The food was fantastic. Sadly the service was greatly lacking. We stopped by on a rainy Sunday night so we ate inside (they have several tables outside with nice views). The guacamole dip and salsa with tortilla chips were yummy. My husband ordered three tacos--Baja fish, res de bourbon beef, and pulled pork. The beef was his favorite. I had the chicken chilli Colorado salad in a tortilla with lettuce, corn, sour cream, and avocados which was fresh and delicious. We had several drinks and would have ordered desserts but none of the servers were around. They ate and then left so we just paid our bill. I might give them another chance hoping for better service. read more

We had dinner at Amigos while in Wanaka. Their margaritas are to die for. Amazing veggie taco options. Loved the ambience and their sombreros. Service was great too! read more

Amazing Mexican food. So good that I ordered three soft tacos all for myself . Quite a lot of vegetarian options , I got the mushroom , potato and elote based taco . My husband got the baja fish taco. He loved it, and got a second one. Little difficult to find parking during peak dinner times as it is located in a central location. read more

Cute little restaurant in the busy heart of Wānaka. Parking can be a little tricky as the entrance to the car park is directly off the traffic circle. There's plenty of parking in the back of the building for Wanaka Hotel. I imagine that because the restaurant is connected to the hotel that it's alright to park in their car park. Just follow the signs to reception to find the connected restaurant entrance. All of the adjacent street parking is either 30 or 10 minute parking. The ambiance is eclectic and there is a great view out towards the lake if you are sitting towards the front of the restaurant. We got a tortilla soup, Baja fish taco, carne asada taco and pork belly taco. The tortilla soup was tasty and thick. No beans or corn or cilantro to be seen. It was served with a dollop of sour cream and was topped with some tortilla strips and green onions. Although it wasn't what we expected, it was yummy. The tacos....ah, the tacos. I wish I had better things to say. Firstly, we just so happened to be there on taco Tuesday so all tacos were $6. The lower prices helped ease the disappointment. Secondly, they took forever. I'm not sure if everything is cooked to order or if the wide variety of ingredients and toppings for each taco is what caused them to take so long to produce. Honestly, there's just too much going on. Tacos should be simple; these are not. The steak was difficult to chew and had no flavor. The fish taco was the most tasty and the pork belly was just alright. The Classico margarita was just a basic margarita. Would I visit again? Probably. I'd like to give a few of the other tacos a try BUT I'd only come on taco Tuesday when the prices are more appropriate for the quality of the food. If "fancy" Mexican is your thing, this place might be your speed. read more

Before i start my review, you have to try their spicy margarita! Excellent food here, their service is great, they have fun sombreros to wear during your meal, and the vast selection of tacos made our dinner really great. So many options to choose from, you just have to come and check this place out. There is covered outdoor seating which is very appealing, and it's off the busy streets so you get some peace time as well from the crowds. Highly recommend coming to visit! read more

The tacos here are phenomenal and they have tons of gluten free options. Clearly labeled menus for dietary restrictions are available if you ask, but make sure to let your server know about any allergies--the tacos are not gluten free by default. I got the pollo frito and gambas and they were both delicious. The classico margarita was great as well! read more

Upon walking in there's a stack of sombreros to wear, how festive! Also $5 tacos before 6pm! My friend and I opted to get the veggie tacos: cauliflower and black beans with carrots. We both appreciated how much thought they put into the veggie tacos. You seldom see two options for vegetarians! In my opinion the black beans were too salty, but overall the taco was good nonetheless! I find most places overlook the vegetarian community and throw together some super bland veggies and call it a day. Amigos' veggie tacos were super flavorful. They also make their own hot sauce! A jalapeño one which was very mild and refreshing imo, and a chipotle one which was nice and smokey. Definitely recommend! read more

Amigos - Cauliflower and black bean and carrot tacos with veggie nachos - Mexican Near Me - Wanaka, OTA

Came here looking for a feed after one of the activities we did in Lake Wanaka. They had $5 tacos until 5pm. I ordered 3 tacos. I don't usually go for duck menu items, however, it ended up being the best one, in my opinion. My sister had some quesadillas, and came in a thicker tortilla. Looked very nice and crispy. One thing I will say, the staff member that seated us took a while to come back around, and the place was empty, so I was a little disappointed. Other than that, the rest of the staff were lovely and very helpful! Best Mexican place I've been to!! read more

