La Cabra To Bring Mexico Bayside, With The Opening Of Its New Mordialloc Venue & Rooftop Bar

Victoria's favourite modern Mexican restaurant, La Cabra, will open its ninth venue in Mordialloc – its biggest venue to date. Situated in a heritage-listed building on Main Street, the new opening will boast an impressive rooftop and sweeping views of Melbourne's bayside, providing the perfect place to sip in the sunshine and for sunset sessions this summer. 

To celebrate the opening week, La Cabra Mordialloc will run some knock-out menu offers from 7 – 13 December, offering $10 margaritas and pints and $5 tacos and pots, kicking off the summer season with a reason to say ¡salud! 

The flagship venue is extra special for Co-founders Sherinder Kohli, Derrick Chandra and Joshua Smith, who were born, raised and met in Mordialloc. The new restaurant marks a return to their roots and they're excited to bring their passion for bold flavours and the vibrant Mexican fiesta to their hometown.

"We've always dreamed of bringing La Cabra to Mordialloc, and having the opportunity to open our flagship venue here is truly special," says Co-founder, Sherrinder Kohli. "Not only does this venue showcase the best of what we do, but it also gives us the chance to share our love for Mexican food in a place where the idea for La Cabra started and shaped who we are today," adds, Co-founder, Joshua Smith. 

The venue's interiors will stay true to La Cabra's signature playful style and the downstairs restaurant will greet guests with colourful murals, fun neon light fixtures and an open kitchen, giving diners a front-row seat to the action. The outdoor courtyard will offer a 40-cover oasis, adorned with hanging planters 'Day of the Dead' themed skulls, and come equipped with a retractable roof and heaters for the changeable Melbourne weather. Moving upstairs, the second level will play host to a private 80-cover function room, with a beautiful skylight flooding the room with natural light; perfect for end-of-year parties, summer soirees and celebrations of all kinds.

The rooftop, however, is set to have the best seats in the house. With plush lounge chairs for guests to sink into, snacks and tacos will be available whilst the central white and blue mosaic tiled bar will be slinging out margaritas.

The Mordialloc menu will offer all of La Cabra's favourite dishes, including tacos, burritos and quesadillas, along with flavour-packed snacks to share; highlights include: 

La Cabra's bar will be shaking up an extensive selection of Herradura tequila-based cocktails, made with 100% Blue Weber Agave. Set to be the drink of the summer, margaritas on the menu include: 

Frozen margaritas will also be available, with flavours changing daily, alongside tequila tastings and cocktail jugs for those ready to settle in for sundowners. 

Moreover, kicking of 2025 with a bang, from Monday, 13 January - Sunday, 30 March, anyone who dines at the new La Cabra Mordialloc restaurant, and leaves with a bill of just $50, will enter the ballot to win a week-long trip to Mexico for two, including flights, accommodation and a tour of Mexico's iconic Casa Herradura Tequila Distillery.
