Mexican restaurant in Auckland

“I came tonight with my sister. It was such a lovely experience. I ordered a burger, and my sister got the shrimp. I had ordered the wrong burger, and they were able to correct the issue, with no additional charges. It was quite busy, but we still got our food in a reasonable time frame. The waitstaff are the best, they are very attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for a spot to eat.”

“The best kept secret in Auckland. They are currently making unbeatable birria tacos and other mexican kai. Be sure to check what hours they are selling them as it may fluctuate Also worth getting some supplies for home too”

“One of the best meals I had lately. Delicious, authentic, fresh and great portion size”

“Really tasty food, well balanced flavours. Love the ratio of meat, rice and salad. My partner doesn't eat salad so I happily had his share. So glad they had a pop up at Smales Farm but wished they could stay longer. The spaghetti and chicken was tasty too! Highly recommend the adobo, lechon and inasal.”

“We found this hidden gem today! Food is delicious, and the cocoa products are unbelievable! There is so much to try. We will come back to try every single product. Finally, a place with real and yummy fresh fruit juices. We loved the service, very friendly and cosy! Thanks, amigos. We will see ya next time!”

“It was pretty busy when we dropped in, so it took a bit to get our food but it was SO GOOD. The atmosphere is super fun, and the guy (owner?) serving us was fantastic and made sure nothing was too spicy for the kids. We got the jerk chicken, wings, Mac n cheese, empanadas, and the curry with chicken and everything was AMAZING.”

“If you’re craving a juicy, flavour-packed burger, Salt Water Burger Shop is the place to be! Their burgers are stacked with fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked patties, and buns that hold everything together without falling apart. The vibe of the shop is casual and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. A must-visit for burger lovers looking for quality, taste, and a little indulgence. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu!”

“Best Tandoori burger. If you are craving for Flavouful juicy chicken then you must try this.”

“I finally popped in here for lunch! This place has been on my radar a long time and it did not disappoint. Super welcoming staff, very cute decor. Great menu- beautiful selection of beer and wine, delicious looking cocktails. I had the duck carnitas as it was just a quick lunch for me, and they were fantastic! The duck was perfectly cooked. Highly recommend you pop in asap. Jess, Hosptiality Specialist Kakapo Business Sales”

“The best burguer on island! The waiheke burguer reminds me that burguer that Sarah used to make us in the Waiheke Bowling Club in 2018 when we worked for her at the kitchen. So delicious!”

“El Greco Greek Restaurant delivered an outstanding dining experience. The meal was delicious, authentic and expertly prepared, with fresh ingredients. The portion was generous including the Calamari starter which was amazing. The service was warm, attentive, and professional, making us feel welcome without being intrusive. A wonderful, on-the-house birthday dessert added a memorable and celebratory touch. Highly recommended for a reliably superb meal and excellent hospitality.”

“Nice juicy burgers with reasonable price. The people looking after the store is very friendly and welcoming. I’ve tried the Mushroom Magic and was not disappointed. Will definitely come back and try their other burgers on the menu.”

“Steak & chips was interesting to had - love it! Love the menu and atmosphere, ordered brown butter coffee (not my regular) as was curious about it, taste great! 5-star for me definitely recommended!”

“The best Malaysian restaurant in city by far. Have been coming here for last 18 years and have never been disappointed. Angie and her team are awesome. Keep up your great work.”

“Amazing tacos! Great tortillas and perfect amount of meat for each taco. The Mango agua Fresca was just right not too sweet and very refreshing. Will definitely be back for more”

“Lovely staff who came and turned the outdoor heater on beside me. He also checked how everything was halfway through the meal. The coffee was beautiful. I had eggs benny with avocado and haloumi and I would definitely have it again! Beautiful presentation and delicious. Will definitely be back!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Family-Friendly Gem in Birkenhead! We had lunch yesterday at Burrito House Birkenhead, and it was such a great experience! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, generous portions, and full of authentic Mexican flavours. We tried the tacos, nachos, burrito, and sides — everything was tasty and beautifully presented. What I really loved was how kids-friendly the place is. The staff were welcoming and patient, and the relaxed atmosphere made it easy to enjoy our meal while the little ones felt comfortable. Highly recommend this spot for families or anyone craving good Mexican food in a cosy, welcoming setting!!”

“I'm a big fella who gets pretty hangry. A mate recommended Olas, and it was really good. New flavours for me which I loved. I'm plant based which their menu catered for. Yum!”

“Just picked up two pizzas. Great taste, Way more nicer flavours than dominos. Sadly not much business going on. i would like to suggest trying to hand out vouchers to nearby neighbourhood and put a sign side way on top of the door. when driving pass, couldn't really see this is a pizza place. other than that, i would recommend to others. Thanks”

“One of our favourite go to spots. Great food and customer service. I ordered their mix on salad 10/10”

“Lovely little vegetarian cafe with lots of vegan options that are clearly marked on the menu. Tasty food and good service. Recommended!”

“Great place for food. Very authentic restaurants and good service. It is very much international cuisine and the quality of restaurants are very good. Expensive though.”

“The most authentic and delicious Mexican food places in Auckland. Can't recommend it enough.”

“First time visiting this restaurant tucked away in Takapuna. Glad I had my local son with me to guide me to parking and then the restaurant. Our waitress was wonderful. We started with chicken skewers and the pork belly. Both delicious. Mains were a t-bone steak and costillas (beef short ribs). Portions are generous and came with a side and a sauce. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. So much food we had to ask for containers to take food home. Our waitress brought us separate containers for the salads so they didn't wilt. She also provided tongs to pick the salad up. Just felt she went the extra mile for us. Highly recommend although someone told me earlier in the day it was expensive. This carnivore mum was delighted with the meal and thought excellent value for money.”

“Love the place. The food was yummy. Drink menu is just great, loved the mud pot drinks. We tried the chicken wings and chicken nachos and both were yummy. Must try.”

“My partner and I were visiting from Melbourne and had the best burgers and wings from Ralph’s! You can tell the kitchen makes everything from scratch and take their food very seriously. We joke all the time about flying back for a day just to eat there again. Really cool vibe to the place too and lovely service - relaxed and friendly people. Cannot recommend enough!”

“Best wine tasting I've been to - the staff is incredibly knowledgable and I learned a ton! Not to mention their wines taste great. I can't compare this winery to any of the others on Waiheke as it was the only one we were able to go to after our flight was cancelled, causing a delayed start to our day. The manager, Rory, was incredibly understanding with our potential lateness. Staff was attentive during our time with them, food was delicious, beautiful scenery. Will definitely return if we're able to make it back to Waiheke someday! Also they have a very cute winery dog :)”
