What Vernice Franecki doesn't like about Paco y Lola:
Not sure what happened here but the food aint what it use to be. I would say that its average mexican, the environment is great and the service ids good. A little over priced but i think thats because of the location. View all feedback. What When-on-me-travels likes about Paco y Lola:
I’m a veggie but I decided to try the vegan option, and it was honestly one of the best burritos I’ve ever tasted. Absolutely loved it so went back the next day. View all feedback.

We loved the food here and it's probably the best Mexican I have ever had, and it is resonably priced for what you get. I will certainly be back.

Paco y Lola, located in the South Melbourne Market, offers a vibrant and colorful dining experience with a grungy yet inviting atmosphere. While some reviewers mentioned average food and badly mixed cocktails, the standout feature of this restaurant is its energetic and friendly staff. Despite occasional service hiccups, such as incorrect orders and long wait times, the delicious food, particularly the eggs gremolata, makes up for it. With a variety of Mexican beers to choose from and good-sized portions, Paco y Lola provides a great spot for a Mexican fix among the bustling market environment. Overall, this restaurant offers a lively and enjoyable dining experience, with the potential to become a popular favorite spot for Mexican cuisine enthusiasts.

This place has the best burritos in Melbourne! So delicious that we drive 45 minutes to get there. You can takeaway or eat in. Friendly staff.
