Village Cantina placed its roots down in cosy Yarraville in late 2014, with a vision to reintroduce authentic and fresh Mexican food to us. Many of the decorative knick-knacks on the shelves are from Mexico itself, and a large portrait of Danny Trejo make it pretty clear you're here for true Mexican food.
