Do you want terrible customer service and bad food? Well, here you are! Management is extremely poor.

We went due to them being advertised in the entertainment book. However, when we went to pay they said they wouldn't honor the discount as they said they no longer accept them (no signs or anything nothing this). However, looking through reviews later the same complaint has been made over 2 years ago. Obviously, they are just using the entertainment book for the advertising. The service was poor. We were the only customers but were barely acknowledged once our food had been ordered. We waited 15 minutes to order dessert but no one came, so we paid and left. Very disappointed and would never go back.

Firstly the good, cocktails were nice Friendly staff. Ordered nachos, next to no toppings basically just cornchips Asked for hot sauce and received a chutney like sauce with no heat. Would expect a Mexican restaurant to have an array of traditional hot sauces available. Upon paying the bill was asked to pay extra for the 'hot' sauce which thankfully was removed from the bill. Probably won't go back. Few tweaks and it could be decent.

We were a party of four on a blustery Sunday evening on holiday in Tauranga and La Mexica caught our eye, looking like an authentic, run-down little cantina in Distrito Federal in Mexico. What it lacked in freshness it made up for in a generous menu and Coronas. The music segwayed seamlessly from Mexican soft rock and ballads to Indian romance, but really, the food was the star of the night. Generous portions and sizzling plates of goodness. We would go back, particularly if there were a few more of us to fill the place up a bit more.
