Mexican restaurant in Auckland

“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.”

“Delicious food. Consistently good. Friendly service. Value for money. Generous portions. Love the hollandaise sauce. Great coffee. Our family favourite!”

“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 :)”

“Best chorizo tacos in NZ. A must try, especially because they make their tortillas in house.”

“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.”

“I'm from Texas originally and moved to Ohio, and when I tell you this was on par and better than a lot of Mexican food from Texas I'm not trying to fool you. I just got off a 19.5 hour flight and took a shower and was looking for something to eat. Found this place and had the fish tacos and lamb tacos and my goodness, I thought I was happy just making it to New Zealand, if the food is anywhere as good as this place I'm going to be willfully much lighter in my wallet. So good”

“Went in yesterday for a burger and fries and honestly was so surprised at how much I loved the food. I had a dirty something smash burger and my partner had the spicy chicken burger; both were so tasty and good value for money. Wanted to bring my sister who was fresh off a flight but didn’t make it before closing, will be coming back next time we’re in Auckland for sure Lady who worked there was so so nice too, would recommend”

“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!”

“Super yum Waggu burger. Mine had the vegan bun and cheese (melted beautifully) which was fantastic for me being dairy free. The wedges and fries are also a very generous portion and the drink was perfectly chilled. Great service.”

“I ordered two BBQ plates after reading such enthusiastic reviews, and it was absolutely the right choice. The portions were incredibly generous and I had no trouble demolishimg my own serving which even came with two lamb chops instead of just one- a great bonus if you ask me. The staff were also exceptionally kind and welcoming, which truly topped off an already fantastic dining experience at Wicked Five Spoon Takeaways.”

“We've been here twice in the last month, and had a great meal each time. The new owners are really friendly and nice, and the bar has a nice coast atmoshere. On the Halloween night they had a dress up session with prizes, and Nelly was perfect as an Angel. The food is all great. I highly recommend the pizzas and the steak. Both are excellent. If I had to make one improvement suggestion, it would be to perhaps get a a wider range of craft beers. But generally this is a great place that I highly recommend.”

“What an awesome spot! Jose’s Cantinas brings back a lot of memories of living in SoCal, where we would go to Taco Tuesday spots religiously. Really cool setup/atmosphere, super friendly staff and a fantastic range of Mexican food options. The perfect spot for a jovial weeknight. Thanks Jose, love your work!

“I can't believe I haven't been here before as I live just down the road. Last time I was in here it was still Conch Records... Ate there for the first time with a friend who works in hospo and we were both super impressed with the tacos. Good craft beer, lots of options and (for Ponsonby) not too devastatingly expensive. Will definitely be back.”

“I am definitely saving this on my restaurant list because every single piece of what we had was amazing. The staff were really nice and helpful from explaining the menu, each dish, how their smoking system works, and offering to open some of the blinds to cool our seating area down. Do expect to leave with quite a large bill, but that's the standard price to pay for good bbq around here.”

“Lunch special sooo good at Khu Khu ....just order one of everything”

“Travelling with my cousin in Auckland. We wanted Ramen and noticed many different places with different scores. We were very lucky to find The Don. Food was amazing, we had the karage chicken starters then I had the Spicy Death Ramen. Was AMAZING. I wish we had something similar back home”

“This is our third order. We order magarita, the godfather chicken, and butter chicken. These are really delicious! Dough and toppings are so good! Staffs are so friendly!”

“Great food, can get very busy. Good vegan options.”

“cute little local pub this was our stop from auckland to hamilton (recommended stop for road-trip) food was nice staff was really friendly they have a wide range option for whiskey and a decent option for tap beers (especially for ipa lovers)”

“Best café with great prices for their food! I love that they use garlic pita bread, and their unique sauce-on-sauce combo really sets them apart from other kebab shops. Definitely recommend!”

“We drive past this place almost on a daily and finally had a chance to visit tonight. My wife and I had the most amazing evening at Blue Ox Babe Pukekohe. From the moment we walked in, the staff were exceptional hosts and welcoming. The food was pure magic!! Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. Thank you Blue Ox Babe.”

“Very impressive food, fresh and great tasting, good size portions.. Really nice owners that take care of you No complaints”

“Great food, service and atmosphere early Friday evening. Happy hour drinks are great value. Not been here for some time but will definitely be going again”

“It's been a while since I have been to this restaurant although I have had some good takeaways from it. The meal last night was of an excellent quality , with good friendly service. I continue to rate this as one of the best Japanese restaurants around. I will be back.”

“Absolutely love this pizza store! The pizzas are always fresh, full of flavour, and made just right every time. The store is clean and welcoming, and the service is quick. A big shoutout to Krish, who is always friendly, so professional and goes the extra mile to make sure customers leave happy. Highly recommend!”

“We've ordered for the first time here for a large team meeting and we're not disappointed! We had variety of veggie/chicken/beef options, from burritos, through nachos, salads and quesadillas and they were all very tasty - quesadillas being my favourite as they were huge! The delivery arrived on time which was a plus. Highly recommend!”

“Another fantastic dinner at MooMoo! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Everything was spotless from the sparkling clean toilets to the well-maintained tables. Consistently impressed every time we visit!”

“Had a Christmas dinner with work mates last night and it was fabulous. The kai was great, starting with a generous entree and pizza plus generous mains and desserts. We had takeaway containers as we couldn’t finish everything. And the service was excellent, the whole team pitched in - it was a busy night. The restaurant was jam packed but that didn’t seem to phase the waiting team at all. Congratulations on a very busy but wonderful environment, service and kai!”

“Our first time dining at this restaurant and we were absolutely impressed with the food and service. Every dish we ordered was mind blowing, absolutely delish. The service was prompt and the staff were wonderful. Thank you we will definately be back!”
