About Pacho Taqueria

Tucked inside Prahran Market, Pacho Taqueria serves street food that brings the heat of Mexico City straight to South Yarra. Mornings start with tortillas pressed fresh in-house, loaded up street-style with double layers for the carnitas—tender, deeply seasoned pork that has locals lining up mid-grocery run. Rich beef birria comes alongside house-made hot sauces that pack a genuine punch, while breakfast regulars swear by the salsa-drenched chilaquiles. Everything moves fast from the counter, with generous gluten-free options keeping coeliac diners safe and satisfied. An icy glass of Jamaica agua fresca cuts right through the spice.

  • Fresh-Pressed Tacos: Carnitas and beef birria served on double-layered tortillas pressed fresh in-house each morning.
  • Street Market Flavours: Fiery, generous portions of chilaquiles and house-blended hot sauces paired with chilled Jamaica agua fresca.
  • Coeliac Friendly: A market stall kitchen offering plenty of dedicated gluten-free choices safe for coeliac diners.

  • Double-Tortilla Street Tradition

    Tacos are served with two tortillas per taco in true Mexican tradition, complemented by genuine house-made hot sauces.

    Also I knew it was legit when there was two tortillas for one taco! And the sauces are actually spicy yum.

  • Market Morning Breakfast Ritual

    Starting the morning at Prahran Market with house-made salsas, spiced potatoes, and breakfast tacos that set a new weekend standard.

    The salsa was great, the potatoes were spicy enough to give a punch without being overpowering, and the egg was a huge surprise, it ties everything else! Perfectly. I think is now my favourite breakfast at the Market.

  • Chilaquiles

    I've been searching for chilaquiles that live up to the ones I had in Mexico, and I finally found them. The portion size was generous, the spice level was perfect, and every bite was absolutely delicious.
