    Chorizo frijoles, Mexican fried chicken, fish taco!
    Warren B.

    If you're after an eating experience, then come to Mexico. The ambience is spot on: rustic and dark. The Tequila selection is superb (if somewhat pricey), and the food is fun, and made to share. Definitely a modern take on Mexican cuisine, but nonetheless tasty and fun to share (small serving sizes encourage many plates). The Mexican fried chicken is a must.

    I've been to Mexico a few times and have always enjoyed it. The atmosphere is great and I love the thought put into it from the deco to the uniforms. Only recommendation is to make the portions a little bigger. Top choice is the fried chicken and sangria! YUM!

    Being visitors to Hamilton we had no idea of the best or worst restaurants to have lunch in. After…read morewandering around for a short while we cam across this place. It looked clean and tidy, had outdoor seating, and the menu seemed appealing. Just what we wanted for a nice spring day. I chose the Quesadilla De Hongos, and my wife had Tacos De Carne. We both enjoyed our meals and was suitable full afterwards. The staff were attentive without being imposing. The only shame is that there is not a local branch in Pukekohe, yet !!!!

    I've been here twice, including today for lunch. 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.

    Craft is a new restaurant on Hood Street, recently opened in the last few months by the same folks…read morethat brought us Gothenberg. It's actually located in the old Gothenberg spot on Hood Street. When you walk in, you notice the same sense of style and aethetics that make Gothenberg so pleasant and enjoyable. Craft specializes in pizzas, sliders and beer. Now, the sign out front does actually say that, but if you are looking for something OTHER than those things, then move on. The menu is somewhat limited in that respect. However, in terms of the variety and quality of the pizza and sliders, you won't be left wanting. I came here without the kiddos and with my husband and in-laws, who were visiting from the States. My husband was very happy with the beer selection (I was the driver none for me that night). Though the food is pizza and burgers, you definitely are getting the upper-end version of these items (not typical pub-type fare). The flavor palate is interesting and tasty (and if you ever had the sliders at Gothenburg, you'd have a sense of what is on offer at Craft). The servers were great and friendly. It's wasn't too busy, but it was a Wednesday night. They have some lounge type indoor seating, and some "social" types of seating (e.g. long, high top tables, a high-top counter along the wall) and may well get crowded on a busier night. They have also maintained some of the outdoor seating that was there from Gothenburg as well. All in all, I'll be back again on a future date night. They might be perfectly happy to have your children there, but I don't intend to find out :)

    So happy with the meal and service we received tonight at Craft. The waiter was absolutely lovely…read moreand accommodating, even going the extra mile to fix the leg of our table as it was slightly off and wobbly. Steak was cooked amazing and couldn't get enough of the potatoes with cheese and sour cream. Left feeling very full and satisfied. Will definitely be back.

    I've been here twice now and both times, under different circumstances, I loved it…read more Came here a few months ago with my new moms coffee group on a weekday morning at 10:30. It was packed! I was surprised, given its location, but after having the coffee and food, I totally understand. There is plenty of seating, both indoors and out, depending on how you're feeling. I'd say stay indoors (on a sunny day), if you need to avoid the sun or the little kids. If you are bringing your little kids, then outdoors is the place to be. Came with the family today (Sunday), because I really wanted my husband and older son to check it out. My son (3-years-old) had a blast! There is a large outside play area (at least, for a cafe), including a boat, an airplane, a train, a tractor, a few slides, a couple tunnels, a trampoline, a play house and a couple of swings. Some of the stuff is probably geared toward the slightly older child (under 12), but there is a small slide and toddler swing for the smaller set. This place is the perfect haven for parents with small kids. The food and coffee are fantastic, and you can let the little one run around outside getting out their natural energy that you're so trying to replicate by getting your caffeine on here. We had our usual, flat whites with vanilla. My husband and I each had one, and he actually ordered another. I've never seen him do this before. The water for the table was served in little old-fashioned, glass milk bottles. The water had fresh strawberries, lemon slices and lime slices in it. So light and refreshing and just perfect for the warm morning. We also had some breakfast. They do have a kids menu, though at this particular time, we didn't order from it since our son had eaten at home. I ordered the chia seed pot because it sounded interesting. I'd never had chia seeds before, so I can't really compare it to anything, but it was delicious! The bowl was beautifully presented, with almond milk, coconut shreds, strawberries, raspberries, almonds, creme freche and edible blooms (see my picture). My husband went more simply, just the scrambled eggs on ciabatta. They were pretty damn good eggs. It's so gratifying to have scrambled eggs done well. We arrived at 9:15 and had our pick of outside tables by the play area, but by the time we left at 10:00, it was pretty full. So, get there early for good outside seating. There are some shaded areas but some in full sun. Though, they thoughtfully have some self-serve sunscreen outside to use.

    Haven't been here often as have always been disappointed but was taking Dad to the airport early so…read morethought would give it another go Mistake. Worst flavour coffee in the Waikato it is so bland it's not the barista food is over priced but tasty but the staff are excellent
