Los Amates Mexican Kitchen

Always good. Vibrant feel and friendly staff and service. Only down side is its a bit noisey but that's part of the feel of the place.

Real authentic Mexican restaurant, staff and food!! As well as amazing drinks too. Will definitely return. Price was reasonable also. Great location. Well done well done

Great vibe, very colourful & authentic. Yummy food; loved the lime margarita...The guacamole was to die for :) I will visit again soon & would recommend to all.

Food was delicious, and the cocktails were yummy! But sitting in the front part of the restaurant was really noisy because of the bar tender's blender. The tables are too small for three people to eat at. It was hard to get the staff's attention for ordering drinks. By 8pm large groups of diners were really loud in other parts of the restaurant but it still affected the front part. We got the meat street food share platter for three ($87) and each had two alcoholic drinks and it came to $190.

Margaritas and the meal were delicious! Staff were friendly too. Would definitely go back again :) Got the tasting platter and it was a great way to sample everything. Definitely do the tacos next time!

Arrived on time for our 8:00 pm reservation, seated immediately and then ignored. 3-4 tables arrived after us, were seated, given menus and water while we were still waiting. Decided after 10 minutes that it wasn't worthwhile hanging around because if they couldn't even give us menus how long were we going to wait for our meal. Went to Madam K's and had a lovely dinner.

Always brilliant! Los Amates serves traditional Mexican food that is consistently delicious and the service is always attentive and lovely. Tacos were a hit, especially the beef cheek!

Cosy atmosphere. We really enjoyed the margaritas and sangria- however the food was really greasy. We ordered the street food platter for 3, confirmed by the waiter that this would enough. Yet for $75 there was minimal food. Barely entree portions. Would not go back.

Amazing authentic Mexican flavours. Generous portions. Happy vibe and good service. No burritos here, just amazing Mexican food that would not be out of place in Mexico.

This place is amazing! Great food and excellent atmosphere. Great service. Our tabel ordered desserts twice! The only thing is that it is super busy on Saturday and they only have 2 hr dining sesisons

Absolutely amazing! The food was spectacular! Having lived near Mexico for years I can attest that this food was the most authentic Mexican food I have had since moving overseas

Very nice sangria, good atmosphere, nice fish tacos, generous and tasty nachos. Not cheap but not too expensive, good quality food. Good location in Fitzroy

Amazing food, Excellent service and Fantastic atmosphere. If you want a true Mexican experience this is where you'll get it!! Thanks for a great night

Great food and service--will def be back. Margaritas were excellent, and the borrego tacos were also fantastic. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the location is great, too.

We always enjoy their beautiful authentic Mexican cuisine, the staff are very friendly and they all create a festive atmosphere to celebrate a birthday. Prices are reasonable and the food is really good.

Amazing food and quick service! Staff are friendly and meals are reasonably priced. Would recommend and come back again. The fish tacos are a must try!

Best Mexican restaurant in Australia. Highly Recommended by a truly Mexican kitchen fan. It was Great experience for us! If you're in Melbourne don't miss it. We loved❤️,

Great food, music and service. It was a little hard to communicate with staff sometimes as they were all Latin background I presume and the restaurant was loud. But the staff were paitient. Food took some time to come out but we were there in a group of friends and had the whole night to relax and chat. The Sangria was amazing!!

Lovely staff and amazing food! The most authentic mexican I've had since being in Mexico. Will be back with all our friends and family in the future.

the food was fantastic and my snapper was cooked perfectly! My partner loved the tacos. Cocktails and service were on point! We will be back!

There are many restaurants they purport to be Mexican, but Los Amates is the real thing. Tasty food, good sized serves, and some nice margaritas to wash it down.

Not to happy very slow services cause when I order a drink I want my drink straight away and not wait when it suits the waiter/waitress, also poor with portions of meals for two people to share but the charges was the same NOT HAPPY AND WOULD NOT REFER .Have been to other Mexican restaurant before and yet to experience Value for Money.

Very tasty authentic Mexican food. They have a great range of all your favorite Mexican treats as well as some I had never tried before. Had the platter and it was good albeit a touch small for two - would pair well with an entree.

Nice homely food. Relatively small servings, (we shared the platter) but it was a nice mix (saving us having to choose!) and filling enough. The staff give it an authentic Mexican feel. I liked the Sangria :)

It is a cultural experience! My special request is that the chef put the grilled scallops wrapped in bacon back on the permanent menu, if possible, please!

3 of 5 meals were nice. 1 was ok and the other was inedible. Told two different waitresses that the dish was inedible (because it was overcooked, dry and the sauce was disgusting), and both could only say - I'll tell the chef. Would never return.

love this place. The food is amazing, it is really Latin food! Not the australian version like others... Love the vege tacos Asados Napolas and the Flan!

Good, honest, flavoursome and well-priced food in a basic and friendly environment. Been to Los Amates a couple of times, years apart, and have enjoyed it both times.

Food was not as good as it used to be. Also, we ordered a food "package" for the group, it was delivered but missing pieces, I had to ask them to bring them because some people didn't get their piece . Service was slow but the staff was very friendly

Made my reservation just 20 minutes before we arrived, but no problem. (Some restaurants don't look at their online reservation systems after service starts, so this was good.) Food was great. I had Pozole Rojo from the specials menu which was just the right level of smokey-spicy. My husband enjoyed chicken mole enchiladas. The food here is very homestyle -- different from the "taco bar" or "street food" trend at the moment. This is probably because Los Amates was around long before Mexican became trendy in Melbourne. I did notice they had updated their menu to include some more "fresh mex" kind of options but I didn't try them. Something worth noting is that almost everything on the menu is Gluten Free - so much so that they mark the things that AREN'T rather than the things that ARE. The atmosphere and service are fine but nothing amazing ... come here for the food.

Authentic Mexican, by all means it is! Ambiance is good, although the music could be turned a notch down. People have to increase their tone of voice quite a bit making it a noisy restaurant. Service overall is good but the barman could use more help to speed things up.

We had a hens dinner here the other day, it was fantastic... we ordered the $69 menu with a few things of everything and nachos and quesadilla.. there was so much food and it was all very tasty. The staff made the night though, great customer service. As it was a hens we were a little loud towards the end and doing dares and stuff, they joined in and we had a lot of fun. The decor is really cool also, they have 3 different seating areas all look comfortable and cosy. I love this place and will definitely be going back.

We really enjoyed everything we ordered the food had a lovely home cooked feel to it. We willdefinitely be going back and trying more of the menu

Delicious food. Lovely staff. A bit of a wait for food and we were pretty hungry but we didn't mind as the food, drinks were great. Some great cocktails and authentic Mexican which tasted delicious. Fab evening!

The service and food at Los Amates is always great. Arturo and his staff make you feel welcome and the ambience is relaxed and bohemian. I recommend Los Amates to people that want to enjoy real Mexican food and drinks.

Service was great and food was tasty (personal taste but I didnt like all the raw onion that was over every dish). The spicy margarita was also good!

The food was amazing, the best Mexican food I've ever had. Staff friendly and helpful. Sangria big tick from me ✅♥️♥️ Will definitely be back to try all the other dishes.

Fantastic food and service. It's a lovely restaurant in Fitzroy and the specials are always delicious. Don't forget to book because it's a buzzing place.
