Bar Tobalá,

237 Melville Road, Pascoe Vale South VIC 3044, Australia

"Very exciting and elevated little spot. Lots of thought has gone into the food, we loved the stracciatella. The cocktails are very special and we’re easily the highlight for us. Motel Tan is a drink I would travel for."

"Wow this place was fantastic! I feel like a few Mexican places have opened recently but there’s something different about this one. The food, service, stunning interiors and cocktails were all great! Will definitely be back. Nice to have a cool restaurant in this area of Coburg/Pascoe vale"

"The food was great. the service was fantastic, orders got mixed up, they fixed it without fuss and were prompt.. outstanding. Nice place. Only lost a star because there was only one red wine and it was not very good. And no horchata"

"On the corner of Melville and Bell St lies the Mexican themed @Bar.Tobala with a dynamic menu. Manchego Jalapeno Waffle Con Pollo - a crispy and spicy cornbread waffle topped with poblano chicken salad with smoky salsa macha and pickled onions. If you're expecting a light fluffy crunchy waffle, it's not this. Think what a Mexican waffle would taste like and when you eat it it would match. It's quite dense from the corn maize but tasty and it's packed with heaps of shredded chicken which makes it a hearty meal. The chicken salad has enough mayo to keep it moist without drowning it and I love the subtle spice mix which gives a lovely chilli hum to the dish. To round it off are the pickled onion rings for the perfect touch of sweetness and particularly, acidity. Awesome creation despite not being a traditional Mexican dish. Taco Asado de Puerco - homestyle ancho braised pork shoulder served with in season tomatillo salsa. The taco is delicious, encasing chunks of tender pork shoulder that ooze flavour and the slightly sour green tomato seed like tomatillo salsa balances against the meatiness. Elote - classic street corn, charred and dressed with mayonnaise, cortija & tajin Corn, boiled, charred, rolled in just enough mayo to make the cheese and chilli mix stick, this is quite moorish. Cactus Fruit Sorbet with Fresh Tropical Fruit Can't leave without dessert and something light and refreshing is exactly what the sorbet delivers in spades. It's served with a unique South American tropical fruit inside a half shell (not edible) holding a slightly sour but  tangy mango like fruit with one or two big pips. Quite enjoyable I must say. Very enjoyable dining experience with very friendly welcoming staff. #MexicanFood #dinner #waffle #corn #chickensalad #manchego #chilli #taco #braisedporkshoulder #sorbet #dessert #sweettooth #melbournefood @zomatomelb"
