About Latin Foods and Wines

Tucked into Melton, this hybrid cafe and grocer delivers regional South American staples across outer Melbourne. Diners drop by for golden, scratch-made empanadas and stacked Chilean chacareros layered with tender steak, green beans, and mayo on soft rolls. Shelves line the room with imported pantry goods, bottles of regional wine, and cuts like morcillas—making it easy to grab frozen tamales or dulce de leche treats on the way out.

  • Pan-Latin Comfort Classics: House-made empanadas come fried or baked in fillings from chilli beef to chorizo, alongside hefty Chilean chacarero steak rolls.
  • Imported Pantry & Deli Items: A fully stocked market section carries regional wines, specialty butchery cuts, frozen meals, and hard-to-find South American pantry goods.
