    The best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to, nothing else will ever compare. The food is beyond perfection and the owner is a real credit to the experience because he makes us feel like family. He is genuinely excited to meet people and is really involved, he honestly makes me so happy to be there. All the staff are exceptionally welcoming, and the chef is outstanding! The rich fresh ingredients, always arrives hot and tastes phenomenal. Favourites are the Chilli Con Carne, the Fajitas with the sizzle plate, and the creamy scallop Del Mar. OMG and the Dulce Mousse for dessert. I just love the atmosphere, the decor, the food, the people, actually is my favourite place to eat. Thanks for always being accommodating to us and nice to everyone so we like to invite and recommend PJs in Mitcham to all our family and friends. See you again really soon!

    The Beef Supremo Burrito and Fajitas here are so delicious, mmm!!! 🀌🏻🀌🏻🀌🏻 The desserts here are top-notch too. We tried their Sticky Date Pudding, Ice Cream Nachos, and Warm Chocolate Brownie, and they all tasted heavenly!!! 🀀 I particularly recommend the Ice Cream Nachos for something unique. The staff are super kind and accommodative. 🌟🌟🌟

    5 stars for service, it was cosy and a warm atmosphere, little dark, but enough light. We had the chicken Combination Special Enchilada with the salsa, cheese and sour cream extras. And the prawn fajitas. Huge prawns, some wraps, rice, lettuce and guacamole. Overall the dishes can together, liked the well cooked sizzling prawns and the chicken taquito was delicious. I reckon maybe it was a slightly off night. Found the food to be very salty and I was unable to taste the amazing flavours that other reviewers shared. Portion size was average. Maybe overpowered by the saltiness. Giving them 4 stars the benefit of the doubt for service and the generous serving of prawns.

    We dropped in here after a long day in Melbourne with our kids who have severe allergies, and were tired. The moment we walked in the door we got a friendly greeting and a positive vibe. The staff gave our boys some friendly service with a smile and soon they were laughing (which makes our lives a lot easier). The staff were more than happy to work with their allergies, and we left feeling so much better than when we arrived. Highly recommend this venue.

    Best Mexican restaurant in Mitcham - the mixed fajitas Nachos and Enchiladas were excellent. Terrific margaritas, kids meals and thanks for the strawberry tequila on the way out πŸ˜‹

    The food was excellent, the service was amazing. The restaurant can get echoey due to the layout and materials of the building, so consider this if you're noise sensitive.

    Food was good and I highly appreciated the hot plates - food can remain nice and warm. The manager/owner and the indian girl waitress were super nice and friendly. But there are 2 caucasian girls who are not so friendly - they may have a bad day or something. I like how the bill was put inside a treasure box - it was interesting 😁

    We have been there last night, found it through google via reviews. The reviews say it all. The management and hospitality is 5 out of 5. Loved the Sangria and the food. The plates are hot to keep the dish warm for longer. The manager himself was very helpful and definitely we will go there again. Also, let's support family businesses. Thanks

    Delicious Mexican food near Heatherdale Station. Visited for Fri night dinner and ordered nachos, sizzling fajitas and enchiladas. Food was tasty, served hot with melted cheese, and reasonably priced. Pair it with your drink of choice, mexican beer, jaritos cola, or margaritas. Food came out quick and staff were attentive. Advice, Pjs is accessible through the service road on maroondah highway. Bookings recommended.

    Great Mexican restaurant hidden away just off the Maroondah Hwy on the edge of Mitcham. Food and drink is delicious with plenty of variety - service was helpful, happy and fast. The only downside in my experience was how challenging it was to get to and park (being on a one way service road)

  • 5/5 Baba N. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 92 reviews New
    Great Mexican food, warm service and the ambience was cozy cantina style. We didn’t have a reservation on a Friday night, which I would recommend next time, and they still seated the four of us straight away at 6:30, while the dinner crowd was just getting started. We’ll definitely be back for more.

  • 5/5 Stan L. 1 month ago on Google β€’ 47 reviews New
    A busy Friday night with loud chatter and smokey sizzling beef plates on tables and greeted by the owner at the door made for a great start to a evening dinner. Service by the charming young waitress was on point, the margaritas had a nice kick to them and the food was very good with generous serves. Overall a great night. Definitely not a Taco Bill's which is a good thing. Nice ambience with a not over the top Mexican decor πŸ‘Œ

    To be honest I can’t remember the names of any dish I ordered, just follow the photo you will enjoy a lovely dinner☺️Feels like home when food is served. Warm atmosphere, nice place to dine with family/friends.

  • 5/5 LizardHead 3 weeks ago on Google β€’ 42 reviews New
    Fantastic food, friendly service, generous portions. Was a bit noisy because of a very loud family next to us but would definitely return! Staff and manager were excellent and nothing was a problem for them. Some traditional music in the background would be good. Best Mexican we have had in ages! The frozen Margaritas were also delicious. Not being picky but prefer plain salt than blue but still a nice touch. Thank you for your wonderful food and service.

  • 4/5 Shar E. 8 months ago on Google β€’ 42 reviews
    Nice little venue, service was fast. Our order came out within 10 mins on a sizzling plate, fresh and tasty. The margaritas are pre mixed, unfortunately. Overall, if you're in a hurry or have time, a great place for a meal.

