Came by here for some Saturday evening tapas and can swear this place is the bomb. For three people, the $75 deal on tapas is very good value and gives a great showcase of Spanish cuisine. The paella was so delicious that we ended up finishing it before I could take a photos Come here and you will be blown away.

Appart from the slightly lacking atmosphere and waiters being split between two dining room, we had a wonderful evening at the restaurant. Food was delicious and reasonably priced, and authentically Spanish (which isn't east to find on the other side of the world).
Definitely recommend giving it a go if you want some good Spanish food, and/or share some plates with family, lovers, and friends !

Great tapas hidden down a lane in Auckland but well worth the effort finding it. Super friendly and delicious food.
Can't praise the guys here enough.
We were only after a quick bite but ended up staying for the atmosphere and the rioja!

Authentic Tapas & Pintxos Bar Run by the lovely Kiwi and Spanish Couple Manuel & Fiona. Ideal place to share a lunch or dinner with friends and family. I tried the Spanish Cured Ham, Spanish Anchovies, & roast Lamb Tapa was really good and filling. Excellent selection of Spanish wine is available too. Knowledgeable Fiona can recommend something to your liking.

The Lamb dish definitely a must try. The prawn tapas was pretty good. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. The only let down was the paella.

Me and my husband went there to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. Upon arrival they greeted us with such warm smiles and great chat. They even gave us fresh flower for our anniversary which was so sweet of them.The staff was super friendly especially the Spanish girl who hosted us. She was extremely nice and made us felt so welcomed. We ordered the seafood paella and it was AMAZING! Exactly what I was craving for. Me and my husband didn't talk for 5 mins just busy eating and enjoying the great food lol. We had absolutely fantastic experience there definitely recommend this place. We had such wonderful time there thanks Mandriz!

Best Spanish and Mediterranean food in Auckland. Amazing spanish wines and beers. Pintxos are a must with beer. The cured ham is unique! Cheese menu is very high quality too. A Spanish flavor on the kiwi island. Beautiful. Attention is super friendly too. Warm staff. I came back almost one year after my first here and have to say, I love the renewal, more space and even warmer welcome, the quality still great, the food here is so good I had homemade food memories đ

Massive plate of lamb meat; so tender with an amazing jus.
We caught them on a busy day so they apologised beforehand that it might be a little slow but they made reasonable time considering it was only 2 staff. Also apparently you have to preorder the meat as it takes 4 hours to prepare. We were lucky they sometime make extra.
The potatoes are to die for or to cause arguments around who gets to eat the last one.
Would recommend only 1 salady side probably the Mediterranean we had the tuna and it was unfortunately overpowered by the flavour of the lamb.

Delicious food and great service! We'll be back! An excellent place to drop in for lunch, dinner or a snack. Yummy churros!
Leslie Castledine
We ate here for NYE dinner, the food was amazing and paired beautifully with the wines recommended to us. However the most outstanding part about our meal was the hospitality, i felt right at home and transported back to Spain all at once. Would highly recommend, and would definitely travel back to Auckland to eat here!!

Sophia Ignateva
Saw that they have a $15 paella lunch special and simply could not miss it! <br/>Ordered seafood paella, which was very yummy and for extra $3 only added sangria too! It was amazing:) <br/>Totally recommend!!!!
Rose Cron
Had the most amazing take out dinner last night !! So good after all our lockdown food haha. The roast lamb is so tender itâs to die for, we added the Jamon and manchego platter, to start and the meal came with salad and the best bread. My friend had tortilla de patatas and we shared the chicken bites and patatas bravas. Awesome meal.

The Spanish tapas here are delicious. The Sangria was refreshing and the food all came out in a good amount of time. Lovely service too and would suggest asking the waiter to explain the menu in more detail to get a good idea of the items! Absolutely loved the meatballs with fried potatoes as well. Will be back!

