Review Mexico - Takapuna

Great restaurant - you have to try the Spicy Fried Chicken. Walked in on Anzac day evening with no reservation and were seated immediately! Staff were friendly and took our order quickly. The table was clean. Food was good. Ordered fried chicken and 2 chicken tacos. Higher priced for small portions but still delicious. We were kicked out around 8.15 pm - maybe it closed early because of Anzac day? Additional notes... no parking on site, park along the road in Takapuna or in the lot behind Katsubi. Pay at the counter after eating. No coke products available.

Loved the food and service. . We were attended to right away and timing of getting the menu , taking order and getting the food and drinks were all perfect. . Had the perfect Sunday lunch and left the place happy and full !!.

Home to the best fried chicken in Auckland , an easy spot to catch up with mates where you know the food will always be good. Highly recommend trying the cauliflower also. James Ashwin

An authentic Mexican restaurant which has preserved the Mexican culture and the food. 4 stars as it is bit expensive but the food is worth it. Their signature dish is Mexican fired chicken for 16 dollars. A must try dish. The place is kids friendly as well as they give color pens to draw and do bit of painting to pass the time. Good place for group upto 15 people

Margarita class is awesome. 101 on margarita. Perfect start to summer! Finger food compliments the margaritas too. Fabulous and friendly staff. What more could you ask ;)

I went here on the 3rd of Jan - the place has a groovy vibe, the customer service was very good and the food was tropical in flavour! We ordered the fried chicken (it’s definitely a must - if you eat it with the sauces it comes with. The sauces are soooo good. I do however recommend that maybe adding extra sauce beckons for the sauce, we didn’t realise that sauce came underneath all the chicken and once we tasted the chicken with the sauce - it was fireeee!) We ordered the Mexican cole slaw (my partner loved! We ordered the pulled pork quesadillas with the dipping sauce! They were really nice! (Looked a bit dry, but they were good!) We also ordered the lamb and chicken tacos and they were good! The flavour in all the different types of food was very refreshing! And I could almost always taste a lime tinge on every piece of meal - which I liked! My last and fav thing we ordered was the Xocolate brownie - OMG this! Honestly. This was probably the best dessert I’ve ever had from a restaurant. The raspberry ice, the coconut cream, the ice cream and the brownie! Wow. I can’t recommend this enough! My partner and I had a great time at Mexico Takapuna! (My partner says it’s his favourite restaurant yet!)

Ordered a Raspberry & Rhubarb drink and a beef birria. The food was super tasty as the drink was really nice but it was a shame that the tacos were just slightly smaller than I expected for the price ($14). However, the customer service was excellent and I really enjoyed the environment with my friends. 4/5

Great tasting and fresh meals with good serving sizes. Friendly team and nice restaurant environment. Definitely recommend the chicken meal.

Just here for margaritas, salsa and corn chips...had non frozen, frozen and a jalapeno version...all well made and moorish!...salsa and chips was spicy and delicious.

Great customer service. Beautiful presentation of delicious food. Very close to peaceful Takapuna beach.

Sizable dining venue at the heart of Takapuna - The Strand. Menu options are great, amazing Mexican food, lovely lovely staffs, well decorated interior - amazing place to catch up with friends and just chill.

Great service, delicious food and food was served quickly. Really enjoyed the food especially the fried chicken! YUM!

I honestly cannot recommend Mexico enough - not only is the food always incredible, but the staff are helpful, friendly and go above and beyond to ensure your meal is great! I had my hens party at Mexico Takapuna in early January and I was lucky enough to have Blaise take our Margarita Masterclass. It was loads of fun, it's engaging and relatively easy and let's the groups creativity shine! For the price it was well worth it and I would absolutely do it again - it you have an event and you're looking for something fun to do, I definitely recommend their Margarita Masterclass! We also chose to eat the Mexican Fiesta meal, which is a selection of delicious items from their menu. Again, for the price this was so worth it - you get so much food! The fried chicken, quesadillas and tacos were a huge hit! Plus you get churros for dessert The staff were so wonderful and kind and accommodating - even the manager of the Britomart location, Oliver, was incredibly helpful with organizing the evening. It was a truly fabulous experience and I would suggest it to anyone looking for a fun evening out!

Outstanding service and food. Positive friendly and professional. My brother liked the Physiotherapist. Many thanks

Very fast service ! Food was yummy. Well priced. Nice seats but music is way too loud.

Good store but seats are very close to each other its like they try to fit more seats Over all was good

Delicious food! One of my favourite places to eat in Takapuna. Their margaritas are amazing, they come in so many different flavours and you can either have them with cubes of ice or like a slushie. My go to is their salsa as an entre and the blackened onion crema with the chicken quesadilla for a main! Not to forget their fried chicken 😍 sign up for their loyalty program and you get a snack free with every main!

First time back for a while. I have good memories from other visits and was pleased to find everything here is still fantastic. Food was tasty and came out quickly. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive. Food recommendations were spot on. I noticed the service team were able to use any available people to cover when the main table server was busy elsewhere, a sign of a good system and team dynamic. All in all, a lovely dining experience, although maybe one suited for bigger kids (10+) and adults. They're expensive, but they hold up their end of the deal, so all good! We'll be back.
