Review Boquita - Wellington

Bennis Dennis

Really nice vegan Mexican restaurant! Great option for a meat free Monday ;) Really lovely staff who are willing to explain parts of the menu. Delicious tempeh and potato tacos with lots of flavour. Could probably miss the felafel option next time otherwise highly recommend.

Fabulous vegetarian Mexican cuisine. So tasty, so fresh. The nachitos were a great starter - lovely taste & crunch from the chips. The tacos are fairly small but strong flavours & just a nice tingle of heat. Great for vegetarians & omnivores alike.

Prepare to wait a long time for service, as this operation is stripped right back to the core. It might take 45 minutes from sitting down to eating, but the food is delicious. If you have a lazy summers evening to while away talking nonsense with your friends, I can’t recommend this place more.

This place is amazing, I will be returning! The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious and healthy and nice and quick. The food was so good even meat eaters liked it.

Inviting and trendy atmosphere for delicious tacos. Perfect place for a casual dinner or intimate date. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. They were accommodating and we did not have to wait long for a table or food. So nice to go somewhere that is plant-based friendly and they do not compromise flavour. The drinks were also delicious and the server was very good at recommending based on our preference/mood. They also have a cute stand to buy hot sauce & dried chilli for home! Thank you boquita for giving Wellington a plant-based alternative and not costing the earth for it!

Cute little Mexican restaurant, if you want to enjoy great vegetarian food that’s a place to be! The menu is short but you have the choice between a few tacos and dishes to share made from fresh products, loved it

Unreal vegan tacos. A must if you are vegan, vegetarian, or just love good plant based food.

Best taco in New Zealand. This place is a must. Don't hesitate. You will love it.

Limited menu but we'll worth a visit. Very good vegan Mexican tacos. Good depth of flavours and not the usual overly rich mix of dairy and meat. I'll be back for sure

Having become a vegan pretty recently, I've been looking around for places to eat out and not just have one or two things to choose. Finding an entire vegan menu AND it's tacos... Well, that in itself was pretty good. But then I tried the tacos and OH MY GOODNESS! I have to admit that I went back three times that week, taking someone new each time to introduce them to the amazing flavours and innovative combinations. How about cardamon potato rosti? Cauliflower ceviche salad? The mole! Great beers. Have not tried their range of tequilas yet... saving that for a Friday night ;) This places comes highly recommended. Nice casual vibe, and terrifically friendly folk.

Best tacos I have ever eaten. I wasn't hungry but still ordered a second round. Food is meticously prepared and very creative. If I could give six stars I would. Eggplant in beer batter tacos were off the charts good!!!!

The food was delicious, good price, and great service. And they are a living wage employer !!!! Will definitely be back.

Just had the best tacos ever!!! Definitely a must go for foodies (especially the vegan ones) in Wellington! Tacos were top notch! Seasoning on the sweet spot! We had the tofu and mole, the falafel and also the spaghetti squash and beans. There was something magical about the beans on the last one. This wine like flavour I took my palate to the stars! This one was our favorite. I also had the avo chocolate slice (no photos because I ate it on the way back to the hostel). The balance between the crust and the mousse was made to perfection. The lady was beautifully lovely and so was the place. Nice and clean setting. Good music, great vibes and ambiance! Just loved it! Keep on the great work, guys! This good food and service makes people happy as!

For a vegetarian, the food was fantastic. Loved the eggplant filled burrito. In fact, all the fillings were great. It was open mike night - interesting! Very enjoyable night overall.

We want to have this food for our wedding (shame we're from the UK 😔). Its so tasty, simple menu, but this mean they did everything superbly. The papachitos were our favourite. The ambience of the place is calm and chilled too. Small space, so I can imagine you might have to wait for a table at busy times.

First visit. Unfortunately upstairs not open so subjected to the customer flow and associated noise.Food was delicious but some options out of stock. Very filling Burrito, one was enough for this big eater. Was a Wednesday night and busy so popular choice. Prices moderate.