Situated downtown Auckland, Madriz is a central location with easy access. They boast an authentic Spanish menu with absolutely delicious flavors and combinations and they're canape style plating and menu options make them great for sharing. 3 mains and 3 beverages totalled $90 so decent value for money :)
Heloisa Moreira Lima
Everything is ao good, loved the cheese starters!! Great place for drinks and food, with nice music! Fiona and Juanma are great hosters, they are always there to help!

Very impressed with the ambience of Madriz and love how its kind of tucked inside a corner of Customs<br/>street. I would also definitely rate a 5 om service. Food however, was nice but nothing special. Ordered the Tuna Belly Pinxtos which was a little on the dry side in my opinion, the Salmon and cream cheese which was again good but not wow and the Garlic and herb prawns which was tasty and good portion of prawns.
Wendy Wang
Tried the lamb, we wait for around 20 minutes. The flavour is fine, but not over our expectations. Roast potato tastes better, I felt the lamb is a little dry.
Guacamole
Loving the food. Staff was so helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back. The lamb dish was incredible, my favorite is jamon. Sooooo goooooood
Lenore Ma
Food is too oily and not authentic Spanish. It seems like the chef has no experience cooking Spanish food. Everything was heavy and oily and the flavor is inauthentic.
Nicole Marie
Really love this place and the staff, always very genuine and knowledgeable, beautiful wine list and food on offer. Would recommend to anyone for a relaxed drink or dinner đ

Iâve recently been basing myself in and around the inner city streets of Auckland.<br/><br/>With new establishments popping up all over the city, you often neednât go to the same place twice, unless it gives you reason to do so.<br/><br/>Doing just that is Madriz situated on Aucklandâs well-renowned Customs Street. <br/><br/>Time-pressed, I made a quick search on Zomato for new establishments in the area and fortunately stumbled upon this Spanish-influenced eatery.<br/><br/>Ideal for lite a bite and a couple glass Spainâs finest, I asked four friends to join me at this new tucked away gem.<br/><br/>Easily walked past, Madriz could be missed as you stroll past Snickle Lane but thatâs exactly what creates its humble charm. <br/><br/>Whatâs more, the front of house staff members were extremely friendly even though it seemed they were in the ârushâ.<br/><br/>When I visited the place was so full I had to stand but even that didnât distract from the enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend.
Juanma Lumber
Roast lamb and authentic Spanish restaurant, good tapas, sangria, the churros must try and if u like paella remember to pre-order:) finally the real Spanish cuisine in Auckland!!! Amazing wines and they do take away đđđŞđ¸đ
JoĂŁo PlĂĄcido
A nice to start the night.<br/>Tapas of Iberico and cheese and some bread with tomatoes and olive oil are one of dishes you'll find there and they are quite good.<br/>The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.
Peter Klaosen
Great little tapas bar tucked away in Fort Lane. the food was great - lamb shoulder, meat balls. Good Spanish wines. Friendly staff. Laneway seating available. Recommended
Austin
We popped in for a quick drink and a bit of tapas. We ordered a manchego cheese and a Serrano platter and a glass of of the medium priced wine for two.<br/><br/>The tapas and wine where authentic and the service was very pleasant and efficient. Our only complaint would have been the limited and cramped seating inside but we sat outside seating as it was a nice afternoon.<br/><br/>Total cost for three $70.<br/><br/>We will be back.
Eric Mendez
Great people, JuanMa and Fiona! the croquetas was very good as well as the Boquerones! Fantastic Iberico all washed down with Estrella! <br/><br/>Itâs really a great place with a good location. Table and chairs outside and a few by the bar. When we go to a tapas bar, we like to mingle and meet new people and fort lane offers this. Itâs not a busy street, hardly any cars so you can stand around and chat with friends or new friends. It would be nice to make this street livelier with lights and the like, itâs really a great location and can help good restos like Madriz. Food is really good.
Madriz
Fabolous New Zealand Roast Lamb! Spanish Slow cook roast lamb, whole shoulder to take away cook the spanish way...rosemary, garlic, wine...jummy!
