Dear David, I spent a week in Perth and Freemantle in June....I didn't see a single Mexican restaurant....although there might be one there! My friend (Peter) took us to a great Indian restaurant in the Perth suburbs...I'll send Peter's email to you privately. He can advise you. Be sure to go to the Freemantle Market (Saturday?) ....lots of good food stalls with hot stuff there. And numerous little food places on the surrounding streets...you won't go hungry! Have a nice trip! We enjoyed the area!
