Shout out to our server today Kal. Some of the best customer service I've ever had in mission bay. Absolutely above and beyond.
Went here last night for dinner & it was brilliant, had Mild buffalo wings & glad we didn’t go hotter. Highly recommend the Chicken, bacon & potato chowder. Hubby had Chilli con-carne. My 13yo has 1/2 rack ribs with chips. Staff were polite, professional, beer & cider choices were very refreshing & my sons cranberry juice was lovely. Well worth stopping & very glad we did for our first night in Auckland. Cheers & well done guys, hats off to ya from us Aussies!
Came here last night for the first time, exceptional service, incredible food - the best chicken fajitas i have eveeer had and the most amazing mojito cocktail i have ever had! Will definitely be back!!
Amazing food and service. Drinks and food was brought out efficiently by the friendly and helpful staff. Really generous sizing too, especially for the price.
Nice place with nice view, nachos are awesome, had mexican beer dos��, loved it
I've been eating and drinking at dos for over 6 years. Never have i had a bad experience. The customer service is great and the food is authentic and beautiful. It has an amazing family orientated feel and my kids love it. Thank you. Keep up the great work
Awesome food, very quick service and friendly waitress - highly recommended
Wish SA had such a Restaurant
So we were a group of four who headed here for lunch on Sunday afternoon.... Food was great, service was quick and efficient, friendly staff, great view facing the bay.. Lovely outing for our girl gang
Best Mexican food I have had in Auckland so far!
Service is amazing! Very attentive and active staff, warm and welcoming.
Food: Absolutely delicious! And generous portions!
We ordered the chicken nachos, pork ribs, buffalo wings and the brownie to end along with drinks. Every single dish was yummy!
Atmosphere: Lively and happy!
BEST PART: They are very serious about gluten free food. My partner is borderline celiac and none of the dishes gave him a reaction. Thank you Dos Amigos for that!
We shall definitely visit again!
I took my family for a dinner on Sat night. The place was not very big but nice and cute. Staff were friendly and service was good. We booked a table ahead so no worries finding a table for 9 people. Also live music was on and got them to sing HBD for me. We got to put the hats on too so it was fun for taking photos.
We ordered Taco salad (grilled chicken/beef), tequila lime chicken, chipotle prawns, veg chimichangas and kids meals. Chicken and prawns dishes were nice, my family liked them but grilled beef was bit tough. My veg chimichanga looked nice but was bland and needed some more salt as per my taste so I don't really like it.
The price was quite high but with Zomato Gold we saved a lot. I might go again and try other Veg dishes and see if any better.
Overall experience : 8.5/10
The server was awesome. And the food was really nice traditional Mexican food. We tried 3 cocktails sangria, pina collada and Margarita all were really nice. We loved it.
taste very good with professional staff. i always like coming here. much better than anywhere else.
Loved everything. Great ribs and nachos. Quesadillas cou li d be bigger portion but tastes great
Had an amazing time at Dos Amigos from booking the reservation with Sam who was absolutely fantastic and couldn’t offer more when we said we had our 8 year old with us certainly went the extra mile.
The food and atmosphere was perfect on a beautiful night with great music included. Next time we come we will definitely sit outside.
Congratulations to the manager and his amazing team best night out in awhile and will definitely be back. AAA++++
If you Love Mexican, this is the place guys..... You will feel that you are there!!!! Superb Variety with awesome service and on top of that, the location is perfect.... Highly Highly recommended!! Must visit and repeat destination for Mexican Food Lovers!!!! Must Try :- Nachos & Quesadillas!!!
Craved Mexican this evening and enjoyed an early dinner with my boys. Luckily we arrived early as we hadn’t booked and the place quickly filled up. Shared the grand nachos (beef) and each had chicken and beef tacos (2 each) - tasty and filling, despite the tacos arriving smaller than I expected. A few drinks including a Sol to help wash it down. Hadn’t been here in ages and the only downer was the windy weather so sitting outdoors wasn’t a goer. Will be back.
A family go to, especially in the summer! Always get the nachos, buffalo wings and if it’s a lovely day .. a sneaky Heineken. Haven’t yet tried anything else on the menu but ups to the chefs for leaving myself & my family satisfied - tough critics. Such a beautiful place located right across from the beach, with waiters who are all SO welcoming & attentive. Coming from a hospo background myself it’s nice walking in to new places with workers who make you feel at home. Partly why we come back !! All in all, thank you to the entire team for the amazing work. Keep it up 🤩
Buffalo Wings - 8/10 (personally prefer hotter)
Nachos - 8/10
Heineken - Can’t fault a good Heiney on a day like this!
