Dingo Ate My Taco are the team responsible for bringing birria tacos to Melbourne back in 2020 lock-down. And thank goodness they did. Since then, the Dingo kitchen has been pumping out authentic, and an entirely made-from-scratch menu of traditional Mexican and Texan dishes including their iconic birria, breakfast tacos (set to be the next big thing for Melbournians) plus so many other true-to-style MexTex dishes. The kitchen is headed up by Isaac Castellano, who at only 22 became Head Chef and part owner of the business. When Dingo aren’t popping up in Maribyrnong or the Queen Vic Markets – where their line is the longest by far – they’re serving out of their more permanent spot, The Mill Brewery in Collingwood. I went to The Mill Brewery on a Friday afternoon, and it is glorious. The log burner was on, it was cosy, the beer is excellent and I had a lovely chat to Isaac. Then he ordered me three tacos: beef brisket, chicken and beer battered deep fried avocado and I have to say, I do not know how I have been living my life without beer battered deep fried avocado before now. Delicious. Owners Kady and Paul grew up in Texas themselves and have been giving Melbournians a slice of what tacos should really taste like alongside Isaac for nearly four years.
