Ricardo Garcia Flores’s restaurant El Columpio in Fitzroy serves some of Melbourne’s best Mexican food. His second location, this time in St Kilda, does too.

Some of El Columpio’s best-known dishes include steak for breakfast and pozole (a Mexican soup). But only a handful of bestsellers, like the suadero beef brisket tacos, have come down from the Fitzroy mothership. The rest of the menu is rounded out by a handful of tacos which change with the seasons.

The unassuming kiosk has panoramic views of St Kilda beach and gets plenty of sunshine. Pull up a chair.
