Love the set-up, with the bar meets restaurant vibe. Really great options for dietary requirements. The quality of the food is however not consistent, sometimes it's great, and other times it's lacking. It's also a little pricey for the serving size.
Always a great dine in spot! Good food, atmosphere and perfect location
The tacos and drinks are absolutely delicious -sitting outside is nice
Fabulous margaritas and great fresh selections on the dining menu
Great service, amazing food and vibrant atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.
Watermelon margs for the win! Always a fun night @ Benzina!
Sat outside as weather was perfect , loved the fairy lights! so great to see a busy bustling restaurant. I had the enchiladas great choice delicious BUT, the hero of the night was the watermelon margarita 🍸this is a ‘must try’ if you head down to Benzina! Even though it was busy my meal arrived promptly after ordering & all waiting staff get a gold star ⭐️ this is a great restaurant for any occasion!
Had an excellent time - delicious and reasonably priced food and drinks, lovely staff! Will definitely come back!
Had a lovely time, great food and lovely friendly service 😊
The ambiance is great - I love the restaurant's style, and the staff were very friendly despite how busy it was. But for me, the food and cocktails were pretty average. The food is bog standard tex-mex.
Cocktails and food were delicious but service was slow, the staff were under the pump
Great funky vibe. Tasty food and nice cocktails. Good for a casual catchup
Awesome Margarita and delicious tacos. If you only drink wine, don’t bother as they have a very limited selection.
Friendliest staff and the food and drinks are super tasty!
They had great service and great food with reasonable prices
Lovely fresh, tasty food. The beef taco was my favourite. We sat down the back and because this was near the door to the rear courtyard it was a little bit cold and we kept our coats on throughout the meal, also seating was stools -so not the most relaxing, comfortable meal but they atmosphere was good and staff were very accommodating and friendly.
Absolutely missed eating here during the shut down and first night back did not disappoint. The fish tacos are beyond amazing 10/10 as alwaysn
Great food Great drinks Si si si!! Go there now!
Always enjoy dining here! Every time is an enjoyable experience and the food is just amazing!
The food and the waitstaff were great. However disappointed that when the next seating began to arrive they gathered inside and stood at the bar. Hence there was perhaps 80 people now in the restaurant, I had to battle the crowd to pay. Will be back again when social distancing and laws are in place.
Awesome vibe as always. Great food, music and margaritas. Thanks
Really nice servers and bar tenders, food was delicious and extremely good value for money would 10/10 recommend!
Food was amazing as always but the service was very poor. I’ve been many times and it’s always been great but this experience was not.
Tacos are great, have had most of the flavours and yum! Wouldn’t get the nachos ever again, Super salty and just didn’t like them and couldn’t even pick at them.
Super happy and attentive staff, food was tasty and fresh. Will be back, highly recommended!
Quality service, nice food! Would reconmed to go to for food
Food was outstanding. Unfortunately given the weather and lack of heating outside we had to eat and go so a little bummed that the heaters for outdoor patrons weren’t working.
Absolutley fantastic, can’t wait to go back and enjoy the great food
Delicious as always! Would recommend the corn, cant go passed it
Great food, great cocktails and lovely staff. Everything was excellent!
Were not willing to accommodate indoor seating when it was freezing cold outside and below 8 degrees. There were tables inside and the customer service was just down right disgusting. We walked out and did not eat there.
Great food but service a mess. Booked an indoor table but outside in the cold all night.
Benzina is my favourite local place to eat! The food is amazing and the staff are warm and friendly. They were busy so our food was delayed but me and my boyfriend had a great night. We love the atmosphere.
The food was Awesome, the atmosphere was great and the staff were friendly. A fun girls night out.
Fun, fresh food and good service Lovely night out with the family
Food was delicious was a good Vibe. Would Definitely recommend
I love this place! Great food and great vibe. It’s d
Best Mexican food I've had in Melbourne!!!! Service is spot on and fast.
Great food, great service and great cocktails, loved the entire experience
Don’t take bookings at 8.15 and rush us through telling us kitchen is closing. Forced to order desert and served it before we’d eaten main course. Disappointed considering the food was good.
Food and service were both great - really friendly staff and the margarita’s were the bomb! Simple, unpretentious but delicious food. The music was fun although a little on the loud side. Highly recommend!
great cocktails and tacos were tasty, wish the wait for drinks was shorter and there was more variety in the menu
Great restaurant, great food,awesome drinks and great wait staff. An enjoyable experience and can't wait to come back.
Amazing food, amazing staff & service. Great location and venue layout. Definitely will be a return customer!
Couldn’t be happier. Was absolutely delicious! Thank you very much !
Exceptional food and lovely service! The tacos were so good!
The food is great, really delicious tacos... all the tacos! The vibe is cool, if not a little loud, although it was full so you have to expect that. Staff weren't overly accommodating though... best pop next door to the studio for some yoga to get in a calm frame of mind before starting work perhaps?!? Great food can only be a means to forgive staff with attitude once, so I'd visit again to see if the team vibe is more uplifted, if not, there are plenty of other options in the area
Quick and tasty mexican food Friendly helpful staff Great atmosphere and vibes Overall a taco-tastic night
Staff were friendly, cocktails a-plenty, and the food was incredible!
Best tacos I have eaten, great margarita, friendly, quick and easy with kids. Will return soon.
