The bar was leaking on our night out dancing, there where no warning signs nothing and they didn't even try to reduce the amount of water on the dance floor and I slipped and dislocated my knee. When I fell, I landed on my phone and it got completely destroyed. Now I am aware that I do not have a legal claim here, but when I tried to file a report that night, they sent me home and told me to come back the next day. I could barely walk and just wanted to cry. They still didn't give me any claim form the next day, just took some pictures and told me they'd call me. But nothing. I am still waiting. If you don't have the courtesy to take some responsibility for sth that got destroyed because of you neglecting your health and safety regulations, at least be polite enough to write an email, answer on Facebook and say sorry. Don't make the other person wait and hope to hear back, because any little amount would have helped, as I do not have much money and also I couldn't even recover my Data. I find that behaviour simply mean. I got completely ignored. If you don't want to cover anything fair, you are not legally bound, unless I'd sue you, for which I do not have the money and I already left Tauranga, but don't just ignore somebody. At least reply and say sorry...that's really all I was waiting for :(

I'm sad to say, there were too many…read moredisappointments to overlook, despite the fact that I could have been happy with just about anything because I was really craving Mexican food. To put my review in context, I've spent 10 years living in California and I have actually been to Mexico a few times. So, I'm used to both food truck-type street food as well as higher-end Mexican food. I went here with my husband and two young children. We were the only patrons when we arrived for lunch. I wanted to start with chips and salsa and asked the server if their red or green salsa was spicier. Even though salsa verde is on their menu for a starter, she didn't know what it was. We went ahead and ordered the salsa verde with corn chips. A seemingly long time later (it's just chips and salsa folks), she brought out a bowl of chips and red (tomato) salsa. I asked her if that was their salsa verde. She said "yes." I said, "It's supposed to be green." She looked flustered and went back to the kitchen, returned with salsa verde and let us keep the other on the house. Both were OK in flavor, very minimal spice factor. My husband ordered the classic margarita, and said it was "OK," except too sweet. He had the adobo burrito for his main. I ordered the holy mole chicken enchilada. My husband asked for jalapenos to be put in his burrito. Two major problems here - one, they charge $4 for jalapenos (which are pickled) and they said they couldn't put them in the burrito because the burritos are "pre-made." Seriously, it takes about 40 seconds to make a burrito. Why are they pre-made? We waited what I considered to be an exorbitant amount of time for our food to be served (especially since we were the only patrons). I'm guessing it was 25-30 minutes. It was long enough that I started eating the salsa out of the bowl because I was still hungry after the chips. Also, if the burrito was pre-made, how long can it really take?! I'm not sure if it was a kitchen issue, a server issue or both. When the food finally arrived, we discovered that the burrito was fried. Fried? Has anyone here ever had a burrito before? The chicken enchilada was a good portion, served over rice. However, the mole sauce was weirdly sweet and the dish was nothing to write home about. My son had nacho chiquito from the kid's menu. It consisted of corn chips on a plate, served with a small bowl of beef with cheese sprinkled on top. It was to be served with ice cream for dessert. It took over 10 minutes for the ice cream to come out after our server asked if we still wanted it. Try telling a little kid you're not going to wait for his ice cream... he got all cranky. When it did come out, it was so frozen that you could barely get a spoon into it. Overall, I came ready for Mexican and just about anything would have scratched that itch, but this fell short on so many levels. There aren't too many places for Mexican food in Hamilton, so it's disappointing that this one was so bad. Maybe you'll have better luck with some of the other mains, but probably you're best bet is to drink heavily and pretend that you've never had Mexican food before.

The meals are about $20 so be prepared to spend some money. But the meals were worth it! We ordered some chips and salsa to start and the salsa was really good! The waitress brought us a second serving of the salsa because we finished the first one before the food came. My husband and I planned to order 2 meals and split them. It worked out perfectly because both meals we ordered came with 2 large tacos. One dish was the fish tacos of the day: a lightly breaded cod-like fish. The other dish was the duck tacos. Both were delicious but the duck dish was a little more unique in flavor so we both preferred that dish. The restaurant quickly filled up around 7:30 so I guess it's good to come early to this restaurant! It is quite small so if it is full you may have awhile to wait. But it will be worth it! We would definitely come back here again although we only had one more night here so we will probably try something else. But enjoy!

In addition, we had to ask for wait staff instead of being served directly, and no one asked about the meals etc. We ordered a starter and a main. Our mains arrived well before our starter (about 15 minutes). Once the food arrived it was disproportionately small compared to the price paid, and we opted to cancel the starter we had ordered. The door was open with no heater inside in the middle of winter. This is the LAST time we let Jack pick the restaurant. Disappointed.
