Mexican restaurant in New Zealand

“A relaxed and friendly atmosphere, good coffee, great gf options - not only brownies. And all at a fantastic price. You have become my new lunch spot.”

“If you haven't been to this cafe, then you're missing something very good in Beachhaven. I think it has new ownership and they deserve to survive. The coffee is great. It's Altura my husband's favourite. Lots of people were coming and going, which is good to see. The food could have been at any five-star establishment.”

“-Very yummy food -Big portions -Reasonable prices -Prepared in 10 min -Easy parking (right by the store) -Nice and respectful staff -Lovely music (I was sitting there while my food got ready) I’ll definitely go back there! The photo is: Vegetable Korma with rice and naan bread Thank you :-)”

“Amazing Thai food, fun modern atmosphere. We loved the pad Thai - great consistency and flavor. Not too dry or too saucy. Garlic fried w/ ginger rice was delicious, had great chili sauce to go with it. We really really loved the mango and sticky rice and roti w/ pandan”

“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.”

“Great place. First time visiting. Loved the nachos (yes, they're Gluten Free), with beef. We're really delicious and the small size was perfect. I'll definitely go back.”

“So I was invited to do a collab on a collab between Gen Z influencers @wezgudinc (on IG and YT go follow and subscribe) and Flaming Onion Browns Bay. They are reviewing the best cheeseburger in town. The branch in Birkenhead is phenomenal cos I have had food from there during lockdown and it’s still memorable! So we rock up to the Browns Bay branch and let me tell you they do not disappoint! Sham was on duty that day and he made a platter of delectable food! The cheeseburger was spot on! And the loaded fries were enthused by the pulled pork on top. The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and mushy on the inside! Totally worth the visit and cost. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Booked via First Table, so received 50% off meals, which made the value extremely good!”

“A little piece of Belgium right in the heart of Mt Eden village. Food is good and there are some days with specials at a very nice price (need to purchase a drink to get the deal though). Service is good and sometimes speak French! Yay! Can be very busy at times!”

“Thanks to SU. She made fabulous Mexican fiesta bowl. Cheers”

“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”

“Hosted my 21st here at Ghost Donkey and it was honestly the best experience ever! The staff went above and beyond to make the night special, their service was friendly, attentive, and made everything run smoothly. The food was incredible (especially the tacos!) and the drinks were amazing. The atmosphere was fun, vibrant, and perfect for a celebration. A massive thank you to Bobby and the Ghost Donkey team for making it an unforgettable night. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a spot with great vibes, great food, and truly exceptional service!”

“Dropped by on a Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised by their steak special with eat value and cooked just right. The mussels were fresh and nice, definitely a highlight. It is a lively spot, but I managed to get a table straight away with no wait, which was a bonus. Staff were friendly and attentive.”

“Great find in Manukau. Great food. Excellent coffee. Friendly service. Really appreciated not being faced with the same old, same old that so many cafes offer these days where you can tell, being a retired cafe owner, where the product has come from. Great selection of fresh and well presented cabinet food and nice brunch and lunch menu selection as well so you pick quick offerings on the go or to linger over a beautifully made coffee ☕️”

“Had experience like fine dinning restaurant. Foods look so nice and taste delicious. Good service Highly recommend Will be back for sure”

“Got hosted by Mark tonight. Wonderful chap, checked on top ups for drinks and food. made sure we were comfortable. Our original server didn't seem like she could be bothered after the order to meal check, but mark ensured we had a good time”

“Came here for dinner on Saturday and the food was delicious! We ordered pretty much the entire tapas menu and nothing was disappointing. The staff were also really friendly :) Great experience and will definitely be back.”

“I have had lunch here on a weekday, and dinner on a Friday night but early. Both times I enjoyed the plant-based food and the atmosphere of the place. For dinner I had the fajita tofu bowl (pictured) - I cannot rant enough about how good and perfectly cooked their tofu is. Verrae nice: crunchy crust and not soggy. Both times I enjoyed having quite a few options to choose my meal from, and how fresh the ingredients are. It’s also handy that this restaurant is right on the beach, and handy for parking and the bus stops. Staff have been very responsive and helpful both times, so 5 stars it is! Will be back to try the other menu options.”

“I love this place so much! It's the kind of place where you absolutely know you are always going to get great service and amazing food. We went to try the Burger Wellington offerings, and unlike most other places, it was amazing for my non vegan partner and my vegan self to feel like we were both having the same experience, as there are matching burgers. I would absolutely recommend this place for a great meal out and even more so if you have a fur baby, as they have a whole extra menu, just for them!”

“Best curly fries around. Easy to have a conversation and be heard, the coffee is constantly good and recently become almost too pretty to drink.”

“Today me and my friend went into Upper Hutt pita pit and had a lovely experience because of this beautiful young blonde who provided us with phenomenal service. She even helped me decided what meal to purchase. Food was delicious would definitely go again”

“Olé is amazing! If you are looking for something more interesting than Asian or Italian- this is your place. The tapas portions are generous and delicious. We had the pomegranate and home made lemonade drinks and they are divine. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience, the food is prompt and tasty and the service is excellent. We left full and impressed. We’ve been to Spain and the food at olé is authentic and awesome.”

“Had a takeaway from here tonight and honestly cannot fault it. 10/10 gluten free pizza. I have celiac disease and so I rung before ordering, he reassured me that gloves would be worn, and precautions taken. Would highly recommend (I don’t usually leave reviews but it was too good not to)”

“I have been to Muy Muy multiple times now and every time they do it so well. The food, banging so delicious, absolutely mouth watering making you want more, not because you’re hungry but because it was so incredible. The atmosphere was amazing I went to the Swiftie Club night and it was the best time, dancing singing, they knew how to through a dance night that’s for sure! And the service! Every time I come here the staff are so kind and lovely to everyone. Such a great experience and I would definitely recommend coming to this restaurant over and over again. PS order the off the menu burrito bowl special it’s actually insane”
