Reviews
"This is the best Mexican I’ve been to in NZ, seriously. Fantastic portion size, the platter for 2 was something special. The chefs are skilled operators who know how to cook Mexican food. We will be back!"
"Authentic Mexican Food, I always order the ceviche and is always the same quality, taste and freshness. Tacos are yummy too… And you have to try the churros, they taste just like they do in Mexico."
"Service with a smile guaranteed, food and atmosphere were great. Only criticism would be no spice level option. Would be nice to chose what spice level you’d like your dish to be. However spice level is mild to cater for all. Extensive menu that considers many dietary requirements Would go back."
"If tacos were drugs, I'd be in serious trouble. El Cartel Mexicano's tacos take me back to the dry, dusty streets of Mexico gorging myself on tacos al pastor y carne asada. The wait was a bit long on Taco Tuesday, but worth it for every delectable bite. Many have tried in New Zealand to create great tacos but this wins my gold medal."
"El Cartel brought their caravan along to my wedding and catered dinner and then brunch the next day. Amazing value, super friendly staff, and best of all, really, really good food. 10/10. Would recommend and would use again!"
