Tex-Mex done right is what you’ll get on the plate at Carlos Cantina on Railway Road in Blackburn. From sizzling fajitas to classic cheesy nachos, the menu is a celebration of vibrant and diverse Mexican tradition, all served in fun and funky surrounds of recycled timber, glowing neon signage and brightly coloured striped banquette seating. Meet amigos to don your sombrero and start the fiesta with beer-battered fish tacos, shredded cabbage, guacamole, chipotle aioli, fresh pico de gallo and lime; before sizzling beef fajitas, sautéed with capsicum and onion, served in soft flour tortillas. Perhaps chicken enchiladas hit the mark served with rice and frijoles, or prawns and scallops in creamy tangy seafood sauce with avocado, cheese, rice and frijoles, washed down with a Mexican punch.
