Mexican restaurant in Auckland

“Had the fried chicken rice bowl and it was excellent. At $20, a very reasonable dinner. Also had the shredded chicken tacos and they were delicious too -$16. Love how you can just order you own at the counter on the computer system. Lots of seating in the food hall and a nice bar for drinks”

“Fresh bread just like home, delicious and goes well for breakfast or lunch”

“I stopped by Gourmet Burger and Brew Kitchen for a quick coffee break and had their latte, priced at $5.50. The coffee was decent, smooth, and well-made, though nothing extraordinary. The ambiance was cozy and casual, making it a good spot for a brief stop. While the latte was a bit on the pricier side for its quality, the overall experience was pleasant enough if you're in the area and looking for a comfortable place to relax for a while. Would come back to try their food, but for just coffee, there might be better options nearby.”

“Delicious food at very reasonable prices. The lady boss is extremely friendly and helpful. I’ve read some comments saying the restaurant wasn’t clean or organized, but in my opinion, the owner has been taking very good care of the place. They took over from the previous restaurant, Love a Duck, which was honestly terrible. Since then, the improvement has been huge. For me, there’s no doubt this is one of the best Asian cuisine spots in the area.”

“Came here with my family for a Sunday lunch. The staff are very friendly and our server was lovely. Atmosphere of the restaurant is always so fun and lovely. The food came out quickly and was delicious. Portions are great for a fair price. Everyone enjoyed their lunch and midday desserts.”

“Absolutely loved our visit to Flying Burrito Brothers Newmarket! The atmosphere was vibrant but still relaxed, and the staff were friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The food was packed with flavour everything tasted fresh and tasty. The tacos were a standout, especially the pulled pork and chicken options, and the guacamole was fresh and delicious. The cocktails were also really well made and complemented the meal perfectly. Service was quick and attentive and the team made sure we were well looked after the whole time. Great find for dining or a night out with friends. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

“We came to Baha Betty for lunch today. The waiter was friendly and the food was quick to arrive. We got the Lobster Po-Buoys dish, and it was delicious with tons of flavour. We also got the Shoestring Fries to share, and they tasted great as well. We did stick to the cheaper dishes, but the meal was still very filling and was plated nicely. The atmosphere was nice and decorative, but I found that the music was quite inappropriate and loud, which made conversation difficult. The place was pretty much empty as well as there were plenty of seats inside. If you don't mind a moderately-priced place to have a bite to eat, this is a great choice, and the chefs are fast at making the meals! I'll definitely come here again, as I am keen to try more of the menu.”

“Today was my first time visiting this spot, and I’ve got to say the service was absolutely next-level. The place has a real cosmopolitan vibe, full of warmth and genuine hospitality. The food and coffee were packed with flavour, well beyond what I expected, and it truly makes this place a stand-out here in Takanini. Massive thanks to the team for all your hard work you’re doing an outstanding job.”

“Great place for dinner, we loved there food and the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, and the quality was amazing, will be back again thanks.”

“Love this place real good for salads and uber eats”

“Food is amazing here. Mexico chicken, croquettes, fish tacos, pork carnitas tacos were the standout. The sangria is very refreshing as well. Service is a little slow (we waited almost 40 mins for tacos because I think they forgot our order). reservations needed for dinner or come after 830pm. Will come back again but better service please!”

“Loved it! Tacos were great and literally everything there is gluten free. It's a shame the churros were out of stock and the hot sauces weren't spicy, but delicious food nonetheless. The murals really added to our experience.”

“Tried Jo Bros for the first time from Uber Eats today and we were stoked to discover their delicious veggie burgers (vege single). The burgers were fresh and delicious, their special sauce is great! The burger is huge and was messy in a good way. The fries weren't as fresh but that's the trouble with ordering from Uber and the driver having stop off's along the way. They were still tasty. Looking forward to going and checking out the restaurant in person.”

