Restaurants with Full Details
#1 Nachos Mexican Cantina — 141 Nepean Highway
Mexican
What makes it great: The word of mouth around Nachos Mexican Cantina has done more than any review ever could. The tortillas are the foundation. If they are made in-house from nixtamalized corn, you are in the right place. If not, you are eating a wrapper. Worth crossing Aspendale for. Worth crossing Melbourne for, honestly.

#2 Le Hoang Vietnamese Restaurant — 145 Nepean Highway
Vietnamese
What makes it great: The word of mouth around Le Hoang Vietnamese Restaurant has done more than any review ever could. The broth takes the better part of a day to build. You can taste every hour in it. Not the flashiest option in Aspendale. Possibly the best.
