Mexican restaurant in New Zealand

“Hidden gem in the heart of city, might take a while to find the entrance at the first time but totally worth taking the adventure! No menu offered but warm gestures by the bartender with his wide knowledge and play magic to the create the tasty cocktail based on your preference. Love everything here, such a great spot to enjoy a peaceful quiet time at the balcony overlooking the busy street”

Barefoot Eatery leans into a burger‑led approach with tidy execution. Takeaway travels well and holds its crunch. Portions are generous yet well judged. Eggs land on point and toast keeps its crunch....

“It was a fantastic experience, food was amazing. Had lamb with two types of couscous and Arab rice. My partner had also lamb with other sides, I must say the Greek salad was on top there as well. Updated the menu too, the one from 4years ago might not be relevant anymore...”

“Tío Pablo is a gift to Aotearoa. At risk of sounding overly dramatic: The fact that we have access to prompt doorstep delivery of all the main dried chiles and masa harina—in generous bulk quantities too—truly improves the quality of life here on the island for those of us Mexican-food lovers. Have been ordering from them for about 5 years now, and they've always had exceptional speed/service. The only thing I'm still missing here in NZ is access to fresh tomatillos, but can't fault Tío Pablo for not diversifying into fresh produce ;) Thank you for existing and for the great work you do, team!”

“Mushroom quesadilla on a Sunday afternoon - glorious. We ordered then waited on the balcony of Goldings bar with a drink. Whilst it took a bit longer than expected it was well worth the wait! Highly recommend if you're after a Mexi-fix.”

“Had coffee and yummy gooey brownie at bench stools, while waiting for vehicle repair nearby. Returned to get lunch takeaway. Home made Bulgogi pies. Best pies we've EVER tasted. Will certainly be back for more. Lovely friendly service too. Have marked atmosphere highly as clean and local newspsper provided, but of course very basic as this is essentially a takeaway.”

On the plate at Tacos Tocayo, the idea is grill‑focused and well judged. Grill work shows a clean sear and rested meats. A family‑friendly feel comes through naturally. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.

“Yum. Enjoyed a delightfully delicious fusion wonton soup. New to the menu and well worth it. Light, tasty and perfect for a rainy day or any day for that matter! Must admit we might have gotten some grandma special treatment but Craig always puts so much love into his food even when grandma's not ordering x”

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! A few years ago I was pregnant,tired and incredibly hungry and all the restaurants were actually closing their doors, including vino. My poor husband ran up just as you were closing the doors and asked if you had anything spare he could buy for me quickly. Without hesitation you actually turned your ovens back on,chatted to my husband about life,and made me a double portion of pasta FREE of charge and said it was a gift for us and our first baby. I genuinely cried at how generous you were to a total stranger. Don’t know if you remember this at all,but it’s always stuck with us! Highly recommend to anyone and everyone.”

“LOVE this place!! Food is always so freshly made and great flavours. Definitely takes me back to Thailand! If you’re a fan of fresh seafood, then you need to try the raw prawn salad. Love their curry puffs and money bags, super crunchy and comes with a really good sauce. Their sizzling plate is also amazing with some coconut rice. Service here is always so friendly, totally recommend!”

“We had brunch on Waitangi Day (Thursday) and absolutely loved it. For the first time, I had a smoothie that was actually better than the ones I make at home—so thank you for that! We went back on Saturday, but this time, the smoothie had noticeably more spinach, which caused it to oxidize quicker. I don’t have a picture, so you’ll have to take my word for it—it was much darker in color and less sweet. That said, the breakfast quality was just as great as the first time.”

“The Collins is a local fave on the Shore!! Their food is always delicious, coffee is brewed to perfection, and the customer service is always friendly and fast. I definitely recommend coming here for coffee and/or brunch, plenty of seating options both indoor and outdoor too.”