See you all soon!!
Although their mains are a bit pricey, their lunch specials are SO GOOD!! Got myself the wrap and curly fries and my boyfriend got the Mexican burger and mannnn we are most definitely going again soon!!
Such a lovely place with friendly staff and great food. We had a chicken burrito and a quesadilla. Both yum, but the chicken burrito was the best I've tried in Auckland! It was massive, had so much flavour to it and came with lots of yummy sauce. We'll be back for sure.
Also, their bearded dragon Juanita stole my heart!!
The food was really good, was great to use zomato gold to get extra food. The chimichangas are heavenly 😍
Such good fresh food, they have the best ribs and the buffalo Wings are also amazing. Corn chips could’ve been better but minor issue. The cocktail is good and worth the price.
Great food and atmosphere we used our Zomato gold so super great value. Live music did make communicating difficult but was also nice as it added to the atmosphere. Had a delish meal and loved our meals will be back again soon
We had a hard time choosing what to eat, looking at the choices they had in their menu — we wanted to get, like, 4-5 off the list! We settled for the buffalo wings and the chicken enchilada (with a couple of beers, of course!), and loved it. We’ll definitely be back to try the hero version of the buffalo wings and the fajitas (maybe the nachos too!). The staff who attended to our table the latter part of our stay was a whole lot friendlier and attentive than the first one who got our order (and served) it. The couple beside us got some nachos and dip while waiting, plus choices of hotsauce and a bottle of water and glasses, while we got none of these.
Every time I'm at dos amigos I know I'm going to love every minute! Staff are excellent and food is great too! The atmosphere really adds to the experience. Favourite part is the hero sauce!
Got the chimichunga and nachos. Good portion sizes, nice presentation, service was great and atmosphere! Wish there was more flavour, acidity, saltiness, etc. if you like spice go for the green sauce and chelada with beer :)
Food was amazing we got the nachos , enchiladas and the beef tacos - we finished it in like 20 minutes - ambience is okay just a bit dark and service was good. They have a bearded dragon though in the restraunt!! Thats a plus lol.
The best Mexican style restaurant ever. Thanks to Zomato Gold that I can find this hidden gem! The ambience was always cosy and the waiters were super friendly, on top of the excellent quality of the food (I even came here twice in a week!). So far I had tried their ribs, chipotle prawn, and beef burrito. SO SO GOOD (and fresh, not too oily/fatty). I can’t decide which one was the best as they were all superb! Portion size was great too as they were just enough to satisfy me. Looking forward to come back again!
Very cool Mexican Place, located facing the beach so that you can have a conversation with your friends while looking out at the sea (or at least towards that side). The food is absolutely brilliant and they have a Zomato Gold affiliation at the time of this writing which made it a brilliant place to have lunch at.
Lovely, cosy atmosphere. Friendly staff. Food was quick to arrive, great portions and tasty. Nice place along Mission Bay to enjoy dinner or lunch. Would definitely recommend.
First of all big thanks and shout out to Luis. He made our visit totally worth. I used my gold privilege here (saved$28). We orders buffalo wings for starter- it was good, liked it. For mains we ordered chipotle prawns (it came with rice and beans) and tequila chicken. Both were yumm.
Bit disappointed with churros as they were slightly eggy (not sure if they are meant to be that way), but not complaining about it. will visit again for sure.
Have been to this place several times. Food looks appealing and has lots of flavours. Customer service is very good, friendly and polite staff who always make you feel welcome. Usually busy during lunch hours but dont have to wait long for your food. Had lunch there for my birthday and the staff gave me complimentary churros after my meal. Outside seating is nice as you can sit and look out towards the beach. Will be returning :)
We popped in here before the movies and it was very busy but we were still given a table. Great service. There was live music. The food was great. We had the chimichanga and burrito. Both dishes were amazing.
I came here with my partner for lunch on weekend and we ordered Fujitas 2 sets ( beef and snapper ) that were so huge portions 😁 We really enjoyed with the ambience ,the meals and staff was so friendly and so nice.
