Weekend vibes @mexiconz Ponsonby š²š½ š®
.
Loved the ambience with caged lightings, ethnic murals and liquor bottle walls. Hereās some highlights from our dinner:
.
Lamb Quesadilla š„ $19
This is great value, came with 8 pieces of quesadilla. The griddled tortilla is filled with slowed cooked lamb and cheese, mmmm.
Stuffed JalapenĢos š¶ $18
JalapenĢo peppers wrapped in bacon, itās juicy and bursting flavors with a punch of heat afterwards, loved it!
Fried chicken š $16
This is their signature dishšš¼

Havenāt had Mexican food for so long since I moved back from LA, happy to have found @mexiconz! Gracias!

Went in for the limited edition spicy taco - ended up ordering a lot of other food! We order the spicy taco, lamb taco, cauliflower, mushroom and fried chicken! they were all so good! if you like spicy food, you gotta try the spicy taco; itās really refreshing with perfect heat! the fried chicken, cauliflower and mushroom came with creamy mayo and super crunchy! will be coming back š
Mexico is one of those spots where you always go in with high hopes but then always leave a bit disappointed. Food is always delish but service needs work, the staff are obviously bribed with fried chicken to turn over the tables 15 times in one night because youāre rushed to finish every time without fault. But I always come crawling back because of those bloody magrz and fried chook
I came here with my fam and loved it! Although itās super loud and a pretty buzzy atmosphere, itās really enjoyable if you donāt mind yelling across the table to chat š
I had the jackfruit taco, tempura eggplant special taco, the chickpea patatas and then the vegan chocolate dessert. I tell ya, what a feast. The portion sizes looked small but were actually great! Really awesome flavours and surprisingly filling! I would 100% come back, maybe with a group of friends so we can try some more cocktails šø
Service was really friendly, and super fast. Canāt fault it.
Mexico is one of my fav restaurants ever!! Ponsonby one is my 2nd fav after the Taka one. Love the food - faves are the guacamole & chicken quesadilla. Love the Mexican sodas aswell my fav are the - white cola & raspberry and cucumber. Food is amazing and staff is lovely. Best Mexican in Akl :)) Definitely recommend!!!
Good food, had lots of vegetarian options. We ordered almost everything vegetarian on their menu and nothing disappointed. It was bit crowded with loud music but good food made for it.
Live for Mexico. Prefer the Takapuna location as I think the staff are a bit friendlier there! They got a bit strange about us using our work discount there, but did end up putting it through :) fried chicken of course canāt be missed. Great sangria too!
Love this Mexico! This is our new favourite. Usually we go to Ellerslie. We recently came here on a Friday night, it was very busy but was a great atmosphere and great vibe. We sat up in the stools and leaner and it was quite a cosy spot. Absolutely loved all of the food; we had Patatas, Mexico fried chicken, soft shell tacos (the beef, fish and prawn), Esquites and an amazing baked white chocolate cheesecake! They were ALL amazing! The White Cola is delicious too. From the fantastic service to the food and awesome vibe (plus the perks of the I love Mexico card) it was all next level and will be our new regular!
Late afternoon shopping in Ponsonby, start getting hungry and want a snack before finishing up. Enter Mexico...
Having visited their Takapuna store many times there is a comfort in knowing what you are about to order and eat.
We are welcomed into the restaurant and seated by our friendly waitress. We place our order ( didnāt really need to look at the menu) afternoon snack of Mexico Fried Chicken, one of their specialityās. Food arrives shortly there after and itās exactly what the doctor ordered. Great as always!!!
If you havenāt eaten here before there are plenty of other goodies to try on the menu: worth a mention is their soft shell tacos, they always go down a treat!

The staff are friendly and helpful. Had someone who was dairy intolerant and was willing to cater for their needs regardless. The margarita all always good. Drinks are always good here. Food is always close to Mexican Street food. Food and one cocktail each for two people was $75.
I really enjoyed having dinner with my bestie there :)
Atmosphere, music, food, decorationā¦everything was good, BUT what made me giving five stars is two of the staff: Aimee and Bronnie xx They are the BEST
Super nice, friendly, helpful, and with a great positive energyā¤ļøā¤ļø
Thanks a lot!
Food was average.. didnāt really taste like Mexican food. Atmosphere was great! Fun, dark, not too loud. They getting 4 star because of Gabriella! She was amazing, kind and very professional. My partner gave her a tip and made sure she kept to herself! Definitely keen her on š
Had a wonderful meal here with my sister. Decided last minute to eat in Ponsonby and was attracted by the vibes and decor of the place. We were ushered in by the most friendly staff, Oliver, who then took our orders with wit and attentiveness. Drinks and food arrived quite quickly, and were all beautifully made with fresh ingredients. We ordered the guacamole and chips, pork belly and a selection of tacos. Really canāt think of anything to complain about except if they could sell the guac in large containers to take home. The cocktails were also fresh and well balanced - with even sugar free varieties offered. I look forward to returning to this gem of a place soon with great anticipation to try out the other items on the menu.
Went out for dinner amd drinks with my friends and was helped by the two loveliest girls, Ella and Gabriella. They were very busy but still ensured we enjoyed our evening, very grateful to these two and would highly recommend! 10/10 experience
A delicious restaurant - some of the nicest Mexican food Iāve had for a while. Unlike some, the portion sizes were not massive, nor were the dishes drowning in cheese. The drinks were good too - my Bohemian beer was an excellent Mexican Pilsner (who knew?) while the lemon lime soda tasted much nicer than a usual soft drink.
if i could rate the service higher, iād rate it 20. loveliest staff iāve ever met and food is of course (as always) phenomenal!!!
Awesome little restaurant.
Staff are very friendly and had good banter. Food was lovely and good size portions. I left there very full. Highly recommended AAA +++
Really enjoyed our visit. Service was friendly and attentive, food came out quickly and was delicious!! Highly recommend.
Food is amazing here. Mexico chicken, croquettes, fish tacos, pork carnitas tacos were the standout. The sangria is very refreshing as well. Service is a little slow (we waited almost 40 mins for tacos because I think they forgot our order). reservations needed for dinner or come after 830pm. Will come back again but better service please!

Good was excellent. Service and atmosphere were good. Only thing that could have been better was the mezcal flight. It seemed to highlight their mixers instead of the mezcal.
