourne. They have more than just your standard tacos here - it’s a wide variant of authentic Mexican flavours which are all tapas. You must try the Croquettes, Tamales, Gorditas and Tostadas. And of course, don’t forget to order some tequilas and margaritas as well! Saporito Taquito has a local restaurant vibe and gives you the feeling as if you’re visiting Mexico. Definitely check this place out the next time you’re craving Mexican food!

Food was pretty good up until the beef tacos came out. Margaritas are all frozen but delicious. The spicy one has a nice kick! Not sure if I'd call it authentic Mexican. Unfortunately the beef tacos were the last things we ordered so left a sad impression. They were literally stewed beef strips with onion on a taco. No greenery or binding ingredients. The lighting was clinical white and harsh. The staff started mopping with bleach around us while we were still eating.
