Our favourite place in Whitianga!!! This family run place always blows us away. The food is clearly made with love. So flavourful and well composed. The staff is warm and welcoming and happy to help with any questions, so don't be shy if you don't know mexican food! The wonderful bartender makes beautiful cocktails and the perfect classic Margarita. Some of our menu favourites are poppers (no one else does them like this!), the chicken mole taco, the HUGE nachos and the beef burrito, oh and the churros!!! Honestly, you can't go wrong. We love their ferry landing location and look forward to their move to Whitianga proper! This place is a MUST GO!

I'm a big fan of Mexican food (the "real" stuff, SoCal Mex, TexMex ... you name it), and this was probably the best Mexican meal I've eaten in New Zealand. The fried pickles and jalapeo poppers we ordered as entrees were absolutely mouth-watering, and the mains (between us we ordered two quesadillas, the nachos and a couple of tacos) were all delicious with wonderful, complex flavours and generous portions. What's more, despite being busy the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back.

Margaritas so small and expensive. The worst we have ever had. Watery lime juice pretty much Guacamole and salsa consisted of some guacamole and a little bit of diced tomato. Not salsa in a separate dish. Nachos and burritos ok. Baja fish dry with the same little amount of so called guacamole and salsa. Nothing much Mexican about it Kid-friendliness: Welcomed our grandaughter
