A restaurant smuggled from Mexico to Melbourne. Find Little Bourke Street’s late night mezcal bar and taqueria hidden underground in the China Town precinct, and open 7 days a week until late, including lunch Thursday - Sunday. Try a Tequila or Mezcal cocktail, or speak to our team about sipping some exciting Agave spirits instead. The $59 Feed Me banquet offers great value and a huge mix of traditional Mexican street food, plus some dishes with a twist. We also offer a $75 Bottomless Brunch on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays, with unlimited cocktails and 5 dishes; or a Pre-Theatre deal available every night of the week. We are located on the corner of Little Bourke and Crossley Street, Melbourne, with a moody bar and dining area perfect for both a quiet drink, or a larger celebration.

    Food and drinks were great as always. Staff were attentive with their service. The space was comfortable for everyone and we enjoyed the music too. Would definitely come back with a big party.

    I had a disappointing experience at Bodega underground. The feed me menu was below average, not worth the price at all. To make matters worse, our waitress was incredibly rude. She seemed like she wanted to rush us out from the moment we sat down, constantly clearing our plates and rolling her eyes. It made us feel very unwelcomed and uncomfortable. Definitely not a place I’d recommend.

    Service was great, a little confused at times (was told they would hold off on mains until we were done with starters but then mains came out anyway). Food was decidedly not good, apart from the Papas (potatoes) which were excellent. The rest of the food was super dry, unsure of it was bc it was the end of the night or if that’s how it always is. Overall not bad but would likely not come back.
