Pretty darned good! I am a swift judge since I come from Arizona. The green salsa much better than the red. The lamb taco was bomb. All in all good stuff.

Gracias por la experiencia mejicana compa. I haven't had Tres Leches dessert since living back in Texas and it was a treat! Thank you for the proper serving of guacamole and frijoles con arroz.

Love the food and the ambience! Came here with my ladies and we had fun with yummy food, lovely ambience (the interior design is super colorful and meticulous, feels like you’re in Mexico 💜) and friendly staff. The service is fast as well I tried the sola the tortillas, quesadillas, enchiladas, and tacos. All good and no complaints. Too bad we couldn’t try ceviche.. hopefully next time Many choices for vegetarians too, like Morelia enchilada with vegan chorizo! They have varieties of drinks as well. I really love the setting with beautiful murals, pictures, garlands, statues and more. Very vibrant, very Mexico 💜 Happy to be back here again soon!

Absolutely amazing. The energy of the staff and how proactive and professional they all are is great. You order and your food is there so fast! I have never eaten anywhere where the food is bought out so fast. So authentic and really makes you feel happy being in there, the atmosphere and aesthetic is great. The staff are quick, efficient and friendly too which made the whole experience even better, they are so clean and on it when it comes to busting tables and clearing and cleaning efficiently. Drinks were great too!

BEST Mexican food I have had in New Zealand. Portion sizes are amazing for the price and so flavourful. Service is great. The place can get a little crowded due to the floor layout but it's worth it for the food.

It really looks like a cantina, all we needed is a mariachi band. Great atmosphere, delicious food with warm and friendly service from the serving staff. The toilet needs a slight upgrade. Aside from that, it was a very pleasant evening amongst friends.

Very instagrammable joint and live the vibes. Service was 5star excellent. We didn't even say anything about celebrating a birthday. The service staff just overheard our conversation and offered the birthday boy a treat! That was not even necessary and we appreciate that very much. So thoughtful. Needless to say, food was super awesome !!!

This is the gold standard for Mexican in Wellington, every time my partner and I have dined here it’s been an amazing 10/10 experience. From the great friendly and perfect customer service to the delicious delectable food, there’s nothing this place could do wrong. If you’re thinking of coming here, stop thinking and do it. You won’t regret it and you’ll continue to comeback.

As authentic as it gets. On the day we visited our chef was one of their Mexican chefs. The food was fresh, flavoursome, and full of colour. The accompanying drinks were the perfect combination for each tasty morsel. The service was quick and knowledgeable. I could also relate to the vibe of its decor.

Stunning food as always. Brilliant flavours, and presentation. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting too. It was my birthday, and they had a Tequila shot for me and a sombrero! My favourite restaurant in New Zealand by a Looooong way.