Nice place, came in for the $5 tacos. The tacos are decent but coming from San Diego it doesn't compare... My favorite was the chicken taco. Their house sangria is great!! Not too sweet and really good. If sangria is your thing, definitely try the one here. Over all nice atmosphere at 3pm. read more

Amigos - Mexican Near Me - Wanaka, OTA

Great Mexican food. Up there with the best I've ever had - and that says a lot after having lived in SF for the past 11 years and visiting Mexico several times. Came in not expecting much and left pleasantly surprised and very very satisfied. Pro tip, order the pork quesadilla and the chips with queso sauce. Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I feel its a little too expensive for what it is. read more

I had driven past this place a few times but never actually went in until today. Great decision - the food was excellent! You order 2-3 dishes to make it a satisfying meal for 1. This is quite nice as it enables you to have a few different types of dishes. I can definitely recommend the beef enchiladas and the pork belly soft taco! read more

I'd driven past this place a couple of times and each time there had been a group of people inside wearing sombreros, which had somewhat perplexed me! It turns out they have them on hand for when the sun is streaming in - and I was prompted to try one on during our meal. I could have been in Mexico..(though that may have been the sangria effect) The staff here are not only friendly, but can also give a full run down of the menu and the differences between quesadillas, burritos and enchiladas. Everyone at our table was impressed with their meal, and the consensus was great tasting food for a reasonable price. My salad, in an edible corn chip bowl was kind of a big deal! I would definitely visit Amigos again - you should too next time you are in Wanaka. read more

A good option for Mexican while in Wanaka. It's not authentic, but it serves its purpose well. The drinks were pretty good and they did know how to make a quite useful margarita. Friendly staff and a good location. read more

Pretty decent Mexican feed! Really good queso dip and home-made tortilla chips. The mains were good too, could have used a bit more spice though & some avocado/ guacamole wouldn't have gone astray on my enchiladas! read more

This is some of the best Mexican I've had anywhere. Fantastic range of tacos. Beautiful twist on nachos. Kid friendly. Just perfect.

Love this place. The tacos are delicious and there is an interesting variety. The Jalapeno Margaritas are my favorite drink. Lovely. I will always stop here whenever in Wanaka. read more

Went here on our first night in Wanaka. We were visiting from the U.S. so I guess it was a bit funny to get Mexican food all the way in New Zealand, but I must say the food and service was amazing with a very fun atmosphere. read more

Superb location, excellent seating arrangement, fantastic ambience but below average food. Clearly, either they dont get the authentic ingredients or are trying hard to learn how to make good mexican cuisine. However, 5-star for the effort and courage to start a latin restaurant in NZ. read more

Live music between 3-5 PM, great tacos Mexican style with NZ touch, amazing margaritas and tasty local beers. What else can u ask for?!

Didn't get a chance to try the food. The hostess was having a bad day. Probably should find a job that suits her attitude.

Great place, great food, great service. Only thing is its definitely not authentic Mexican food. It tastes like typical american, kiwi food. The only thing that mildly tasted like Mexican food was their home made jalapeños based sauce. Guac was below average. Margaritas were dilicious. read more

If you remove "Mexican" out of your expectation then it's not too bad. Lamb taco was their special and I liked it. One review said the queso was good but it definitely was not. Had a tangy taste to it. Salsa and guac were ok. We really liked the home made corn tortilla chips. But getting them with 3 dips for over $15 was not worth it. Service was good. read more

Giving Amigos two stars might be a bit too generous. We booked our dinner through the "book me" site. When we arrived, the manager was unaware of our reservation and even made us feel as if we had inconvenienced him in some way. We were then served a margarita, as part of the book me deal, and I'm not convinced there was any tequila at all. It was basically blended ice water with a lemon wedge. Next came the nachos that were supposed to be our choice of meat. No meat whatsoever. The nachos consisted of a small amount of salsa and cheese that wasn't melted onto the chips. The bartender and bus boy were extremely friendly which we appreciated! Needless to say we won't be back to Amigos. read more
