    Chips and salsa
    Neil P.

    Stopped by while exploring the viaduct area, they had good harbor side location and the drinks menu looked good. Ordered the chips and salsa with the jalapeño margarita. The drink was well made and the salsa was delicious. The tacos were pretty disappointing, the tortilla tasted stale and the potato taco had no flavor. And the cactus was overcooked. Good place to come for a drink and enjoy a break while exploring the area, I would skip on the food though

    Sangria
    Chris N.

    Came in for drinks and ended up ordering some food. The margaritas were very good. Not my favorite but my wife loved them. I ordered the sangria and it was very good. I really enjoyed the cinnamon stick that they added and the flavor it brought to the drink. We ended up ordering some chips and salsa and a quesadilla. They chips seemed like they were made in house and the salsa had good flavor. I really enjoyed the chicken quesadilla and could tell it was fresh chicken and not the processed chicken you sometimes get. It was a little pricier than the quality that you got but overall it was a nice place with a fantastic location.

    Food is bad, service worse. Guacamole was premade, chips were stale, and our drinks never came.

    While we tried this restaurant in the AKL airport, it was fire . We enjoyed the Burritos and bowl…read moreand they were packed with so much flavor! The peri peri chicken was amazing. You order and pick up your food at the counter. The salsa and hot sauce they provide was a great add. Ambiance was your typical airport restaurant. Honestly would go here again this food was fantastic.

    I visited the Sylvia park location but since it's not on Yelp I will write my review here…read more This is a fusion restaurant with Mexico as inspiration, but for me has more style than substance. The staff were friendly and the service was fast, the decor is brilliant, but the food is way off. A carne asada taco really only requires steak, onion, cilantro and salsa. The carne asada taco here had fried onion rings and chipotle mayo. The only thing I could taste when I bit into it was the mayo. The battered shrimp taco tasted like turmeric. With the lack of authentic mexican food in NZ, I really wonder why this restaurant chain thought it needed to change up on an amazing cuisine, and then to name the restaurant "Mexico". I can't tell if it's arrogance or a lack of confidence to reproduce the real flavors. It neither produced something special and new, nor reproduced the magic of the original. Fine for what it is though, but I had high hopes that a restaurant named "Mexico" would live up to its name.

    Oi my gosh, this was exactly what I needed today! I have had Lucky Taco's tacos many times, but…read moretoday was the first time I tried the De Sesos (lamb brains) and Lucky Lengua (beef tongue) tacos! One thing I have always appreciated was that fact that their tacos have an amazing balance of citrus, creamy (I think it's the avo cream/sour cream), spice, and savoury. And if it's not hot enough the jalapeño hot sauce will do the trick if it's not spicy enough! The beef was divine - whatever they marinated it in was amazing. Literally hit the nail on the head. It was juicy, tender, and slightly spicy. Honestly I didn't now what to expect anyway as I can't remember what beef tongue tastes like. If it were a blind tasting I probably wouldn't have guessed tongue! The brains were... Interesting. It was kind of yellowish-greenish in colour. It was swimming in all sorts of greenery and cabbage though so colour palette-wise it actually complimented well! However it had sort of a weird consistency (what do you expect it's brains!) and did not have as much flavour as the tongue. Love the Lucky Taco, love what they are doing. I'd go back for the tongue and Horchata (it's a must and dials down the spice), but I wouldn't run back for the brains. It's novel though, so I'd recommend trying it.

    Last year, I discovered The Lucky Taco at The Auckland Food Show and it is definitely one of my…read morefavourite foodie experiences to date! Delicious authentic tacos in either a corn or flour tortilla plus an agua de horchata (sweetened, iced rice milk infused with cinnamon) and you're all set for the day! The owners (Sarah and Otis Frizzell) are so lovely, that you will definitely want to go back! The second time I encountered The Lucky Taco was at The Auckland Food Show this year. They had a great set up at the show and their tacos were just as delicious as the year before. I was also really excited to see Sarah and Otis again and even more excited to try their Pulled Pork Taco. It is absolutely delicious, a bit spicy, but oh so good! They also have a great little set up along Ponsonby Road which I have taken a long time to visit, however, three weeks ago I did! It was the most beautiful sunny day and I just happened to be walking in the area. I tried the 'Breakfast Taco' - spicy chorizo sausage plus an egg (ohmygawd delicious!) and a Pulled Pork Taco, which has a great kick! It will forever be my favourite taco! Sarah and Otis were as friendly as ever and there were many people queuing up for their tacos - you will definitely find out why once you try one! (Or two or three in my case!)
