Has been my go to wine & ceviche spot since they opened. Edmundo has impeccable taste in wine selections. I have never left with a bad bottle of wine.
If you’re also keen to try some mezcal, this is the place. There’s also an option to buy mezcal which is an added bonus.
This is the place! The BEST tacos, mezcal and an amazing wine list. The atmosphere is warm, the team are friendly and knowledgeable and will always have a chat. I want to go back from just thinking about it…
I had surprisingly high quality food and wine! Everything was so perfect.
And this place has a nice chilling vibe. Would definitely recommend to my friends
Possibly the best food I ate in New Zealand, and that's saying something. We had a few tapas - the guacamole with pumpkin seeds, the ceviche, and the guanciale with courgettes. They were next-level out-of-this-world. Topped it off with a few fine/rare mezcals (Lost Explorer, 12 year). Had to come back again to try the tacos... and just wow. Eat here, you won't regret it... you might even still be thinking about it a month later and writing a review on Google.
We are so grateful to Angela and the team at La Fuente. We had a birthday party here recently, with about 25 guests, and La Fuente really helped us out with a great space, delicious food, and wines, beers and cocktails to keep everybody happy. We are so glad we chose La Fuente for this event. Highly recommended!
Awesome place if you want to have a great chat with your friends while having a lovely wine or Mescal 😄
Such a nice place to chill😎
the wine and mezcal selection is amazing! Edmundos hospitality is great, he truly creates an amzzing element to his venue.
Cant wait to come back! 😌
Excellent wine list. Mezcal served neat (no cocktails or mixers) but so impressed by the bespoke service. Keen to try the food.
Fantastic small place with authentic food and a cracking drinks list.
Staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgable.
Highly recommend the Smokey margaritas and the skin contact wine.
Delicious food and drinks! I love coming here! Cool place to sit and lovely service.
Excellent service and wine knowledge. I can’t remember what food we had but it was really delicious; especially the plate with the wine pictured. I hope this place survives in this dog-eat-dog world!
Why did nobody tell me about this place before? OMFG amazing. 10 stars. I was so busy having a good time I only got one picture and the food is already smashed, but the mushroom and meat thing was soooo delicious. See I didn’t even pay attention to the menu, I just ate what came out and died happy. The owner, Edwardo (sp?) is an absolute epic legend of a man, his recommendations were impeccable so if you come here just ask him to take you on a magical mystery tour. You won’t regret it. Special mention to Harri who served our table, you rock.
Can’t wait to come back.
Could not have possibly asked for more from La Fuente and Edmundo. Loved that there was no drinks menu and you had to find out about the mezcal from having a conversation, and Edmundo sharing his stories and opinions on the mezcal was such a pleasure. Beautiful wee bar and an impressive amount of wines and mezcals. Mezcal negroni was fantastic and the food menu also looks great, I will for sure return when next in Auckland.
Amazing place! We went there for a birthday dinner and we were greeted and treated with the best care. All the staff are so accommodating especially Harry! She was giving us the best vibes and honestly made the experience worth while. Give Harry a raise!! She deserves it. Thank you La Fuente 😊
Fabulous little spot nested in the city center with authentic Mexican food. The owner/host Edmundo is energetic and knowledgeable on his home country's cuisine and mezcal. ¡Muchas gracias!
Quite literally the best guacamole I've ever eaten (and I love me some guacamole), and the rest of the menu is also on point. Paired with delicious mezcal & beer. Plus the staff are absolutely lovely.
Just happened on this place by chance and very glad that I did. Nice ambience, passionate owner and great food, along with mezcal and natural wines. Forget tequila, mezcal is where it’s at.
I had an amazing experience here. We told the owner we wanted to try and learn about mezcal and proceeded to have such a fun hour as she excitedly sat down with us and told us ALL about mezcal, and walked us through trying a variety of mezcals (side note - I tried one that jalapeño flavor notes)! It was so fun, a highlight of our trip! THANK YOU.
Delicious skin contact wines available. Fantastic mezcal margaritas. Relaxing bar in the early evenings.
