    I can't quite put my finger on it, but this is quite a different dining experience from Mexico at Britomart. The menu is ostensibly the same, the mexicali decor very similar, the waitresses wear the same floral headresses and the seating layout is similar too. Perhaps it's the addition of the terraced area and the proximity to The Commons and Takapuna Beach that give this place a different vibe. The food is delish just like in the city. I think this place has a more relaxed mid-week vibe, followed with a walk on the beach or a drink at The Commons, and I'd go to the slightly grungier Britomart for a Friday dinner before exploring the local nightlife.

    Casual, affordable dining in Takapuna, order as much or as little as you like. The menu changes often, but not so dramatically you want to race back. We ordered bbq pork and fish tacos and a quesadilla. You know what you're getting, there are no surprises. The hot, punchy, vibrant flavours just seem to be missing these days.

    Mexico margarita.

    Went last nite for drinks and dinner with a friend and was really surprised to see the place crowded on a Monday nite with constant turnover of customers. Went for the Mexico and coconut margaritas and their fried chicken for starters. We order d specials for the day which included a pork taco which was average. I never even got to taste the other mains as we went out for a smoke and when we returned the plate was taken away the waitress was sweet enough to give me another one but at that Time with two pitchers each of margaritas r had had enough. Really noisy place but prefer the branches at ponsonby and britomart for sure.

    Delicious quesadillas and tacos!

    This is a much loved spot of mine, I often come here with my boyfriend, but it is great for big groups also! For groups of 10 or more you can make reservations, otherwise it's a walk in kind of place. As a personal preference, I favour this location over their one in town, not too sure why I think it's just because it is larger and there is quite good parking around. One evening we went for dinner, and it was absolutely packed, an hour wait they said! However it was quite chilly outside so some of their outdoor seating was free, we said we would take that and they gave us these huge Mexican blankets which I thought was such a nice thing for them to offer! Their food is so so good and really reasonably priced! You can get a small taco for around $6 so I usually just get a few of those, at first it seems like not much food but it definitely fills me up! One time we placed the order and literally 3 minutes later some food arrived, it was so quick we said it couldn't be ours, but it was! I just couldn't believe it and was throughly impressed, they hadn't compromised on quality or taste either...big thumbs up Mexico!

    This restaurant is bigger than the Britomart one, which makes it easier to get in on a busy night, and also a bit better for larger groups.

    Blunderbuss Pizza + Vino - Polenta crisps with cumin aioli

    The inside of this establishment reminded me of the décor at Mexico though I still loved it and…read morethought it had a good feel. Blunderbuss was a little bit of a blunder on what I heard to be good pizza's. The duck was barely there as wasn't the leek and the only flavour was the caramlised red onion. A nice thin base but I just wish there was a little more topping for $20 and a bit more flavour. Thankfully although it was not my expectation to get it free, I just wanted them to acknowledge from my complaint that the pizza was below par, The Manager took it off the bill. On a good note the Polenta fries and aioli was perfect and tasty. The Holoumi was nice with the mushrooms and salsa verde. The service was great because it was quiet and the cocktails were good too. The Manager did tell me to come back and give them another go but considering I live on the other side of the bridge and have a few good pizza places over here I don't think I'll bother.

    Love a good pizza and Blunderbuss do it well. A fan of their thin crispy bases as well as lightness…read morewith cheese toppings. Bases are home-made and if you need it, they have gluten-free bases as well- wonderful. We got the Funghi Pesto which had mushrooms of course paired with pesto. More greens from the rocket with buffalo mozzarella and truffle oil- fancy! Also got their Quattro stagioni which had my fave proscuitto with more mushroom, olives and artichokes. Couldn't go past without getting some sides so got their moreish shoestring fries that came with porcini salt and aioli. We sat in the front with their leather wall couch and industrial metal chairs, right next to the floor to ceiling metal grate storage units. This made our own little cubby space and separate area from the more open dining space near the central outdoor patio. Beautifully displayed wholesale tomato cans, limoncello and other more practical goods stockpiled for an apocalypse. Had a similar theme with their drinks aisle on the way to the bar which makes for a good feature. Would love to come back in the evening to sit outdoors and do drinks or get a group together and hold down one of their long tables.
