TNT MEXICAN RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Melbourne

Struggling to understand where all the good reviews come from? If you enjoy authentic Mexican food, you'd be better off going elsewhere or saving yourself some money and making it at home. If you're after something on the same level as Taco Bill, then come here.

The elote (Mexican corn) was clearly frozen, it did not taste fresh at all. My enchilada was served cold and the rice in our mains had clearly been cooked a day or so prior and reheated as it was extremely clumpy.

When we went up to pay, the excuse for my cold enchilada was 'Sorry your enchilada was cold. Sometimes when we put the sauce on, the temperature of the food goes down' 🤔🤨

I am also fairly certain that there was minimal to zero alcohol in my margarita as I actually hadn't eaten all day by the time we decided to come to TNT that evening. Any alcohol consumed would have immediately been felt in my head yet... nothing!

All up, we paid $100 for 1 appetizer, 2 mains, and 2 drinks. Pretty disappointing when the food wasn't fresh, it was served cold, and there was hardly any alcohol in our alcoholic drinks.

On a positive note, the waitress was really...

My partner and I came here at the end of the year (2024) for my birthday. It was our first time. It was very quiet - hopefully just because of the holidays! - and nice to sit in. The tables aren't crowded and the murals are beautiful.

Service was wonderful. We very quickly had our margaritas (delicious!) and ordered our mains. My partner got the fajita and I got the enchiladas. Very generous portions and well priced! The food was delicious.

My partner struggled a little when the sauce on her rice and veg was hotter than expected. We don't like to complain so she kept on eating but quickly the manager (I believe) noticed she wasn't eating much and came over to double check everything was ok. As soon as she heard about the sauce she gently chided us for not saying anything and rushed back to the kitchen to bring out a fresh plate with sauce on the side so my partner could enjoy her meal fully!

The churros (free for my birthday XD) were fresh, crispy and absolutely delicious! I can't fault the experience and it was a wonderful way to end...

Today was my first time trying this place. They are very friendly and accommodating to various dietary requirements. The restaurant is clean, the food is scrumptious, and the feel is homely.

I felt comfortable asking about what ingredients I could and couldn't have, and they did modifications to accommodate . The flavours are still exceptionally balanced and fresh. The food is well portioned, affordable, and wonderfully presented.

My friend's family have been loyal customers for 2+ years (since they opened), coming multiple times each month, so regulars. The staff were friendly and thanked them for being so supportive of their business and referring customers to them. It was beautiful to hear. And it was lovely when they checked in to see how our meal is going, they are so attentive. It's a rarity these days and is appreciated.

I highly recommend checking this place out and supporting them. It is a great venue for meetings, family /friend gatherings, small to large groups, and casual to...