“We had a group of 23 and went with the Set Menu option. It was perfect! Plenty of food, all delicious, unexpected added little extras for vegetarians and they made me a different type of taco because I didn’t like mushrooms. Was above and beyond service. The drinks were delicious. I’ve been a big fan of Mexico since it first opened but hadn’t made it in for a while and was so pleased to see it still has the high calibre of food, drinks and service I’ve always experienced there. Right from booking until finishing up the meal it was a super smooth process and I felt like they were extremely accommodating.”

“Great little place for a cheap feed. Definitely try the loaded fries and black Doris plum margarita. Friendly staff and fun atmosphere”

“Authentic Filipino food, delicious and staff were accommodating. Review update: came back here once again. Food were delicious and the staff accommodated us even though they close at 7pm on Sundays.”

“First time visiting. It was so nice to meet the previous owner who is Ara-Tai Cafe in Half Moon Bay. The atmosphere is nice and it's not too far from home, so it seems like a great place to brunch. The food is delicious and I'm planning to bring a friend.”

“The place is just a replica of BBQ nation outlet in India. First they serve you all the BBQ dishes (Unlimited) like Chicken, fish, prawn, pineapple and Kumara. They also serve fried fish and potato with sause. You can then go ahead and enjoy the buffet food which has Indian and continental dish (just one). Overall the experience was very amazing and great service. The food was delicious and restaurant beautiful ambient set up gives a very relaxed atmosphere while enjoy the soft music in background. But expensive but worth a try. Good for family and big groups. Try for Groupon voucher to get a good deal and save some bucks.”

“This place has position, a great bar and restaurant with a locals / marina vibe. Clean and new, the menu has something for everyone. The mussels were incredible. Service is quick and attentive. Being a DB tied place, the usual selection of beer from there is on. Good wine list. If I was a local, this would be my local. It’s even got a sports screen pod which I guess is a good distraction for those that don’t want to converse. I love the bar stools at the bar too - an opportunity for this place to create a real locals vibe. Great stuff! Go here..”

“I've been there a few times a couple years ago until The Light Horse closed down. This used to be The Light Horse. Good location from my place. Food is still good. But How sad it is that they don't open on weekend. I hope they open on weekend. Will be back with friends.”

“I had made a special request for a omelette filled with minch which they kindly accommodated and the result was divine. Highly recommend.”

“Grade A!! Food was delish! Service was great and atmosphere was good. 1. Ordered large chicken kebab combo ($14.99 + $6 for fries & drink) 2. Mini kebab combo ($9.50 + $6 for fries & drink) 3. Small Cajun chicken and fries ($9.50 ) 4. 5piece chicken deal (2 thigh & 3 other pieces and fries for $19)”

“Always the kindest service, and yummy fresh food. We love their vermicelli dishes, their soups and wontons.”

“Have eaten in and had delivery for many many years. Still love the place the food and the atmosphere. Easily some of the best OG Dumplings and the Lemon Chicken is always a household fave. Thanks team the whole family had smiles when it arrived last night!”

“The fries here are really good, personally recommend the chunky or classic - I have these all the time. Burgers are delicious too and come with vegan cheese. If you haven’t been back in a while you will notice that the burgers are much bigger now. Which is a bonus!”

“I love their fried chicken, Prices are comparatively reasonable. Staff are friendly and polite. And the special thanks to MS.Tasnim she made my family's day memorable.”

“The best pizza in Auckland. Quality is always the same as I am their customer for many years. Lots of flavor , fresh , moderate spice, friendly people. Highly recommended.”

“Great bang for your buck! Such a great burger for the price & size. BEST Kumera fries and decent size “small chips” feeds both me & my partner. Love how it’s family run. They add sauces too!”

“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.”

“Exceptionally fast service and sensational food. Great atmosphere with fantastic music. Highly recommend pairing the $25 lunch special with one of their delicious Frida’s Margaritas. Use the Love Mexico app to redeem free totopos with your meal.”
