smh.com.au [$]

Melbourne restaurant El Columpio, a Mexican eatery in Fitzroy, is praised for authentic dishes beyond tacos, including its torta sandwich and pozole soup, as of April 2026. The venue features a beef brisket torta on crusty bolillo rolls with melted Oaxaca cheese, guajillo chilli-marinated pork tacos, and lamb barbacoa tacos served with consomme on weekends. Its signature pozole, a hominy soup, is highlighted by a metres-high sign. The casual spot offers mezcal cocktails, occasional mariachi bands, and a free flan or mezcal shot for birthdays.
