El Centro Essendon

Delicious value packed meal! Corn chips were amazing, served with chilli con queso and guacamole. Main meals of chicken/chorizo paella, original beef burrito, chicken fajitas and beef chimichanga. So tasty and filling. We might’ve taken dessert home for later as we were so full 🙈

Very cute, great vibe, outdoor area is beautiful and great value for money

Cozy little place, the food was good and service was great.

Great service, decor / space could do with some work. Lots of potential but no atmosphere. Extremely delicious food, just missing a couple of Mexican staples: Sangria and juicy flavourful barbacoa beef, in a rich deep sauce. The chicken, beef and pork were yummy, but my all time favourite is a rich barbacoa which was not there. Wines very poor, but I appreciate not a high priority at Mexican restaurant.

Food was amazing and really value for money (no credit card surcharge or public holiday surcharge to top it off). We have eaten here twice in 3 days, and so glad to be locals and have this at our doorstep!

The food was delicious and large servings. Great value for money. Friendly service.

The best Mexican I have tried so far. Great service, very friendly staff.

Scrumptious food, generous servings, friendly staff all round a lovely experience we will be back

Great place and service were very accommodating for our (very loud) family!

Delicious food and very authentic. Not noisy so you don’t have to shout with a cozy ambiance. Highly recommend and will return to taste other dishes.

A great little find in Essendon. The food portions are very generous and the food is amazing

Very generous tasty meal with nice environment will come another time.

was great experience, can't fault the food and the service

Food was amazing, service was great. Highly recommend. Way better than the "fast food" Mexican options.

Food was good but when paying was asked to give a tip when paying by card. Considering two different beers we asked for and one entrée were not available, I thought asking for a tip was a little rude!

This joint is really, really, really good. Great food, very affordable.

The drink I ordered was so bad! It was 3/4 glass full of ice and 1/4 drink and it was very lemony

Dinner at El Centro was great. Great food and great relaxing atmosphere

Good service. Food excellent. Good value for the money. Will be back.

We loved dining at El Centro Essendon. The flavours were fresh as delicious, portions filling and prices very reasonable. Excellent food and service. Ambiance was really good too! Will definitely go back!

We had a great time. Food was delicious. Definitely will go again.

Wow the food was so yummy . The staff were very attentive and friendly .

It was a great experience till we got the bill. The waiting period was 45 minutes which I felt was too long. The service itself was excellent but the resturant was full but they only had one waitress! They do need more staff. The food was outstanding. No wine list and only having a restricted few bottles to choose from was disappointing. What slightly curbed our enthusiasm for the meal; was being charged $106 for a $16 bottle of wine! However when the price was contested we were given a $ 40 discount on the bill. They do need to print out a wine list with more choices and prices displayed. You need to check the price of the wine before ordering if you dine there. certainly would recommend this resturant as food is really good.

Food was really fresh, and tasted really good. They need to update the menu to ensure the allergies symbols are correct but other than that we had an enjoyable evening.

The food was amazing, and great portion sizes as well
