Taco dining in Auckland

“The food was authentic and delicious. Being raised in a border town in Arizona gives me a bit of an edge when seeking out great Mexican food. I was on a business trip and stumbled on this gem. The birria quesadilla and tacos were simply outstanding. The service was fast and friendly. You won’t be disappointed. If you like it hot ask for the salsa picante! Muchas Gracias Mr. Taco!! Ramon”

“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.”

“Tried the free steak taco today outside Onehunga 4square. Loved it. Chipotle hot sauce topoed it off. Ended up buying some products for dinner.”

“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.”

“Had heard so much about this place and was super excited to try, boy did this place deliver! The Ken Tuckyman chicken taco was world class and is a must try, the prawn taco was beautiful too. Really cool how the whole menu is gluten free. Highly recommend this place, give it a try next time you’re nearby. James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales”

“The line of Taco Bell is a place I call home I live in ALBANY on the North Shore and it’s come to the point where every time I drive over the harbour Bridge I just know that it’s Taco Bell time. I’ve never tried anything else other than the double crispy chicken taco combo with a refreshing (not too sweet) (perfectly ratio’d syrup to soda) frozen vanilla Coke. I’m extremely grateful for the effort that the team puts into the food, the environment, consistency and the friendly faces that greet me as I walk through the front door. If you’re looking for a satisfying meal with heart and soul and passion, come on down to the Lunn Ave Taco Bell and find out for yourself what you are missing. I think I’m Taco Bell’s number one fan - my heart is yours. Love the work, keep it up. I’m cheering you on. Please add Baja blast. Forever and always xoxo”

“Great food and they also offer gluten free fried chicken. Was very pleased to find them open after a night out. Will be back again!”

“Unlike Thailand or Australian Taco Bell this one has Chalupas. This means NZ is officially better than Australia. If you have never had a chalupa you are missing out. They are crispy and soft all at the same time. Eating a chalupa is like biting into a super tasty cloud. Amazing.”

“VEGETARIANS: Went at 6pm on a Friday night and waited only about 30 minutes. Spent 40 dollars on so many different items. Favourite was the crunch supreme with beans and the soft/hard taco with beans. The cheese dip is TO DIE FOR when you dip the chips in it. They got my meal correct and didnt put meat in it which is very rate for fast food places these days. Really reccomend the cheesy gordita taco with beans. Such good food and happy staff despite how busy they were.”

“Great spot for Taco Bell classics—tacos, burritos, and quesadillas hit the spot. Could be cleaner and safer, but still worth it when the craving hits.”

“Taco Bell is honestly such a good spot. I love their food, and even when they’re a bit slow, it’s usually just because they’re busy with heaps of orders. People need to be more patient. Overall, they deserve a big shout-out for pushing through the tough times. Awesome job, Taco Bell.”

“Awesome, fresh Mexican food. Super nice employees. They're always speaking Spanish to each other - so you know it's authentic ;). $6.50 budgie meal is best deal on campus hands down.”

“Forget queuing for mediocre maccas or small dry bits of kfc, Taco Bell is awesome, food was tasty and we'll priced, great flavours plus additional sauces available from the counter. Bonus is the usb charging ports for when your phone needs a feed too! Will be back asap”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!!”

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

“The plant based menu was amazing. Loved the salad we had. Beautiful food Dr Micheal Brown 13elephants.nz”

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

“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!

“Absolutely love the food here! I always get the quesadillas and eat it all up every time. The service was also great, the staff were attentive and fast. The interior is nice and clean, just in the day there are a lot of wasps inside especially in the sunny areas near the windows.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“It was our 1st time dining at a mexican eatery and the food was really good and so was the service, the staff were really friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend it for those who would like a 1st time good experience eating mexican food”

“New owners!!!! Definitely a big upgrade. Pretty impressive and generously loaded quantity of meat and sauces over the nachos. Visiting again and recommended for sure.”

“Excellent experience! The customer service was fantastic — the staff were friendly and attentive throughout. I had the jalapeño chicken quesadilla, and it was made perfectly — flavourful, well-balanced, and delicious. Highly recommend this place for both great food and great service!”

“What a great experience, really good quality, fresh, tasty food. I couldn’t fault anything, recommendations from the waitress were perfect. I would never have normally ordered Nacho’s,l but she recommended, they were so good and different to the normal ‘kiwi’ version. Everything (we got a lot of different food) was easily able to be shared by 4 or could have ordered our own if wanted to. Overall was $60 each, for lots of meals (with food left over) and 2 or 3 drinks each. It was easily good value for money. Atmosphere is good also, we had a booked table waiting but otherwise was packed. I’d recommend booking as was consistently popular throughout the time we were there.”

“Absolutely blown away by the service at Frida. Isabella was so friendly and accommodating. She provided us with blankets and even came back to confirm that the chefs knew about our dietary requirements - made such a difference for my gluten free friend. We were just thrilled, and then the food was amazing! Will absolutely be back. Thanks Isabella and Frida team!”

“Highly recommended! Thank you team for your gracious hospitality, efficient service and delicious food! I cannot stop thinking about Mama's Fish Tacos! Definitely a must have!”
