Mexican Cafe
What other Aucklanders are saying about Mexican Cafe.
Customer : Excellent service. Delicious food. Great value for money. Fabulous decor. Walked in and were served so quickly that our drinks order arrived at the same time as the meals. Highly recommend.
Customer : Food was nice and flavourful. Had Chimichangas (ground beef) and quesadilla(chicken) which were really tasty. It was houseful which is expected on a Friday. Nice bar too
Customer : Came across this wee gem by accident. Loved the decor, service with a smile and the food was delish. Was a tad expensive for a burrito though, however, It was packed with yummyness as were the tacos!!!!! Salad was beautifully fresh and refried beans were tasty. The staff were so happy and friendly and the service was great. Would Def recommend a visit.
Customer : Awesome place.
Hospitality & food amazing.
Best Mexican food I have had. The recommendation was SPOT ON for the meal we chose.
Next time will definitely try the margarita I saw the barman making for another table.
See you soon !
Customer : Food was good, and there was a verity of options, drinks etc. The staff was very nice, friendly, helpful and it was all quite timely. The place however was very cold, and over priced for the size of the meal. $14 for mini curios and dipping chocolate.
4 out 5 stars at best.
Customer : Great vibe. Tasty food and fast service. So good to have hospitailty back and busy ! Make sure you book as they get real full…
Customer : After such a long time I was soo excited to eat here as I always considered Mexican Cafe being the OG of decent Mexican food in NZ. I’m from the States and Mexican food is my favourite. In all the years of coming here I only EVER order the classic cheese enchilada. Well let me say never going back. Firstly the waitress didn’t understand when I said I just want classic cheese enchilada. She kept asking me which meat I wanted and that she didn’t understand. After telling her what I DIDN’T WANT in the Enchilada she finally got the order. Well, when my order came what a shock. The rice and bean came together in a small bowl. Before they used to be a good portion on the plate. Then the salad which was like sorry looking and not good. My daughter was confused saying tasted like Macdonald salad in a burger. But most disappointing was the enchilada. Hardly any cheese and full of big chunks of onion. We love our onions but this is not how they should be in an enchilada. I was absolutely shocked! What is going on there. What a waste of money. Mexicali and Mad Mex are 10x better and I usually dont like togo to those places as they are not authentic Mexican. Money wasted and night ruined.
Customer : I am not one to go to the effort of writing a bad review but I feel that I would have liked to know this before booking at the Mexican cafe. I have been here multiple times a few years ago and absolutely loved it but wow, I was so disappointed with this visit. I have never returned food at a restaurant but we honestly could not eat what they had served. The soft tacos were soggy, brown shredded lettuce obviously from a bag and the chicken was that of what you would get off a supermarket roast chicken. When I let the waitress know that we simply could not eat it as it was honestly disgusting she did offer us something else but there was no real apology or effort made to make our experience more enjoyable. It is safe to say I will not be returning or recommending the Mexican Cafe, unfortunately.
