The…read moreservice was friendly and great, and I loved the Dias de la Mortes kinda theme they've got with the decorations. This place was hopping on a Friday evening. No bar seating, but they have both indoor and outdoor seating, a surprising amount for a smaller venue. I've had tons of Mexican food since I live in the US on the west coast. This isn't bad at all for being half a world away. :)

So I was walking by and the sign caught my eye. Not fancy. But that's why it caught my eye. You…read moreknow the true Mexican restaurant type of sign. You know where it's not so great of a neighborhood. The places where great Mexican food is found. So this area is not sketchy. I haven't really found any place in New Zealand that is. So when I saw the sign. I had to stop and see. And I was right. They have Spanish music going on. The place is really decorated inside like I would expect a non fancy true Mexican place. Very clean and very welcoming. And the tacos I ate are like the ones I would find in that rough area of LA or San Diego maybe TJ. Just perfect. They carry a couple Mexican beers. The favorites. Modelo Negra , Pacifico and of course Corona. This place is supposed to be good at night. Starting Tuesday- Sunday. I'll find out tonight. Lol.

I came here on a Saturday with a friend for her birthday. We are both from California and really…read moremiss good Mexican food, and we'd heard that this place was pretty good. Walking in to this restaurant reminded me of walking in to a Chevy's - it's a similar atmosphere. They have a menu that is filled with half drinks and half food. I ordered a classic margarita and a veggie burrito without cheese and without sour cream (I'm vegan). They were really accommodating on my order and it all came out correctly. My friend ordered the veggie fajitas and hers looked so good. My boyfriend, who was with us, ordered a chicken quesadilla, and he liked it. We had asked for chips and salsa when we ordered, but the waiter forgot to bring them out until after our food. The food came out super quick, so it wasn't a problem. When I ate one of the chips, I realized we were not in California any more. They tasted like packaged chips and the salsa tasted like Pace salsa. Not quite what I'm used to, but after some travel abroad I've come to realize that we are spoiled for Mexican food in California. The drinks were mediocre. I could barely taste alcohol in mine, which was surprising as I rarely drink hard alcohol so I thought I would be able to taste it right away. Maybe I'm just used to strong drinks ;) I wasn't particularly impressed with anything about this place but I was very happy to be in a Mexican restaurant that offered burritos and real Mexican food. The food came out as we ordered it and the burrito was good. I ate the whole thing! All in all, it wasn't a particularly memorable experience, but the food was good and came out quick.

Located at the beautiful Mission Bay this place is great! It's always busy especially when the…read moreMariachi (Mexican band) are playing live music. They have a huge range of very delicious drinks, and if you go there a tip for the girls order the El Torero margarita :P (picture below) Their $16 nachos are huge but not so much the best I've had, they add too much jalapenos in my opinion but everyone has their own different taste buds. If you like spicy then it's definitely for you! ;) As for my favourite dish it's the Eye Fillet with sweet (Kumra) potatoe and salsa from the Grill Menu. The atmosphere is amazing! They have amazing lizards in a tank which is a must see, especially when they wear lil sombrero hats! And if you have children they will let them hold the lizards, very cute! Hahaha! Speaking of sombreros they have a variety of beautifully designed sombreros which they let you to wear, just don't be afraid to ask the staff if they could give them to you. They're very fun and awesome for photos! Makes the atmosphere even better :D Only critique that I do have is that due to how overly busy they are, and always trying to fit everyone in, it feels like a rush to eat and leave. Especially during night times. The last time me and my boyfriend went there, we didn't even finish our meals and they took our plates away in such a rush that it was quite surprising. It all happened so quickly neither of us had the time to act. It was disapointing because the meal was so delicious we didn't have time to enjoy it or finish it :( But definitely try it out, and before you go make sure you make a booking otherwise it will get chaotic!

Although "Mexico" is an airport restaurant, the food and drinks were remarkably good. I purchased lamb tacos and margaritas. The margaritas were $7 each or two for $10. I went for two. The tacos were good. The place suffers a bit from the issue that many inauthentic Mexican restaurants do which is a lack of good salsas. However, the food was satisfying and worth the price.

You place your order and they move you along a salad, beans and condiments area and let you choose what you want on your meal. It's so fresh tasting and full of flavour. My kids also love the 80s skateboarding decor. It's a fun relaxed vibe and you can order a beer to go with your meal. Go there, you won't regret it. My husband who isn't a big Mexican fan, and only went there to humor me, now likes the chicken nachos.

But it seems there are new owners who want you to enjoy the awesomeness Mexican food has to offer . This is no Tex-Mex joint where they make it in front of you a lá Mexicali fresh , this is the real deal ! Esse . I went for a prawn taco ( $15 spicy but nice ) and a chicken tostada . The prawn taco had capers and tiny small olives in it which was very surprising and the owner brought over some chilli lime dressing to try . This chilli lime dressing should be a pantry staple , it just gave everything a extra zing ! The tostada ( $10 )is a cold flat salad / crunchy almost taco like item it was good , but not as good as the prawn taco . There was a constant flow of people grabbing sauces and pickles that they sell and I loved the Mariachi music in the background . There's a blackboard menu on the wall and the photos that go with it are deceiving, so decide how hungry you are before you order . Arriba !! Taco ! Taco ! Vatos Locos Homes !
