About The Mex

The Mex Restaurant & Bar in Ocean Grove, a vibrant Tex-Mex venue known for its lively ambience, hearty dishes, and standout cocktails.

A beloved local, originally opened in the early 1980s as Mexican Graffiti, its current incarnation, The Mex, was revitalised in 2015 under new ownership, bringing in modern decor alongside its classic charm.

Known as “the best Tex-Mex on the Bellarine Peninsula,” it offers a playful yet comfortable atmosphere that’s perfect for family dinners, date nights, or casual gatherings.

What will you find

  • Style: Tex-Mex—generous, flavourful, and hearty fare that’s more American-western fusion than strictly traditional Mexican.
  • Menu Highlights: Think burritos, fajitas, tacos, enchiladas, and beloved desserts like churros with salted caramel sauce.
  • Drinks: A standout bar scene featuring margaritas, mojitos, and other cocktails delivered with flair.
  • Dining Spaces: Indoor areas include a Main Dining room, a Bar section, and a casual Cantina. For warmer days or cozy nights, there’s also an “all-weather” beer garden with heaters and café-style blinds. Table reservations are encouraged, and walk-ins can join a waitlist if needed.
