About Radio Mexico

Just a block off the St Kilda boardwalk, Radio Mexico pairs punchy street-food flavours with a buzzing, tequila-fuelled room. Regulars head straight for the main dining space to share crispy fish tacos, lamb cutlets, and chorizo quesadillas. Hand-pressed corn tortillas arrive fast from the kitchen—ideal before curtain call down Carlisle Street. Hand-whipped salsas scale from gentle to extra fiery, while bartenders shake tart Tommy’s margaritas. Come Monday evening, the room packs out early for two-for-one drinks alongside crackling pork belly.

  • Handmade Antojitos & Salsas: Battered fish, BBQ pork belly, and five-inch hand-pressed tacos arrive beside handmade salsa flights scaling from mild to chile++.
  • Two-for-One Monday Margaritas: Draws a lively crowd for balanced tequila cocktails, headlined by a packed Monday two-for-one margarita special.
  • Swift Pre-Theatre Dining: Fast kitchen pacing keeps tables relaxed before or after shows at the nearby National Theatre.
  • Dedicated Allergy Guide: Staff readily consult on dietary needs, providing a dedicated allergy guide sheet for stress-free ordering.

  • Effortless Pre-Theatre Dining

    Located right near St Kilda's National Theatre, the kitchen delivers fast-paced service so theatre-goers never worry about missing curtain call.

    We were in a hurry to get a show nearby and were a bit worried about how long they would take, but they were so quick that we ended up being early.

  • Unhurried Post-Show Welcomes

    Even arriving right before kitchen closing after an evening show, guests are welcomed without feeling rushed or hurried to order.

    Although they were about to close they never sped us up to order or made us feel rushed.
