Went for dinner. We were running late and they were happy to move our booking to an hour later. Ordered birria tacos, pork carnitos and steak tacos. The birria is amazing. The chicaron in the pork tacos adds an amazing texture to the soft shell tacos. Did I mention u can order crickets. Honestly they taste like chips if u ignore that they are bugs. Ordered a mixed platter to share. There is chorizo, rump steak, chicken, pork belly. There is a choice of protein for everyone. Unfortunately the rump was medium well rather than medium rare. A bit on the tougher side.

Best Mexican food in WA and my new favourite restaurant in the area! The food was fantastic, but the mole icecream is where the chef really shows off their creativity. The juxtaposition of the spices and the cream creates a flavour explosion in my mouth of pure joy. I haven't had something so innovative in food for ages. The tacos were fantastic too. I preferred the carne asada one but the fish taco was also good. The crickets taste like popcorn and are fun to eat taco style with an order of tortillas and the green chile salsa. The beef Mogo Mogo balls were surprising full of shredded beef and the dipping sauce went great with it. The tortillas tasted just like the tortillerias from Mexico They're really doing great things at this place!

Amazing Mexican food! The flavors are really authentic, we had the empanadas and tacos and they took me back home! The portions were a good size, perfect for sharing. Great venue and the service was exceptional, very friendly staff. Thank you!!! Definitely the best Mexican food you can get in Perth!

I've recently attended this restaurant where I was greeted by the manager and staff with a beautiful smile. I ordered some tacos, damn amazing I must add. I had to order more because of how lovely they are. I also have eaten the mixed grill and a few other items on the menu previously, I come here often to eat the beautiful food and enjoy a nice drink. The staff were very kind and prompt when I asked about the items on the menu.

Cute little spot in mount lawley. Chicken taco was the stand out dish. The asada steak taco lacked flavour. Also the music wasn't matching the theme/atmosphere of the place but overall a fun experience.

Such a cute Mexican restaurant and bar. Loved the pulled pork and battered fish taco! The blue spot emperor ceviche was so refreshing with the pineapples. I'm definitely coming back to try the mix grill which looked amazing!

Very good place to try Mexican food. We enjoyed it. Ohhh and how good their hot sauces! Yum!!!! I liked atmosphere, music. friendly staff.

Ive never been to Mexico but this is what I imagine authentic Mexican food to taste like. Everything was delicious but our server didnt really seem to care much.

A great and authentic Mexican restaurant with a good atmosphere. Service was good and the food was delicious. The cocktails are a must.

Awesome food and cocktails, staff were great!

Was so tasty, except I wasn't a fan of the sauce on the fish taco. Highly rate everything else though

Came here late last Friday unfortunately hadn't made a reservation but they still managed to seat us. Absolutely incredible staff so friendly and very attentive to my partner's dietary requirements, phenomenal service. Food was just as amazing probably one of the best Mexican places in Perth cannot recommend this enough. Will definitely be coming back here thanks heaps el Publico!

Great food and cocktials but the table service was very lacking and staff seemed quite rude when they finally came to our table to take our orders. We also got rushed out the door due to the next booking being here so felt very rushed and hence not long after leaving we discovered we had accidentally left a make up bag (with very expensive make up in it) at the table that when I went back 5 minutes later to recover was mysteriously not there any longer (even though the next booking weren't even seated at the table yet, only had the table contents cleared) Not a pleasant experience this time around at all, so quite disappointing to be honest.

Service was OUTSTANDING! Bar was OUTSTANDING! Food was OUTSTANDING AND AMAZING! I can't wait to go back and I live in the USA!

Had a wonderful experience at El Publico. One of the best Mexican restaurants in Perth for sure. The food is served with incredible speed, service is good - and most importantly the food tastes delicious as well. We had a variety of dishes from tacos through to ceviche and they were all packed with unique flavours. If you want a drink then they have a solid assortment of drinks on offer. Great atmosphere - will definitely visit here again!

Went for dinner on Saturday night - great atmosphere and great service, but best of all was the food! We did the feed me menu and it didn’t disappoint. Everything was delicious and gluten free which was great for my wife! Thanks for a great experience 😊

My taste buds were awaken at this spot! Really delicious Authentic but slightly twisted to Aussie Mexican. The tortillas smelt so beautifully corn. Beef brisket tacos were soft and tender. Everything was perfect. Will definitely be back again.
