Best vegan burritos � in Auckland!��
The ever faithful lunch burrito will satisfy your hunger pangs. Been to this spot too many times to count over the years. The lamb burrito was always my go to and they are surprisingly large. Guac is a must.
Only came here because there was a buy one get one free deal. It was absolutely delicious and the service size was big. Service was great and quick. The only negative about the place is the price. I wouldn’t pay full price for what I ate despite it being good. Way too expensive.
DELICIOUS!!! Love the burritos so so much! Burritos contain so much variety e.g corn, rice, meat, sauce, salsa, onion, coriander 🤤 Defs will go back however pricing is not cheap.
My go to healthy place. I have been going here for the past year and it never failed me. Service-wise depends on who is at the counter but overall good. I always get the lamb classic bowl and I love it. This is still better than Pita Pit so I hope I see Zambrero more outside the city.
Competitively priced Mexican fast food place with fresh ingredients. Tried their Power Bowl with extra avocado and it was really filling and tasty and healthy. Next time around I wouldn't add the avocado as you get a very small dollop for extra $2. Otherwise totally worth a visit.
Finally made it to this place after recommendations... Delish Black Rice bowl which they even did half serve of the black rice as I'm trying to keep it low carb!(now that's service)
Had it with the Chicken adobo which I fell in love with... Reminiscent of the real thing from the Philippines! Great healthy and tasty meal! Wish we had one in Newmarket!
Amazing tacos!!!! From the crunch to the meat it was perfect! Highly recommend getting two sauces as the garlic and basilio go very well together. I've been several times since.
Had grumblings about the portion of beans & guac in my bowl until learning that Zambrero is like the Toms of fast food eateries.
Like the shoe company, Zambrero donates a portion of its profits to humanitarian projects.
Zambrero serves fast Mexican food with a humanitarian bent. The founder, who sounds like an incredible guy, has set up aid projects in Sri Lanka and is also a qualified medical professional. NBD.
Maybe that's why the food is quite health-conscious and has a Desi touch.
'Super food' grains like amaranth and black rice are on offer. And the Secret BBQ sauce tastes like a deliciously tangy, spicy, South Asian chutney.
I felt really good eating this lunch -reminded me that complaining how little guac there is in my burrito bowl is a #firstworldproblem.
A friend brought me here for lunch, and it was a neat twist on fast food. It's a bit like subway, but a tex-mex version of it. I got a small burrito (which has a proper name but I can't remember it exactly) with beef in it. I liked being able to customise it to my specifications, and the additions of guacamole and salsa was delicious. I accidentally managed to pick the hottest sauce, but powered through and it was yum!
Not sure what was here before Zambrero, seems like every time I walk down Elliot St some new place is there and a couple of old ones are gone. Of course pleasantly surprised that a funky Mexican place has managed to sneak in, and I remember these guys from Britomart or somewhere. They are a fresher version of Mexicali done right and all the menu options looked good. I went for the healthy bowl and even though the chicken mixture looked odd, the whole ensemble was delicious. Def great quick lunch spot for us roving hungry amateur diners.
Came with a few friends for lunch on Sunday after all the other healthy options we initially went to were closed that day. But we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of food and service here. The staff tried very hard to accommodate for my friend who is vegan and doesn't like onions. After she found out he didn't want guacamole she offered him plain avocado. I have been to a few Mexican places in town but Zambrero is reasonably priced and the options are quite broad and look quite healthy. Would recommend.
I would say that Zambrero has some of the best burritos in Auckland, price wise and taste wise. Not only that, but the staff are very friendly and charismatic which is a definite plus! I go here at least once a week and it's guilt free because every meal I purchase helps someone in need!
I love Zambrero. Their food make what I would consider the healthiest Mexican food in NZ. They use fresh ingredients daily and make your burrito to serve. The quality of their food is to the highest standard where you get to customise your meal.
I come here so often that I've tried everything and know what I prefer best on the menu, but everything is great.
The staff are friendly and charismatic, making conversation with me when they really don't have to. They're so engaging and efficient.
I always order either the Burrito or Burrito Bowl with pulled pork, all the salad, sour cream and guacamole; with Red Chilli and Chipotle Sauce. Their burritos are warm, juicy, flavoursome and just make me so happy.
You get so much value for money and their have a great CSR system with money going to feed children in developing countries from every purchase.
The atmosphere is so chill and urban here.
I had their pork burrito before. Their pork was juice and tasty. Tasted fresh.
As the size of the burrito was so big, I ordered the lamb burrito bowl. The braised lamb was nice and the salad was as fresh as always.
Zambrero probably is the best burrito I have in Auckland.
The price is reasonable, cheaper than other burrito/ Mexican chains.
Who knew Mexican food could be healthy? With three branches in the Auckland CBD – Karangahape Road, Elliott Street and Durham Street West, Zambrero is on a mission to change Mexican fast food, one plate at a time...
...by serving Mexican with a healthier, fresher twist. I have found their entire range of slow-cooked meat fillings to be tasty (yes, I have been here a few times now). I will complain about the small portions though – a burrito bowl is basically greens with a morsel of meat and some rice. Their burritos are much more filling. The interior is quite nice and the staff is super friendly.
Like any other place in the city, the Guacamole is $2 extra. I swear one of these days I am going to open a restaurant that sells curry and charge people extra for the rice...
the burritos were amazing and I am definitely going back there.
Staff were super nice and helpful.
It is a bit on the pricey side so you wouldn't have it every day.
I really like that this is a business with a conscience.
I highly recommend the burritos they are just delicious
Update - I took a friend here on Sunday, after months of talking it up about how amazing the burritos were. Murphy's law I guess, it was the worst I have ever had from there. Perhaps they have different staff on during weeks I don't know but I was very disappointed (and a little embarrassed after constantly gushing over zambrero in the past)
I have according changed my review from a 5 to a 4
Nice burritos! Fresh ingridience, full of spicies, tortilla is so soft, chicken is so yum. they are much better than other mexicans i would say.
The food was good, affordable and very filling. The staff was nice and friendly.
Lovely female staff friendly. Very tight and hip store. Good food as always
Liked your vegan option. Tasty and colorful. Warm staff. Keep it up!!
Very clean and tidy, friendly staff and delicious food. Really impressed that everything on their menu can be made vegetarian or vegan on request. Also liked that they used biodegradable packaging instead of plastic.

I go here at least once a week for their nachos, am obsessed with it. Best nachos in Auckland as far as am concerned. I really haven’t tried other things on the menu but I once tried their burrito and I wasn’t really a fan.
Food excellent, service great too, only improvement thats springs to mind is they should have better stock control on the drinks now and again they run out of some of them. however I highly recommend these guys!
Their lime and coriander sauce was delicious, but they need to get better beverage options such as Phoenix 0 Cola or Stivia Coke.
Great service. The lady that served us was friendly and patient. Would come back again when back in Auckland. Great food too.
We've been in Zambrero many times and we love it. It's relatively cheap and very tasty.
Love this place! Friendly stuff, a little slow service, but delicious food!
Tasty and fresh. Good place for a quick fresh lunch. Staff also friendly.
