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.

Great ambience and service is excellent. Cocktails and drinks are good. Hot sauce is divine. Tacos were okay, it’s not great.

Great experience dining at Mesa Verde. There was one gentleman I think Gabe was his name who explained the menu in detail and gave us great recommendations. Everything was delicious and such good value. We'll be back again!!!

The staff were rude, especially the manager. Also our orders were messed up, we got things which we didn’t order and we had to clarify a several times. Won’t be recommending this place to anyone. We had booked 2 tables as we didn’t want to go for Chefs special menu. First of all the tables were set in 2 different corners (in spite of calling them and requesting to place us closer and it was very much possible to do so). It was my partners birthday so my friends walked to our table (not as a group but one by one when they came in) to wish him and the manager said “stick to your tables”. When I said they are just coming over to wish him, he shook his head, made a face and walked off. Very unpleasant experience!!
