    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!)

    I came here on a Saturday with a friend for her birthday. We are both from California and really…read moremiss good Mexican food, and we'd heard that this place was pretty good. Walking in to this restaurant reminded me of walking in to a Chevy's - it's a similar atmosphere. They have a menu that is filled with half drinks and half food. I ordered a classic margarita and a veggie burrito without cheese and without sour cream (I'm vegan). They were really accommodating on my order and it all came out correctly. My friend ordered the veggie fajitas and hers looked so good. My boyfriend, who was with us, ordered a chicken quesadilla, and he liked it. We had asked for chips and salsa when we ordered, but the waiter forgot to bring them out until after our food. The food came out super quick, so it wasn't a problem. When I ate one of the chips, I realized we were not in California any more. They tasted like packaged chips and the salsa tasted like Pace salsa. Not quite what I'm used to, but after some travel abroad I've come to realize that we are spoiled for Mexican food in California. The drinks were mediocre. I could barely taste alcohol in mine, which was surprising as I rarely drink hard alcohol so I thought I would be able to taste it right away. Maybe I'm just used to strong drinks ;) I wasn't particularly impressed with anything about this place but I was very happy to be in a Mexican restaurant that offered burritos and real Mexican food. The food came out as we ordered it and the burrito was good. I ate the whole thing! All in all, it wasn't a particularly memorable experience, but the food was good and came out quick.

    Located at the beautiful Mission Bay this place is great! It's always busy especially when the…read moreMariachi (Mexican band) are playing live music. They have a huge range of very delicious drinks, and if you go there a tip for the girls order the El Torero margarita :P (picture below) Their $16 nachos are huge but not so much the best I've had, they add too much jalapenos in my opinion but everyone has their own different taste buds. If you like spicy then it's definitely for you! ;) As for my favourite dish it's the Eye Fillet with sweet (Kumra) potatoe and salsa from the Grill Menu. The atmosphere is amazing! They have amazing lizards in a tank which is a must see, especially when they wear lil sombrero hats! And if you have children they will let them hold the lizards, very cute! Hahaha! Speaking of sombreros they have a variety of beautifully designed sombreros which they let you to wear, just don't be afraid to ask the staff if they could give them to you. They're very fun and awesome for photos! Makes the atmosphere even better :D Only critique that I do have is that due to how overly busy they are, and always trying to fit everyone in, it feels like a rush to eat and leave. Especially during night times. The last time me and my boyfriend went there, we didn't even finish our meals and they took our plates away in such a rush that it was quite surprising. It all happened so quickly neither of us had the time to act. It was disapointing because the meal was so delicious we didn't have time to enjoy it or finish it :( But definitely try it out, and before you go make sure you make a booking otherwise it will get chaotic!

    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.
