About La Cabaña

Perth locals flock to this breezy South Freo courtyard for vibrant coastal Mexican fare and dialed-in agave cocktails. The kitchen leans heavily gluten-free without sacrificing depth—cranking out crispy corn tentacles, fresh fish tacos, and charred sweet potatoes. Tableside bottles of house-made hot sauce bring heat in unexpected profiles like pineapple-passionfruit and berry. Settle into the dog-friendly patio with a spicy margarita, where staff pass around blankets as the Fremantle Doctor rolls off the beach.

  • Gluten-Free Focus: The kitchen builds an extensively gluten-free menu without compromising flavor, alongside dedicated gluten-free and non-alcoholic beers.
  • Proprietary Hot Sauces: Tables feature house-crafted bottled hot sauces with unique profiles like pineapple-passionfruit and berry, also available to take home.
  • Coastal Courtyard Comfort: A lush, dog-friendly outdoor space stocked with cozy blankets to ward off cool beachside breezes.

  • Beachside Courtyard Comfort with Blankets

    The outdoor courtyard provides a comfortable setting by the beach with leafy decor and blankets provided when coastal breezes blow in.

    The plants are gorgeous, and they even provide blankets if you get cold, which is a common occurrence by the beach in Freo.

    Tacos feature house-made tortillas balanced with char, acid, and heat, complemented by craft cocktails poured with precision.

    Fresh, properly made tortillas, fillings with real depth of flavour and that ideal balance of char, acid and heat that so many places miss.