  • 5/5 Nick P. 4 months ago on Google β€’ 21 reviews
    Delicious food, heaps of flavour. Decent menu and options for everyone. Drinks are sensational and so is the Tequila! Atmosphere and setting is great, cannot fault the experience at all. Thank you, will be back again soon

  • 5/5 Brigitte R. 3 months ago on Google β€’ 19 reviews New
    The guy who served us was the friendliest waiter I have ever had! He managed the restaurant with a big smile and passed his happy feeling into us. It was our first time dining there meeting with people from further away in the middle somewhere. But we will go back as we all were surprised by the kindness and nice atmosphere and food.

  • 5/5 Ramiz K. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 14 reviews New
    Exceptional experience at this Mexican gem. The food was absolutely amazing, bursting with flavour. The drinks were a perfect complement, and the service staff was not only friendly but also incredibly hospitable. A must-visit for anyone craving delicious Mexican cuisine. Looking forward to visiting again.

    If you haven't been here ...... ARE YOU CRAZY. your missing out on some of the best Mexican in this part of Melbourne. Every meal in our group was delicious, and very decent servings. Fabulous Mexican drinks; and the desserts..... the crema de caramel was the best I've had - bar in Spain!. Perfectly made caramel (not burnt Basque or brulee set), with a firm set custard. So. Seriously. Good. Staff were absolutely amazing; and it's got a vibrant atmosphere, including for families. Take away also works if it's booked out. I'd have given it 10 if I could.

  • 5/5 Grace K. 5 months ago on Google
    The food was delicious but it was outshone by the wonderful service. The waiter (we assume also the owner) was fantastic and very accommodating despite us arriving an hour before our scheduled booking and wanting to alter a couple of meals on the menu. Loved the peach tequila shots and the spicy margaritas. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to our next visit!

  • 5/5 Grant T. 8 months ago on Google
    Right from the start the staff were welcoming. I was a walk in on a Saturday night and they accommodated without fuss. The food is super fresh and awesome The margaritas even better. Quick and friendly service. 5 stars all round. Must visit

    Food was delicious. Staff and service were excellent! So friendly and attentive. Will definitely return, highly recommend :)

  • 5/5 Harry H. 9 months ago on Google
    Best Mexican food we've had in 12 years, since moving from California to New Zealand (and now living in Melbourne). The portions were right, flavour was also good. Tip: If the cut of beef in the Beef Colorado had been more marbled/fatty, marinated, seared, then simmered in a Colorado sauce it would have been sublime. As it was, it was a little dry and needed seasoning. We'll come back, though.

  • 5/5 Taylah Gaynor (. 10 months ago on Google
    Incredible service! I believe we were served by the owner, who was so attentive and gave outstanding service the whole night including remembering the orders of 13 people off the top of his head! He was even happy to split the bill for us all at the end, without us having to tell him what we ordered! Fantastic night and food/ drinks were delicious too :)

  • 5/5 David 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food and service. Highly recommend. Pity I live so far away (Geelong!!) Would definitely make it a weekly visit. Thanks for the experience and for the Pink Tequila!!! Love it!

  • 5/5 Narelle W. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderfully fresh and full of flavour Mexican food. Great variety of items on the menu. Such a warm and welcoming atmosphere with attentive staff who engage with each diner. The restaurant was full on the night we dined there and the level of service/quality of food is clearly why. We’ll definitely dine there again!

  • 5/5 Brayden J. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great experience here on a busy night with a packed restaurant ( 1 x 20 person table and every other table full ) Food was served hot and was delicious, attentive waiting staff and a lovely experience at the end with the owner. 10/10 This is our new local. Many thanks 😎

  • 5/5 Tracy A. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place! The food and drinks were great, and the service was amazing. I believe we had the owner serve us and he was absolutely fantastic, really went above and beyond, his customer service was outstanding! We will most definitely be back!

  • 5/5 SADAF T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very well coming owners, friendly staff! They made sure we are having an amazing night! The owner gave us free dessert shots for our friends birthday. Amazing atmosphere, lovely team, delicious food, affordable prices!!! Cant ask for more…

  • 5/5 james s. 1 year ago on Google
    In the middle of my meal and compelled to review! Lovely food and very helpful staff. Owner was lovely enough to share a couple of shots of Tequila Rose with us, which was very thoughtful. Will absolutely come back again!

  • 4/5 Enayat M. 1 year ago on Google
    The owner was absolutely lovely. He was generous and welcoming. The food was okay in general, lower compared to some other Mexican restaurants near the city, but probably good for a suburb. Negative point: One of the staff was so in rush for taking our plates without even noticing that there was food left in our plate. We found it a bit rude. She said sorry though. Edit on 20 Dec 2022: I greatly apperciate the owner's attitude to take customers' comment constructively, hence I increased my rating.

  • 5/5 Rob M. 1 year ago on Google
    I truly love a good Mexican meal especially on a cold winters night. I found PJ's by sheer luck one day and was glad that I did. Right upon entry, we're greeted by the owner and host of this lovely establishment. Such a warm and kind hearted individual who goes out of his way to greet you. I love that! The meals at PJ's are always lovely and flavoursome. A true Mexican vibe everytime we come here. 5 stars from us.
