Located in the heart of Thornbury, Little Tienda is not just a café; it's a vibrant celebration of authentic Mexican cuisine that brings a delightful twist to your brunch experience. With its inviting atmosphere and a cozy dog-friendly courtyard draped in greenery, this café has rapidly become a beloved local gem.

Step inside and you're greeted by an aroma that entices your senses—smoky, spicy, and utterly delicious. The menu is a mouthwatering showcase of Mexican flavors, featuring standout dishes like the Brekkie Torta, where a perfectly fried egg meets chipotle mayonnaise, creamy avocado, fresh spinach, and savory pinto beans nestled in a soft milk bun. Choose between bacon or mushrooms to personalize this delectable delight, making every bite burst with flavors that dance on your palate. For those craving something hearty, the Pulled Pork Torta is a must-try, with juicy pulled pork, vibrant citrus slaw, and the perfect zing from chipotle mayonnaise, all harmonizing beautifully with the accompanying pinto beans.

The burritos are equally impressive—the Pulled Pork Burrito envelops its tender filling with a medley of flavors, highlighted by sweet achiote and smokey pinto beans, while the Vegan Burrito invites you to indulge without compromise, featuring blackened mushrooms and roasted vegetables wrapped in a warm tortilla. For a quick bite, their Taco Specials are equally enticing; the Fried Egg Taco topped with salsa verde and avocado is a brunch revelation, while the Black Bean Taco packs a delicious punch that will keep you coming back for more.

Real customer experiences echo this sentiment. One satisfied guest, Misklectic, highlighted the impeccable service and inviting courtyard environment for hosting friendly gatherings, saying it felt “incredible for value.” Vyen Shin raves about the unique Mexican breakfast options that provide a welcome departure from traditional brunch fare. And for dog lovers, Little Tienda is a paradise; Victoria Newdick can't get enough of their dog-friendly space and sweet iced strawberry matcha pairings with her favorite black bean tacos.

Our favourite cafe - the food is delicious, the coffee is excellent and the service is top-notch. The courtyard is really nice, highly recommend this place to host a large brunch. We essentially had the whole venue to ourselves - it was incredible for value and we all felt very taken care of. All the staff and manager are so lovely, we find ourselves coming back on the regular. Also dog friendly, takeaway hot sauce and drinks available - Little Tienda is a local legend!

Mexican brekkie is definitely something different from the ordinary brunch! We tried their breakfast burrito, quesadilla and taco special and they were all hearty and delicious food! They’ve got a cozy and dog friendly courtyard too!

I love coming here with my dog, the courtyard is so pretty with all the plants, the staff are so friendly and love my dog. I often have the black bean tacos, with one of the best iced strawberry matcha I’ve had In Melbourne. I couldn’t recommend this place more especially if you’re looking for something dog friendly

If you’re craving authentic Mexican food in Melbourne, this Thornbury café is a must-visit! The vibrant, welcoming atmosphere perfectly complements the flavorful dishes. The tacos are a standout - tender, juicy, and full of flavour. The guacamole is fresh and creamy, and the burritos are generously stuffed with tasty fillings.

What a hidden gem! Popped in for a quick brunch, all the staff were super friendly and helpful. The food came out quickly and tasted delicious. I had the huevos rancheros, they had an amazing balance of flavours! Cannot recommend this place enough. It was my first visit today, surely not my last!
