Mission District

We are now running weekly cocktail specials! 🍹

First cocktail - Guava Collins. Poor Tom’s strawberry gin, guava, lemon, sugar & soda

Try our housemade aguas frescas! These drinks are staples in Mexican cuisine.

Jamaica - hibiscus iced tea
Horchata - cinnamon rice milk
Pink Limonada - limeade with a dash of hibiscus syrup

When we think of Mexican food, we think of fun and the fun is in sharing and creating a bit of a mess!

Our Chile con Queso nachos aren't traditionally Mexican but more of an Americanised Mexican dish. The nachos aren't baked but drizzled with chile con queso (a molten cheese sauce).

This is one of our signature dishes

Tacos on the pass for a large group dining with us this week!

We’re able to accommodate groups of 14 in the restaurant on our feed me menu, a selection of our favourite dishes including our birria tacos and pork carnitas tacos (pictured) for 65 per person

Jenna here, co-owner of Mission District. Here to tell you about my favourite margarita, the Mezcal Tamarindo.

I would always prefer to drink a mezcal marg over a regular marg. I just love the smokiness that mezcal brings. And tamarind, is a flavour I love, but one that I find really hard to describe. It's a tropical fruit that has both a sweet and sour flavour, but also kinda earthy and tangy. In Mexico you can order a tamarind agua fresca by the litre! I love it.

So next time you go to order a classic margarita, maybe be adventurous and try something different that we love!

Tuna Tostadas are a must! This is our version of the Contramar Tuna Tostada.

Contramar is an Italian Mexican Seafood restaurant in Mexico City - famous for literally inventing the tuna tostada about 30 years ago.

Get a taste of Mexico City in Ripponlea, remember to order the tuna tostada next time you are dining in with us

Taking inspiration from the states, here is our delicious, warm, chocolate skillet cookie, served with vanilla ice cream. Don't just get churros, try it next time you're in!
