   I used to come here pre-eathquakes so it had been a while and I was keen to see the improvements under new ownership (great review on Stuff, by the way). The food was great, fresh tasty ingredients, and all presented nicely. The usual strawberry habanero margarita option was replaced by pineapple habanero and it was an interesting combination. My friend's blood orange margarita was very nice. The cheesecake dessert was good and i loved the lemon curd. It was a bit noisy sometimes and my friend and I had trouble hearing each other, plus we were a bit cold. I think this was due to the bare walls and design of the echo-ey rooms. But we liked the numerous plants and the nod to Frida Kahlo in the corner. Friendly, attentive service, and it was nice to have a chat with the new owners as we were leaving. Thanks for an enjoyable Birthday meal, and I wish you both continued success :)

   Best place in town for corn chips and dip! The queso dip is insane. I had to order some to take home with me after our meal. Frozen margaritas are my favourite also. Will be back regularly for sure!

   This is a very nice place and very attentive service and recommendable. Post covid quite a few places in nz have improved with their service and catering. We tried this place first time and the restaurant wasn’t very busy. The manager was very nice and explained. The food is commendable that it does have some sort of mexican-ness to it. I’d say much better than what you get at everyday Mexican places.. We had mango chicken nachos large 28$: the corn chips were good and so was the salsa. The guacamole although felt like it was dished out of a can / supermarket jar. The serving was small compared to the price. Then we had quesadilla cheese 14$. This was ok. And worth the price; what you get at any palce. Chicken Enchilada 31$ was also an ok serve. But it was bland. However with the hot sauce it tasted much better. Fajitas (fish and prawn) 59$. I think overpriced but my partner didn’t think so. it does feed 2 people though. Try once if never had before. And lastly churros 12$ which are certainly recommended. The chocolate was nice and creamy rather than something out of a sauce bottle. Overall certainly worth visiting once. I feel though almost all the items are supermarket sourced rather than in hand made, except for the churros maybe. So kind of fast food with some handy touch.. However taste wise 4/5. Price wise 3/5. Overall 3.5..
