" I stumbled upon Melissa’s when searching for a bite in Brisbane. The staff were so friendly and offered recommendations which helped a lot. I ordered a taco combo and was thrilled with how flavorful and well-prepared everything was! The sauces were zesty and each bite was bursting with spice and seasoning. Though the wait was a tad long, it gave us just enough time to take in the warm decor and cozy environment of the place. I’d suggest this restaurant for anyone who craves authentic Mexican meals. You will definitely find a delightful experience here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had my fair share of Mexican food, and Melissa's is one of the good ones for sure! I recently ordered the grilled chicken tacos, and the meat was juicy and well-seasoned. The accompanying sides were great too. I find that the flavors here remind me of the authentic dishes I'd eat back home. The environment is warm, and they keep the place clean and tidy. The price is fair for what you receive, I always leave satisfied. One thing I might suggest is to have more variety in their drink menu. I'd be happy to return again when I’m craving some delicious tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" Melissa's is a charming little spot to grab some great Mexican food. The carne asada fries are unlike any I’ve had, loaded with flavor and so comforting! I also got to taste their horchata, an absolute must-have, incredibly refreshing and delicious. The restaurant wasn't that busy when I went, and the service was prompt, which I was grateful for. For the prices, the portions are very generous! It’s a fantastic hole-in-the-wall place; I could easily see myself becoming a regular. Don’t miss out on their house-made salsas; they add an extra kick to every dish! I’m definitely coming back for more soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I truly enjoyed my recent visit to Melissa's Taqueria with my family. We tried multiple dishes, and everything was really good. The carne asada was tender, and the spices used were just right. The kids loved their quesadillas, and we were happy to share some of their amazing guacamole. The atmosphere is lovely; it feels very homey and welcoming. However, the service was a bit slower than expected and could definitely use some improvement. We waited longer than we’d like, but it was worth it for the food! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy authentic Mexican flavors in a family-friendly setting. Can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Melissa's Taqueria to be a delightful spot! The burrito I ordered was massive, filled with high-quality ingredients. The flavors were authentic, and it was topped with the most delicious salsa. The only downside was that our server seemed to be a bit overwhelmed during the lunch crowd. However, the food certainly made up for any delays. It's a great choice for those craving traditional Mexican food in a cozy setting, and I can't wait to come back and try more from their extensive menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Melissa's Taqueria is my new go-to spot! I've been several times and keep returning for their delightful dishes. The burritos are filled to the max with flavorful meats and vegetables, making for a perfect meal. I adore the salsa they serve on the side; it has the ideal kick! The environment is homey, providing a relaxed dining experience, although it can get a bit loud during peak hours. The only downside was a slow initial greeting upon seating; however, once we ordered, everything flowed smoothly. Wouldn’t change a thing about the food, just a bit of improvement needed on the service side would make this a perfect experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Melissa's Taqueria last weekend following a coworker's recommendation, and it certainly lived up to the hype! The food quality was exceptional, with fresh ingredients and delicious flavors in every bite. Pricing is very reasonable given the portion sizes, which are quite generous. The atmosphere was vibrant and cozy, perfect for gathering with friends. I can see myself coming back many times in the future, especially since they have a variety of tempting dishes I wish to try! If you haven't been here yet, you’re missing out! " (*Curated Review*)
