Mexican restaurant in Wellington

“Whole place is vegan, fast turnover didn't have to wait to long for a table. Not fancy dining simple and great affordable food. Will be back to try more off the menu”

“I love Mexican food so I had been searching for a good burrito place in Wellington and this is it! So delicious with fresh ingredients and lots of vegan & vegetarian options. Reasonably priced for the size. Great location on the waterfront to grab a to-go lunch during the work week. And the people there are very friendly! ¡Muchas gracias!”

“The food was really good. They have a large menu with a good mix of traditional curries, vegan options, and tasty Chef’s specials. Super high quality curries, tender meat, perfect rice, and tasty naan. To top it off, the service was fast and the price was great. New favourite Indian place in Wellington!”

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting this charming cafe, and it exceeded all my expectations! The coffee was top-notch, and the cheese scone was simply divine - a perfect pairing. The service was impeccable, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout my visit. The cozy and inviting atmosphere made it a delightful spot to sit and enjoy my treats. I also noticed that the cafe seems to be under new ownership, and the positive changes are evident. I highly recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a great cup of coffee and delicious treats in a warm and welcoming setting. I can't wait to return!”

“The food was SO good!!!!!!! Fantastic service! The nicest Thai place I have ever been to! Lovely food presentation. Everything is fresh and full of flavour! Definitely come back again!”

“Tuesday night and the place was heaving. Mind you, a good steak meal and a drink for $29 and you can't go wrong. Despite being out in the courtyard on a cold night, it was pleasantly comfortable and wait staff were friendly.”

“I visited Wellington for my 30th birthday and decided to celebrate in the best way by treating myself to a lovely high tea at the Hippopotamus restaurant. I had such a wonderful experience, the atmosphere was incredible along with the view, lovely staff and of course the high tea itself was absolutely delicious!”

“We went there for dinner... I've been meaning to eat there for ages, but always ended up at another eatery. Just as well they've been around for many many years. I'd been hanging for a masala dosa, and I got it tonight...it was so worth the wait too. Crispy fragrant pancake with spiced filling of potatoes.. with 2 dipping sauces...both adding a refreshing different taste with the dosa. The ambience, and decor was very warm and inviting. Very happy dining experience cheers.”

“We dined in on the weekend and booked a reservation although they kindly sat us earlier. The location is great, facing the coast with a park right across the way. There's seating indoors and out. Plenty of parking available. Staff friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the loaded fries and shared it. We recommend trying this place out if you like Mexican style dishes.”

“This food is so delicious and reasonable price and so many gluten free options. We visited today and it was just the tall guy with the beard working alone, getting slammed with orders but still taking all orders and making all the food with no help to a delicious standard and considering it was just him, fast pace. Some people were being pretty impatient and demanding to know when orders would be ready, watching him making their food and saying how much sauce to put on exactly etc just being unreasonable Karen types. But he was super professional and handled it all like a boss. Do wish he had some help though he will be knackered tonight.”

“My favourite hot pot buffet in Wellington! All you can eat with fresh and tasty meat and vegetables. Highly recommend if you are craving hot pot. They have a large variety of options and come in cute individual pots! They also have a $29 hot pot with limited options but still tasty and just as filling.”

“Finally real Mexican food in Wellington The owner is an awesome guy Mexican too.”

“Food was good, good potion and it was a birthday dinner we have even been offered a free dessert for the birthday star. Service was as good as to be expected. Our desserts has been delayed due to lack of staffs and we were nearly left without the desserts.”

“Amazing food and amazing service. The wait staff were always on hand and super helpful. The food was all very well thought out, with everyone's favourite being the apple dessert. Thanks!”

“Flame grilled bbq food, Mediterranean Cypriot cuisine, Goat, Chicken, Beef and Pork Souvlaki, Burgers, baklava, and coffee and more! Food is amazingly delicious, with friendly staff!”

“I had the jfc bowl and it was amazing !! Great price, great service and delicious food. 100% recommend”

“Taco good. Porc great. Mushroom really ok. Spoon clean. Five stars.”

“I had a very nice stew. It was very yummy, didn't have to wait too long. Recommend it for a nice meal for lunch.”

“Awesome food, great value and super friendly to boot. My 2 x kids (aged 7 + 9) wanted to give 10 stars as 'this is the best I have ever eaten' Highest possible praise for 2 (sometimes) picky eaters. Will be back for more. Also, super impressed how busy they were - wish I found this food truck earlier!”

“What a great experience. Kept ordering the bam bam chicken and the lychee!”

“One of the best plant based cafes I have ever been to in New Zealand! Delicious is the only word I need.”

“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.”

“Really great vegan food! Build your own veggie bowl with tons of different options. I also tried the vegan nuggets and dumplings they were just as amazing.”

“Best food we have had at a Restaurant this year. We were greeted with great service as soon as we walked in and given the option to sit in bar until a table became available. We had 5 Tapas which were all absolutely devine and could not fault in any way possible. The churros were next level, fresh and warm and sooooo tasty. My Husband and I will back again to try more of the food they offer. Cocktails were also superb.”

“Lovely little cafe. Excellent food, great coffee, fast and friendly service. They have plenty of vegan options, and gluten-free options too; so there's something for everyone to enjoy :)”

“Loved it. Was really cool being back in the little “village” I grew up in and seeing it now has a little tap house. Staff were great, beer was great. Definitely recommend you try the sour beer!”

“Exceptional service and drinks, went for dinner with a big group of friends, Luna looked after us while Acacia was slinging cocktails at the bar. The food was great, birria tacos were my favorite. I would recommend 10/10”

“Great food and service. Food is very authentic and the mole and pickled cactus are to die for. Lot of options for gluten free and vegan/vegetarian.”

“What a great spot! Love the coffee cups. Love the atmosphere. An easy place to meet. Well worth a visit.”
