Paco Y Lola - Melbourne

This place had delicious pollo burritos. It was like eating a chicken quesadilla. The pollo burrito had no rice and was filled with a proportionate amounts of chicken, beans, and cheese that was grilled to a crunchy perfection. The beef burrito was good, but had a lot of rice. I loved the spicy sauce that comes in the squeeze bottle with no identifier (store made? . They have inside and outside seating. It looked like two different restaurants, but they are the same. Their water comes with a giant mint stem with beautiful leaves. The food did take some time to come out even though they did not appear so busy. Customer service was friendly.

The aromas caught me walking by so brunch it was. Menu is of course Mexican ish and looked yummy. Seated quickly and ordered just as quickly the breakfast pan egg in a pan topped with bacon, chorizo, cherry tomatoes mushrooms spinach and a relish. Mucho yummo it looked like and indeed it was. Service was pretty good although the staff were a bit dizzy they were so busy. Hey, I'm rhymin! Anyhow it was a great brekky, strong coffee and well worth a visit.

Chip to guac ratio not balanced with too much guac and not enough corn chips however I'm willing to let it slide as I don't really like the texture of avocado anyway. I'm a loyal ambassador of their $12 pollo (chicken burrito. The way the South American spices smolder with the sour cream is just ahhhhhh... ; Tried the fish tacos for the first time during this visit and it's a yes from me! Fresh lime, fresh fish, fresh coleslaw really can't fault the calibre of their Mexican street fair. Alfresco seating available, good for people watching on a warm South Melbourne market Spring day. Expect to be charged more if you dine in.

I love Mexican food and Paco Y Lola does not disappoint. The flavors and spice that I expect are delivered full force. This restaurant is inconspicuously located on the Northeast corner of South Melbourne Market. The outside patio is often packed and chaotic, while the inside dining is quite and slower paced. I have been to Paco Y Lola 4 times now and have been just as impressed as the first. It has become my favorite locale for Mexican food. The fish tostadas are superb! Each trip I have ordered something different and enjoyed each very much.

Love this place! I've literally come here every Sunday since I moved to Melbourne a year ago. I love coming to the markets to do my weekly shopping, and then stopping off for a cold Mexican cola and tasty quesadillas at Paco y Lola. The first few times I visited they seemed to be struggling a little bit... but I feel like they've really gotten into the groove recently. Some of the food here is actually really awesome any dish with the refried beans is a winner. Personally, I'm a fan of the bean and corn quesadillas they don't look like much food but they always fill me up. They're just the right amount of chewy and crispy, and they come with a few forkfulls of fresh chopped tomato salsa and sour cream. The best part of Paco Y Lola is definitely the salsa that you get with any meal. There's a tomatillo salsa that's just divine, and a smokey red one with just the right amount of spicy bite. If you don't feel like eating inside there's plenty of space undercover outside, and there's a little tent outside that sells chicken burritos, quesadillas and corn fritters takeaway they're a bit cheaper as well. Although the service can sometimes be a little bit dodgy, I think that this place is awesome! It's really simple and relatively cheap, and best of all you know exactly what to expect every time.
