Review Roxies Red-hot Cantina & Taco Joint - Mount Maunganui

Me and two girlfriends went for a little post-study getaway a couple of weeks ago and were absolutely amazed at the service. As soon as we arrived the staff were welcoming and friendly. We asked if we could move to an outside table and they said we would be put on the list. Only a few minutes later a staff member led us outside to a table and the service only got better from there on. The food was great but all of the staff made it an even better experience- all do friendly and positive. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone staying in the Mount! 10/10.

The bar staff at Roxies are truly exceptional. They're not only highly skilled at what they do but also incredibly friendly and attentive. Whether you're ordering a classic cocktail or trying one of their signature creations, the bartenders are passionate about their craft and take pride in serving up drinks that are both delicious and beautifully presented. Their knowledge of the menu and their ability to make personalized recommendations based on individual preferences is truly commendable.

Great cantina in the heart of beach town / mount maunagui area of taranga. We hiked the mountain and came here for lunch after. Would definitely come back. Fried fish tacos were my favorite, and the fried chicken was excellent as well. Birria tacos were so flavorful with just a little bit of heat. Drinks all delicious. They pride themselves on their frozen margs but that isn’t really my thing. That being said the mango frozen marg was great. A little sweet but that’s how it’s supposed to be. Patio area great for large groups. Seat yourself and get to drinking!

Went for dinner here tonight with a friend. Slushes were amazing as always and the wings deal is a few favourite. Our server Amy was so sweet and great at answering our questions. will be back again this summer!

Ok, lemme just get this out the way... We had the Monster nachos, which the menu states are great party food with Margaritas. Now, I assumed it was something to nibble on whilst drinking, but then realized it's "party food" because it feeds a party of 4. Haha. The flavors on it were something out of this world. Totally nailed it! The birria tacos were quite delicious too! The atmosphere was great and the staff are very friendly.

Loved our dinner last night, and the frozen margs were delicious! Super impressed at the staff as well, place was packed but food and drinks came out quickly, and our glasses didn't stay empty for long. Would highly recommend!

Great vibe. The bald dude serving was attentive and friendly, doing a great job. The Chilli con queso I had was excellent. Will come back for Taco Tuesday soon!

Definitely coming back, loved the food and margaritas. The buffalo wings are so good

Had such a good meal here. All my favourite things in a bowl. Lots of detail in the décor which adds a lot to the experience. Very friendly staff and overall a great experience!

This place definitely has some grunge party vibes but it’s good! We got the pork belly taco and it was absolutely horrible. They were tiny (which we were warned of by a friend). We couldn’t even see any pork belly and there was HARD crunchy bits of something mysterious inside that nearly broke our teeth off. We were worried about what our Monster nachos were going to taste like but they actually were actually delicious. I would go back just for those, but won’t be trying anything else.

Roxies does an excellent job at Mexican food (more like Tex-Mex to be fair): +Finally a place that does Birria Tacos correctly, crispy taco, cheese, pulled beef and a thin dipping consume' +Corona buckets (say no more) + Beef brisket loaded fries +Spicy chicken tenderloins +Great atmosphere and staff who accommodated us jumping outside when a table became free +Added bonus for those in the know they have most of the sauces featured on the YouTube channel "Hot Ones" so you can test your spice levels!!! -Only (minor) downside, the wings could be better: they serve as a whole wing, and the skin isn't crispy. Simple fix here though if Roxies cut them into Drumette and Flatto and get that skin nice and crispy, THEN bathe the wings in their rather good sauce.

Absolutely love this place, every time I come to mount I come here specifically for their Quesadilla Pizza and their Birria Tacos! Service is always super fast too.

Came here with the whanau and had a great time! Amy was a great server and always came to ensure all our needs were met! Definitely coming back.

Was there for work event. We were upstairs. Seems like a great place. If lived locally would go again. Upstairs downstairs very different but suites a purpose.

Cozy and many tables! Happy hour with $10 taps from 4pm-5pm. Perfect!
