Enjoy!

Like any food, our recipes go better with the right drink.
There are not many places in Australia where you can have an authentic Tequila or choose among many traditional Mexican beers. We hope you come to Los Amates (pretty soon) and get the whole experience of visiting Mexico, right here in Melbourne, enjoying our food with one of our world famous Margaritas.
