el Publico

el Publico sits on Beaufort Street at Highgate, near the popular Mount Lawley dining strip just north of Perth's CBD. A vibrant, much-loved Mexican restaurant and bar, it's earned a strong reputation for its creative, flavour-packed Mexican cooking, good drinks and lively atmosphere — the kind of fun, sociable spot that's become a genuine favourite for a night out.

The appeal is that combination of inventive, authentic-leaning Mexican food, a great drinks offering — think margaritas and more — and a buzzing, welcoming atmosphere on a popular strip, ideal for a group dinner, drinks and shared plates or a fun night out. Its creative, energetic approach to Mexican dining has clearly resonated, drawing a big, loyal crowd.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,500 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Beaufort Street venue fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or planning a livelier night out.
