About La Cabra Mexican - Hawthorn

Fast, vibrant Mexican dining lands right on Camberwell Road with crisp tacos and agave margaritas. Hawthorn regulars drop in for mid-week lunch deals and Taco Tuesdays, or linger out back in the sheltered, heated courtyard pavilion. The kitchen keeps pace with generous portions—from slow-cooked beef and fried fish tacos to loaded nachos and falafel burritos. Plant-based and coeliac diners get their own dedicated roster, including vegan eggplant tacos. Evenings pick up over cold beer jugs and a watermelon-mint margarita paired with char-grilled corn.

  • Heated Rear Courtyard: Covered and heated beer garden seating accommodates larger crews comfortably year-round.
  • Weekly Specials: Value-driven line-up includes $5 Taco Tuesdays, lunch specials, and weekend bottomless brunch.
  • Dietary-Friendly Options: Extensive menu alternatives cater directly to vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free eaters.
