Absolutely loved the xocolate mole and chicken quesadillas I ordered and would definitely come back to try the other quesadillas and food! The ruby grapefruit drink I had was also very yummy.
Ordered takeout from them and it was all ready within 15 min! Super impressed. Loved the fried chicken - seasoned super well with a good kick.
Fried chicken is amazing and the staff is very sweet and friendly. Sometimes the service can be little slow but rest is great!
Enjoyed a meal here with friends, first time trying the new summer menu.
If you’re a mushroom fan the crumbed mushrooms are a must have - so juicy and delicious.
The five spiced duck taco was also a flavour sensation. We also tried the new avocado taco which was surprisingly tasty.
Three of us had the crispy pork burger which was nice but the flavours in the sauce overpowered the pork flavour which let it down.
As always the fried chicken and patatas bravas were crowd pleasers as were the margaritas, love the new flavours - cucumber and lychee, as well as, strawberry and guava.

Four of came here for dinner and as usual, Mexico did not disappoint! Some people tell me that Mexico is too mainstream but I cannot say no to a taco from here!
We ordered the five spiced duck leg taco, esquites, Mexico fried chicken, the slow cooked lamb shoulder quesadilla and three taco Tuesday specials (a fried chicken or fried cauliflower taco with a margarita for $14) - everyone in our group got the fried chicken 🍗
The lamb quesadilla was out of this world, we all loved it and my duck taco was amazing - they did not skimp on the duck either! If you want to try I’d recommend heading in ASAP, Mexico changes their menu seasonally and I don’t remember seeing a duck taco on the menu ever before!
Try one of the margaritas or one of the sugar free sofas, I didn’t have one this time but they never disappoint.
My only complaint is that one of the staff members seemed so bored and we could hardly hear her. We also asked for extra tortillas with our esquitas (I ask for this each time and it’s never an issue, I just pay an extra charge), our server said he would ask but never got back to us and we did not get the extra tortilla :(

I have been here a few times 😬 for lunch and dinner! Each time the fried chicken has been a must order, you won't be disappointed.
The lunch menu is really good value for money, I got the degustation option which gives you a little taste of nearly everything for only $20! 😍
Their new menu (summer 2019) is pretty awesome.
The croquetas were yummy and light, a nice kick start to the evening. The patatas de maiz were pretty good but I personally liked the croquetas better.
The lamb taco with pomegranate seeds is so delicious. The avocado taco was surprisingly spicy/hot considering the mild chilli rating on the menu. The chicken taco was pretty yummy too but I would rate the lamb over the chicken anyday. The only disappointing tacos would have to be the fish taco, when I ordered mine the fish seemed to be kind of tough so maybe a tad overcooked and secondly the duck taco it seemed to have minimal flavor apart from the duck itself.
I need to come back and try the pork belly!
Overall definitely recommend and definitely will be back 🥰
The drinks were so good. The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly and very patient with us. Everything was good
Extremely friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Group set Menu was generous and delicious. Best fried chicken!
Cool ambience. Friendly staff. Tasty food. Brilliant cocktail
Love the interior of the place, the vibes was good for a cosy night. Ordered their specialty of Mexico Fried Chicken, Lamb Quesadilla, and their mango passion fruit margarita.
We came by for lunch. It wasn't busy but we did book beforehand just in case. The restaurant seems to be split with the front half being more like a bar whereas the back area is more like a restaurant. The back area also had interesting pictures covering the wall. The paper menus were on the cutlery holder and there was a separate drink and food menu,
We opted to get the set menu as it was easier but did end up grabbing an extra portion of fried chicken and a ceviche. We also grabbed the standard and the black plum margarita carafes. The original margarita was actually really good.
The set came with guacamole and chips, the fried chicken, elotes, quesadilla, a taco and churros. The fried chicken was quite nice as were the elotes, the corn ribs. The tacos were also good and each person got to pick their own flavour. I found the quesadillas to be on the dry side. The churros were nice with the dulce de leche.
It was a tasty and filling meal.
This Mexico location is awesome and I love the fit out which gives it a really cool feel. The menu is great with a variety of options and it’s really reasonably priced. Two of us had a hearty lunch for $46 and it hit all the right notes! Also a shoutout to our lovely server who was so nice and helpful. Thanks guys!

Great place to eat and hang out. Fun vibe for a group gathering. The food is amazing. We had the pork belly tostadas and churros for dessert!
I had an incredible dining experience at this restaurant. The food is simply amazing, especially if you’re a fan of Mexican cuisine. It’s a must-try for anyone who enjoys bold and flavorful dishes. The cocktails were equally impressive, offering a refreshing complement to the delicious food. What truly stood out was the excellent service. The staff was attentive and made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable meal.
Love this place. Friendly staff, great chef's, delicious kai and amazing drink selection.
Love asking staff to surprise me with a drink. Have yet to come across one I haven't liked.
Been numerous times and will carry on returning.
I live closeby for a year, but never walked in. It's my first encounter of Mexician food. I love it! The exotic decoration, interesting ways of cooking but devilishly delicious. My pork belly tace was not the crispy type expected, but the cubes and sides make a little feast. I love the fried chicken, albeit not at my level of hotness. The guacamole and totopus are equally lovely. The ambulance is kid-, family- and group- friendly, Almost full at 1pm Sunday. Waiters are always busy, Plenty of parking diagonally across.
Since it is a cushioned cultural shock, I google why Mexicans like skulls and skeletons, and like the answer: "they are gentle reminders that life is temporary, and death is certain."
My mate and I arrived to lunch hungry which was perfect for Mexico! The highlight was the pork belly taco followed by the lamb quesadilla. I enjoyed everything I ate and will return.
I love this place, hands down favorite Mexican restaurant in Auckland. I have only had one concern, when they get busy they seems to turn off the online order option and it won't even display why can't you order online. Obviously since they are busy its hard to get them on phone to order as well. So you will then have to go to the restaurant, place the order and wait for 20 mins. Would have been better to at least display on the website to say we are not taking online order currently or something.
We attended a margarita master class here with a big team. The class was very entertaining and well organized.
Cocktails and finger food were great woth a nice variety.
It’s a great place for a birthday party.
Food is typical tapas style, fast as expected.
Truth is, food is a bit fancy and very small portions.
Suggestion, even if just quality food ingredients with less garnishing, basic preparations then it would be more authentic and satisfying
