Pretty mid veggie burrito. Not a lot of flavor. A little bit too wet. Restaurant and service were nice

start with the fresh crispy tortilla chips and spicy salsa with the Pico de Gallo, then devour delicious huevos con chorizo, and the BEST pozole! Every bite is a flavor punch; bold and melt-in-the-mouth goodness.

Have been to Mellissa is a little bit order super nachos with carne Asada. Very disappointed. The chips were stale. Even the chips on the side. How can you have stale chips in nachos so won't be going back anytime.

I have lived in Brisbane for 3 decades now. When my kids were younger, this was a regular spot for them after school for nachos with everything or for family dinners or occasional weekend breakfast. Since they have grown, I don't go as often, but drop in from time to time. I work long hours, generally getting back to town late, plus my big meal of the day is lunch and I generally don't eat an evening meal. This spot has a lovely atmosphere and Rafael is the nicest/kindest man! As an aside, he is also a wonderful supporter of many of the non-profits in Brisbane, so he is well loved and appreciated by the residents. I stopped in recently and ordered pozole, which I had never had here before. I can vouch for the menudo being great though. To my delight, the pozole was AMAZING!!! The to-go bag was packed with rolled up warm tortillas, a sliced whole lime wrapped in foil and small containers full of chopped up raddish, cabbage, an onion and fresh parsley blend, hot sauce (YUM!) and then chips and fresh salsa/pico de gallo as well. The pozole so knocked my socks off that I went back to get it again, this last Sunday, but he said he had sold out the day before... due to it being a popular order during cold/wet weather. He said he would have some this week, so I stopped in last night and bought two big containers - again, absolutely delicious! I finished a half containter last night and brought the unopened one into work today to share with my coworker, who says pozole is her favorite soup of all time, that her family makes it often as well, and she gave this one high praise and even went back for seconds. I am hoping Rafael keeps this as a regular on his menu as I can see myself ordering this weekly, in bulk, just to have in the fridge for lunch or dinner over a few days. Happy to know easy and friendly access to this deliciousness exists so close to home for me... but it would be worth the drive as well!

I’ve been coming 2x week for 2 years, and last week they started charging extra for extra salsa/pico de gallo. You can order 6 tacos and you won’t get more chips or salsa, you just have to split it with the whole party.
The place is iiiight. Guy that owns it is kinda a prick. Food is mediocre at best . But its the only Mexican joint in Brisbane so there you have it. Stingy with the pico de gallo

Food is horrible. I had Taco (crispy) and Chile. My husband ordered flautas, the chile was old and had a strong taste of vinegar, I’m not sure if the cheese was old or getting bad. The flautas were super over cooked, almost burn. I wanted to like this place. But definitely not worth it. Beans had no flavor at all. The only thing I enjoyed was the decoration.

Rafael is a wonderful owner. He is hands on and I just love everything I have had there. I can not say enough about this place. I tried his Mexican suchi ( off menu) and we order it on special Occasions for horderves.

Lovely local Mexican restaurant ran by a father/daughter team. Cozy and inviting with delicious, well priced meals. Eat in or takeout. I probably shouldn't tell you this but he makes the best flan ever!Vegetarian options: They will modify dishes were possible to accommodate you. My daughter is a vegan and eats there.Dietary restrictions: Again, they are thoughtful and accommodating when possible.
