The Best Mexican Restaurants in Perth
Remember when Mexican food was a box of hard-shelled tacos, a block of cheddar and a packet of spice mix? We’ve well and truly moved on from those days. Perth has a lively bunch of next-generation taquerias serving excellent south-of-the-border cuisine. There’s a spot for most occasions, whether you’re down for tacos and sundowners at La Cabana or a mezcal-soaked evening at El Publico. So do it like the Mexicans do: order a few rounds of tacos or tostadas, and pair them with a Michelada, tequila or smoky mezcal.
