Love coming here to satisfy my Mexican craving!! They never disappoint and the food is always so delicious!! Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is homely and fun!
Came in here late for dinner after a busy Friday. Such a delight. My chimichanga was hot, fresh and tasty. I'd say this is probably as Mexican you'd get. Comfortable outdoor seating area with good heating. Drinks are available too.
Exceptional service by the lovely waitress from Colombia, combine that with great salsa and complimentary chips. Dinner was good 👌
Grabbed the $10 lunch deal with my friends and ordered the devils nachos. The food was really yummy and I wished the portions were bigger, but I thought the portion size was appropriate for the $10 lunch deal. My only complaint was that the jalapenos added to the nachos weren't spicy enough.
Awesome place to get your margherita fix especially during happy hour. However, they need to specify which drinks are excluded for the special. I was only told when paying the frozen margherita wasn't included in the special. But its a margherita 😭. The other complaint is it can be quite slow and difficult to get a waiters attention when they are busy. However, if you manage to get some outdoor seating, drink in hand, you are guaranteed a good night. Think management just needs to be consistent. Would still come back for sure!
If you happen to be in Auckland CBD and craving for Mexican cuisine, Mexican cafe is the place to be in. It’s situated at the busy streets in main city area. The bar is trendy and the food is delicious. The sitting area embarks the sky towers view as well.
Come here especially at happy hours and enjoy tons of happy memories!
Cheers!
Fantastic place in Victoria street for after work drinks. The cheese dip selection is phenomenal
It never fails, great Mexican restaurant with amazing food! Love a good Taco Salad not to miss!
If you work in town, you have heard of this place. It is an institution. Came here for lunch and for $10, its pretty hard to go wrong. Service was friendly and quick and the food hit the spot. Beer and a lunch for under $20 is a rarity in town.
Of all the establishments I featured here at Ang Sarap there is only one place as of this date that I had visited more than three times and it is this Mexican restaurant called Mexican Cafe right in the middle of Auckland CBD. Visiting more than three times means one thing, they offer good food at a really affordable price.
Delicious Spinach and cheese enchilladas and Matcha Cocktails, will happily return here next time i'm in Auckland!
We had a good experience at the Mexican Cafe in Auckland CBD! We arrived without a reservation on a bustling Saturday evening and were seated promptly with fast service. While the vegetarian options are somewhat limited, primarily offering beans or plain veggies as substitutes, the burrito and fajita we enjoyed were delicious and generously sized. Good food and great service! 🌮👍
Great lunch here today. Food was really flavourful, kids meals were great. Very vibrant and bright atmosphere.
Mexican Cafe is my go to when I visit Auckland. I've been a dozen times over the last 3 years and it's always good. I took my brothers and my dad for a meal Friday on their 40th birthday and it was awesome. The staff are great, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is second to none. You can guarantee I'll be there again this week when I come up for work and take my team out for dinner.
Delicious food, especially the cheese dip. Large amount of vegetarian dishes.
The drinks were also good, not many beer options but a few different cocktails and lots of tequila, and the frozen margaritas were tasty. Definitely recommend going for happy hour as they have some good deals.
Atmosphere was great and staff were friendly and attentive.
We found this place on the first night we landed in Auckland from Australia. Place looked amazing, fully decorated just like in Mexico, with a full bar and amazing looking baloney dining area. We didn’t get to sit in the balcony as it was full and we were also advised that the kitchen is very busy and will take a while for our food. When the food did come out it was great. Recommend this place if you looking for a great atmosphere and authentic Mexican food.
Came for the happy hour specials and was very pleased. I got the margarita and taco and my partner got the beer and nachos. Margarita was very refreshing, taco was very filled and the nachos were a good portion. Definitely reccomened to stop by and enjoy!
Food was delicious, we ordered a chicken Chimichunga with spicy cheese sauce to share between two women; with a nice kick of heat at the end of each mouthful.
The Mango Margarita Jug was perfect for us to enjoy a couple of glasses each from it. It was a busy Friday night and we hadn't booked but didn't have to wait longer than 10 minutes for our table.
Drinks & food are reasonably priced, $29 each which included everything.
Vibrant atmosphere & a great team, from the chefs to the wait staff and bar staff. They know what they're doing, efficient, friendly and bring the experience level up to a "loved it!"
My first time & definitely have a great first impression. I'll be sure to come again.
(The food & drinks looked delish-worthy too but didn't get a photo till afterwards....hence the empty Jug & glasses, and an almost clean plate.)
We stumbled upon this great restaurant and were extremely impressed with every aspect. The atmosphere, the service, were tops and the food was delectable.Complimentary corn chips and salsa on arrival were a nice touch. We shared the beef fajitas and the serving size was generous and the flavours were tops. Wish we were here longer to sample more of the gems on the menu. The Tuatara hazy ale was a great accompaniment. Thanks to all.
Great little Mexican restraunt slightly hidden away. The food was delicious and came very fast!! Highly recommend! Great sangria, the service could be better- a little slow
Love this cafe. So used to Taco Bill set menu it was nice to see chimichanga and different other choices. We got a table on the balcony no worries for dinner. Staff were wonderful and so kind. Saw families eating here but for us two it was great also. I eat here everytime I come to Auckland. My fave for good reason. Across the road from Sky City. Great CBD location. Chicken nachos to share were filling and my man appreciated the freshly made guacamole. Plenty of cheese!
My enchiladas with spicy beef were full of flavour and my man's chimichanga was massive and delicious he said. No room for dessert but we left there happy and satisfied.
