La Preferida - Melbourne

Food here is always spot on. Prepare to wait, as it gets busy, but it's definitely worth it for their fantastic food.

Good to see an authentic Mexican store. Lots of stuff I grew up with. Though small, it seemed to have all the essentials for Mexican cookery! There's even a taco truck outside!! Nice!

If the affordable prices don't make this your new favorite place for Mexican food, then the more then enough portions and authentic flavor are sure to make you a regular customer...Of course, I order Carne Asada that came with a generous size steak with grilled onions, seasoned and cooked to perfection paired with beans(no beans for me) and arroz con ganduele (yellow rice with chic peas) . They did not disappoint me with my favorite traditional Spanish dish. The menu has many options if you are looking for traditional Spanish food.The store also stands as a Spanish grocery. I like to buy Mexican spicy tamarind candy called Pelón and the lollipops that are also spicy sweetOne of my favorite places

The food is authentic, and it always makes me think of home. A must try.

I am a frequent patron of this place. Food is good. Place can get busy at times, specially on the weekends. Food prices have gone up significantly in the last few years, partly because of inflation I assume.
