European cuisine restaurant in Auckland

“Mexicali Fresh is probably one of the best chains for Mexican food in New Zealand. I'm consistently impressed with the quality of the food and the prices are pretty decent. The ambience of this particular restaurant is really nice. The portions are quite large as well - I had a mini Macho Burrito and that was probably more food than I needed. The regular size must be massive.”

“I’ve had lunch a few times here recently (my apartment is a few hundred metres away). Both times the food has been good quality cafe-style fare, and prices are reasonable for the post-COVID environment. I like the place and food and expect to eat here two to three times a fortnight. Happy to recommend to locals, people visiting Central Park for business, and anyone else who doesn’t have small noisy offspring.”

“I ordered $50 worth of fries from this takeaway for my birthday party last week. The portion was great—just enough for my friends to share. The fries were amazing: golden and crispy. What’s more, the front desk service was really attentive too. My friends all loved them.”

“Highly recommend Sweet and sour pork and combination fried rice. Will definitely try something else on my next visit”

“Absolutely impress with the food/ customer service, and I would definitely go again with my family,”

“Really good Shanghai food. Favourite dishes are the sweet & sour pork on rice, gluttonous tofu and pork buns. Been here numerous times, always very fast service and food that is full of flavour with large portion sizes for the price.”

“We stumbled upon this place by chance and decided to give it a go. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming! We absolutely loved the banh mi and coffee. The owner even took the time to explain the coffee-making process, which was such a thoughtful touch! Definitely worth giving this local gem a try!”

“I generally try each restaurant 3 times before giving a review and i must say a well deserved 5 star. Amazing flavor everytime, especially spicy veg/chicken noodles (tried them both). All meals have generous portion size and cooked to perfection, servers always friendly, smiling and respectful. Made my dads birthday celebration memorable. Thank you”

“The pork belly fat was translucent with crispy crackling, an absolute winning start. We were given a wee free sample by the owner followed by a bloody fantastic feed. We got pork, rice and a few burgers. The chicken burger wasn't just a frozen patty, it was full to the brim of beautiful chicken thigh cooked to perfection. It was onnn. What a bloody treat! The pork was perfect, chicken perfect and great customer service, very down to earth.”

“I ordered fish and chips crispy chips Chips were still crunchy on outside fluffy inside even after 15min trip home fish was nice with good batter no soggy bits Hubby happy Will be back thank you”

“Came here for the dinner buffet. For $25, it was very worth it! Food included crumbed fish, pork schnitzel, creamy chicken drumsticks, sausages and lamb ribs. All tasted very homely. The highlight was definitely the pastries! So crispy and warm. We also got the cheaper parking rates from the hotel which was a bonus as weekday city parking is usually pricey. Would highly recommend”

“Value for money, we bought 2 boxes and shared them with 6 ladies. The food was good just need to add more salt and spicy.”

“Had a $15 takeaway plastic box on the buffet type ting and after having a little bit of everything on the buffet type ting, I now wish I bought a $20 box instead. Everything on the buffet type ting was full of flavour and tasted very authentic. 10/10 would eat more of everything on the buffet type ting when I go here again”

“I always get the same thing, chicken fried rice and sweet n sour pork. Been going for15 years and the consistency is always perfect. I did try the ginger chicken once, if you love lots of ginger (chopped into matchsticks type) then u will like it, but it wasn't for me. The family that own it are not your typical Western customer service where small talk is expected (because they are busy cooking), but they show their service by fast and consistent delivery and I'm ok with that!”

“Delicious slamon slices and sushi. Friendly staff. Pricing is fair for quality.”

“Great takeaway shop, well-price fish and chips. Picked up on our way to Wenderholm and was pleasantly surprised by how nice the staff was. Decent portion size too! Unsure why some of the others are expecting restaurant quality food at a takeaways shop.”

“Our favourite place for fish and chips, Chinese AND fried chicken.”

“Despite the neighborhood resembling anything but Gangnam in Seoul I enjoyed eating here. You won’t leave hungry that’s for sure. Really enjoyed the thin cut lamb shoulder, and the East Asian adjacent Japanese beers.”

“This is a restaurant I’ve loved for many years. Every time I feel like having a beer and mussels, this is the first place that comes to mind. The tap beer is my favorite, and the mussels are always fresh and delicious. I had a great time on Mother’s day here again. Highly recommended!”

“Second visit here for some quick and easy Chinese cravings. I wasn’t a fan of the Shanghai noodles dish as it only had chicken and carrots and lacked flavour for me but my kids absolutely loved it, and since the dish was for them I’m happy if they are! The chicken, vegetables and cashew nuts is quite tasty, just order noodles or rice separately for this. Also quite liked the chicken fried rice which I asked to be made a bit spicy and they obliged. The portions are very generous too. Really liked how nothing was greasy or oily. The lady serving at the front is also quite lovely. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Childhood favourite. Really generous portion sizes. Probably the best fried fish in Auckland, always a family go-to.”

“Great food and service. We ordered a fried rice, Thai green curry noodles and the spring rolls. The spring rolls were delicious said handmade and the rice and noodles very yummy. The staff were happy and had great service. Will be back again”

“My partner and I are regulars here. We love the food, never disappoints us. Good prices, full of flavour. Our favourite Indian restaurant within an hours drive of home”

“Fantastic food, especially the Angus Beef loaded fries, my partner and I regularly get a bowl when we are in westgate and looking to grab some food. Just the one bowl is enough to fill both of us up for the next few hours at a cheap price.”

“My partner who is very picky with fried rice said it's the best fried rice she's ever had!! I think so too! Full of flavor and super tasty!”

“Food was amazing! The lamb and the chicken were well seasoned and the rice was delicious as well. The staff was very friendly as well. I really don’t understand why this place has so many negative reviews here. I’m glad that I gave it a try before looking at the reviews here.”
