Went as a group of 5 on a friday evening, service was excellent, food arrived in good time and everyone loved the food, fish tacos were amazing.
This Mexican food is delectable! The corn cakes with spicy beans, burritos, fish tacos, fajitas, guacamole, red rice, horchata, homemade tortilla chips -- everything was mouth-watering good! The bartender made up a new drink (a hibiscus mojito) that was so good, I hope he permanently adds it to the menu. We also appreciate the sustainable fish, meats, produce, dairy and stainless steel straws to prevent single use plastic pollution! Bravo!!!! I've asked Santa for the cookbook & I have stocked up on their tomatillo sauce because I use it when I make guacamole at home!
Love this place!
The home made corn chips are amazing and the service is always on point!!
Great equipped bar.
Make sure you book as this place is always busy!
The food is fancy Mexican with smaller portions but still fills one up. The staff are friendly and attentive and the ambiance is great with all of the Mexican modern decor. My one complaint is that you have to order beans and rice separately. They are always as staple part of the Mexican meal in my experience.
Dined here recently and the experience was good. Prompt friendly service, short wait for a table and super quick food delivery on this visit. The drinks menu is good - great range I thought. The food menu is small but I prefer a more limited choice. All of our meals were absolutely yum. Great fit out, nice colours and very clean. This place is fun and buzzing.
Never disappoints. Not only the best Mexican by far in Wellington, but one of the best generally. This is not your standard Mexican stodge. Food is so fresh, real care over sourcing and ingredients, service is very cool and love the commitment to a living wage. The smoked fish burritos are subtle and strong, the salsas are a variety of tastes and there is no ducking the need for a bit of heat where required. One minor suggestion would be a couple more specials to give variety. But love it, and will again.
Popped in for lunch and a beer! Ordered the beef and pulled pork tacos which were excellent and great hot sauce to accompany the meal , would recommend to anyone who enjoys Mexican food 👌
Just. Fabulous. Authentic Mexican food in a warm friendly environment and fantastic service. Highly recommend the goat burrito and the smoked fish tacos.
Having to head a little out of town for dinner at La Boca Loca means that eating there is not without a sense of 'this better be worth it' and, honestly, it always is. I had birthday dinner at LBL last night and it was so, so good. My favourite meal there is the smoked fish burrito - it has a great balance of flavour and just the right amount of heat. The totopos (corn chips) are another highlight. You can taste the dedication to fresh ingredients. Go there for the totopos, stay for all of the other delicious things.
I've been going to LaBocaLoca religiously since they opened in 2011. The flavours are so fresh, wonderful, and I love that they don't have a microwave! Organic goodness served with a smile by great staff (I especially love the little Latina spitfire FOH manager, reow!)
LaBocaLoca will forever be a Wellington favourite. The only good Mexican food in the South Pacific for sure!
Some of the best Mexican in town can be quite busy some days. The menu extensive and they go out of their way to offer homemade and Gluten Free options
Lovely staff! Amazing food, the boca loca salad with smoked fish is highly recommended!
Man, the flavors here are fantastic. We had some delicious food that I would most definitely rate at 4-5 stars. The burrito I had (the special for the week) consisted of steak, bacon and some kind of cheese I've never had, but made for an awesome flavor. The biggest issue I had was that the portion sizes were so small for the very large price. Otherwise, a great place for some delicious food.

I love this place. The food is full of flavour and it's great to know you're paying for ethically sourced ingredients. A great range of local craft beers, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff - sometimes singing in Spanish :) Share a few plates and salsas between you and try a range of their amazing food.

I went here with a large group of 14 several months ago, after struggling to get a table elsewhere. It had been the 7s weekend, and the first thing they did was apologise profusely for missing 2 things on a very expansive menu. They were so genuine in their service, which was friendly and attentive. We were served by a man who's name I believe was Ossa (spelling) and I have to say he is probably the best waiter I have encountered. The food was fast, and fantastic, considering the size of the table. I got one of the taco options, and my girlfriend got the breakfast burrito, both of which were incredible. My girlfriend is half Mexican, and was very impressed with the food. The food, service, and ambiance was enough to get a 5 star rating, but when it came to payment, they discounted our bill due to the menu missing items, and then also gave us some free corn chips to try (one of the things they had been missing that they had just finished preparing when we left). This is service. This is what you want when you go out. Well done, and thank you.
The staff were super helpful and the meal was great. There is a good selection of beers, a cocktail of the week and wide range of tequila and margaritas. The carnitas were a highlight for me, the sides were good and all the desserts were great. And they offer takeaway as well, what more could you want.
Really great, obviously the place to eat if your catching a film just a few doors down. Nice meals and decently priced, order 2 alcohol drinks. Starter, 2 mains, 2 sides, and 2 Mexican hot chocolates with a total of $95.
Not a lot of Mexican in Wellington and this one being a fair bit more authentic than Mexico off cuba.
A+
Authentic Mexican at a great price and it's delicious, what more could you want?
Loved our host who knew lots about the menu and offered us a chewable snack while eating our margaritas. Will definitely return
Went there for some really good Mexican food, and found it, albeit a really limited menu for lunch. We each had pork and beef taco as well as chips and guacamole.
Also had some questions about their cookbook (where to get products for the recipes) and unfortunately did not get answers. The restaurant is a $30 cab ride from the CBD which will make the meal quite expensive. But it was really good food.
Best Mexican in Wellington. It is a favourite for our family. Food is fresh with clean, moreish flavours. Salsa verde is delicious. We like this place because food is how it should be - uncomplicated and authentic and priced very reasonably.
