Bar Tobalá

Food and drinks were excellent but service could be better, we got our entrees very quickly but waited nearly an hour for our mains which couldn't fit on the table because our entrees plates hadn't been taken yet. We also didn't receive any additional water after the first cup we got poured when we were seated.

Another enjoyable night here - first time trying the set menu, which was delish! Plus some great cocktails that we hadn't tried before. Thanks!

Food was fantastic, friendly service. Wait time can be improved.

Service was excellent and the food was terrific. Will definitely return

Great food and prices. Very nice place . Booth next time

Delicious food and the matching cocktails complemented the food perfectly.

So yum. Great flavours. Anchovies were phenomenal. Highly recommend it

They took a long time to bring our food, more than 40 minutes and everything was over priced. We decided that would be our last time visiting

Staff very helpful and friendly. Food different but good. (Perhaps a little spicy for me - but fine for my husband.) Great cocktails. Very enjoyable. 😃

Long wait time for food and drinks. Out food came out at different times and not together as a group. Overpriced Mexican food and cocktails were on the pricey side for regular bar, not a fancy inner city restaurant.

Food was very tasty although the beef and prawn tacos were VERY spicy. Staff were amazing. Environment was very relaxing. Music was not too loud - allowed conversation and prices were very reasonable. Recommend.

Really enjoyed our time here!! The drinks were yummy, food DELICIOUS, service really friendly. Highly recommend for a dinner with a group of 2-4. Absolutely loved it. Great vibes, great food! If I had to recommend a cocktail it would be the Jaffa/coffee one. Yummo!

Delicious, authentic flavours, moreish cocktails, and fantastic service. Can't believe we didn't know about this place sooner!

Good food and cocktails that you pay a premium for

Went out for partners birthday. Amazing food, cocktails and staff!

Lovely staff, fast service and great food. Can’t wait to return

amazing cocktails, super friendly service and delicious food. Will definitely be returning!

Great service Great food Lovely to have a great local

Very friendly staff and nice food. A good local hang out

Excellent cocktails and service. The food is authentic and good value.

Delicious food and great atmosphere! Would recommend and nice to have something so vibrant in the area.

Too expensive for what it is. Not good value. Food was good but you can get better somewhere else.

Staff were great but food wasn’t the best Taco tortilla all broke whilst trying to eat

The drinks and food were delicious but it was the staff that made it such a great experience. So much fun and attentive

Amazing staff despite being short staffed, food and drinks were absolutely delicious! We'll be back 😁

I was really looking forward to eat at this place and it was quite disappointing. Even though the food was great, the price doesn't match the portions at all. Also, I felt the stuff was pushy, asking to order more food and drinks. Not planning to visit agian.

The venue is very ambient with perfect lighting for good atmosphere. The staff were super accommodating and made good food recommendations. Corn was amazing and definitely recommend trio of dips which come with freshly cooked corn chips.

Great cocktails and Delicious food. Excellent service. A fun bar.

Delish food!! It was our first time and my partner confirms this may be his favourite Mexican in Melbourne. We will absolutely be back. Thank you!

Great addition to the area. Small portions but make up for it in taste. Nice selection of cocktails, not just the normal options.

Great service and fantastic food and prices! A great local.

Absolutely loved the food! So so good, great vibe. Really interesting cocktails and great wine choices. Our server was lovely! Little bit of a wait for some food but it was a super busy Saturday night so no stress. Will be back for sure!

OK, but food needs a little more flavour and zing!

So good! The salsa negra was incredible, cocktails well made and staff fun and knowledgeable

Food was delicious, drinks tasty, and the atmosphere is great.

Great food, drink, staff & atmosphere! Highly recommend a visit and more!

Not sure if they were short staffed the night of our booking as the timing of between ordering and receiving our drinks/meals was slow. The size of their meals are extremely small On a positive note they have a large drinks menu with various cocktails

Absolutely incredible food and drinks and the staff were amazing

Amazing fresh food and great service. Would def come back

Service was very slow, took about 20 minutes to order drinks and our food order wasn’t taken til an hour after we sat down. Food from the snacks part of the menu was good. Tacos were a bit unwieldy.

Everything was amazing really rated the drinks and those corn chips

Great place! So glad it's my local. Food, drinks, service consistently great.

We had such a great time, both the food and drinks were amazing. Can't wait to go back.

Really great service. Cozy atmosphere. Asked for candles on a cake as requested and they definitely pulled through.

Great food, drinks, and staff I will return again with more people

This place rocks, cocktails Devine, mezcal selection quality, food unique flavours and worlds apart from other Mexican restaurants in Melbourne, friendly attentive staff, we’ll be back for more quite regularly

Beautiful cooking and excellent service! Look forward to returning!! Thanks team Tabala

great food and amazing service, would recommend to every one

Keep coming back for more. Love bar Tobalá Delicious, thank you 🙏

Great local Mexican place, with tasty food and delish cocktails
