Touche Hombre

Right on Lonsdale Street in the city centre, you can find a little Mexico in Melbourne in the form of Touche Hombre, a taco, tostada and tequila joint with a growing reputation. Mexican food is a perennial foodie favourite, providing as it does a combination of spice, fresh ingredients and great drinks accompaniments, so it comes as no surprise that the Melbourne public enjoy Touche Hombre as much as they do.

Touche Hombre is a restaurant with a reputation for fresh flavours, spice and superb drinks. At their restaurant on Lonsdale Street in the city centre, the world of Mexican food comes to Melbourne, with a menu that is not over-complicated in its survey of the great dishes available in America’s Beard, while not missing out on any favourites. Pop in for a taco or a tostadito to discover the best that Mexican food has to offer, and don’t forget to stop for a tequila while you are there.

There is more to Touche Hombre, though, than just the food. The tacos will get you through the door – and trust us, they’re great – but what will keep you at this Lonsdale Street joint is the drinks. Tequila is a favourite, as is the Michelada, a cocktail that, like a slow Sunday afternoon hangover, hits somewhere between a Bloody Mary and a cold pint of lager. If you’re a regular reveller in Melbourne city centre, you would also do well to keep an eye out for their themed evenings: Day of the Dead is a huge thing here, as is Halloween, but do make sure to book a table, as it can fill up quickly.