Portion sizes are great and food was delicious. we ordered the nachos, chimichanga & beef taco. The grande nachos can definitely be shared between 2 people. Service was also very friendly. Great place to come with friends
Really great food and ambiance with live music.
The nachos are enormous and the fajitas are also very much shareable between 2. Prices are a bit steep in relation to what Mexican food usually costs but this place has higher quality food as well. We also tried their classic and passion fruit margarita. I liked the classic better (not as sweet as the passion fruit one).
One of my all time fav places to eat! Good size portions, awesome food and drinks, great service and beautiful view! Kid friendly. Could have another partner restaurant in the North Shore too!
My partner and I come here all the time, sometimes more than once in a week and we absolutely love it.
They have amazing deals like buy one get one free on margarita Monday's, half price hot wings on Tuesday's and a few others throughout the week.
The staff are super friendly and the food is pretty great but we definitely come for the atmosphere. They do lotteria on Tuesday nights which is kind of like Mexican bingo. It's an absolute laugh and a half and it's just a great night, especially if you have a margarita in hand!
We usually get the hot wings but have tried a bunch of things on the menu and haven't been disappointed yet.
Definitely recommend coming here, beautiful view of the beach in mission bay too!
Excellent food. Extremely affordable. Incredible Service. Very helpful waiters/waitresses Great location. Excellent view. Highly recommended
Used zomato gold here. First time visitor. Had the chimichanga and the tequila chicken. Generous portion sizes and really tasty. Can’t fault at all. Would visit again.
Excellent food. Best Mexican in Auckland. Great Mexican atmosphere with live music often. Ordered the nachos and quesadillas head and shoulders above the other Mexican places.
Elegant Ambience.. lovely staff & welcoming!! Good food with authentic Mexican flavors
Not too noisy !! Great service ! We didn’t had to wait long for our food which was the best part :)
This place is cool and has a nice Mexican/Latin vibe. The tapas are very good and the combinations are very surprising (fish with black beans paste, etc). Had lots of fun with great live music.
Nice place for chill with friends at mission bay. Foods and drinks are both good. Service really friendly and polite！ environment is pretty nice too with the relaxed music.
Neat Mexican place with tables outside so that it can accommodate for dogs on leashes as well. Service was great, they came to check on us (including our dogs) regularly. I had the grilled chicken tacos (two for $20.00) and it was really good and just the right portion for me. The fajitas and nachos that we also ordered were massive. Prices are slightly more expensive than other Mexican places but the restaurant is located in Mission Bay. Highly recommended for diners with dogs (with leashes of course).
I have tried nachos from different places in Auckland but this place is definitely where I’ve had the best nachos. Great customer service, amazing vibes and good food. The food portions are great and the drinks are great as well
Came here once and ordered a chimichanga, best thing ever and would definitely go back. This review could have been a 5 star if they didn’t mistake my friends money thinking she hasn’t paid when she already did
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
We went here just before a movie so we had limited time and maybe didn't get the full experience, however, I still relatively impressed with the place.
It's nice and casual with an awesome summery vibe where you can sit outside and maybe spot some cool cars that cruise by. Because we had a movie to catch they sped up our order which was great, meaning that their service was excellent.
The food was so so, the nachos were average if we are being honest. They were quite basic and a bit cheap feeling. The tacos however, were delicious and catered for gluten intolerant individuals which was great! The tortillas themselves were a win (for a start they were corn which is much better than flour if you ask me) and they didn't break. The filling was good, maybe a tad inconsistent with the flavours with the first mouthful having a large hit of lime compared to the rest.
Overall, we definitely need to go back and maybe update this review. But, the food was good not great. The service was excellent, the price was fair and most importantly for a Mexican restaurant it was very relaxed and easy.
It’s a great spot in Mission Bay with nice food and alcohol. You can have a meal with the beach in view. The staff are super friendly and provide prompt service. I’ve never had a problem getting a table as their usually not too busy in my experience. The price gets a little up there though, but I guess you have to pay for location location location
Great Location. Great Service. Great Food. Ribs have always been a hit and never a miss as this place. Spicy dishes are a flavoursome spicy too and not just spicy for the heck of it. Lots of gluten free options.
Loved the nachos,full of flavour and excellent to share. Margaritas are very nice . Traditional Mexican flavours.Will be back to try more of the other food.

Favourite restaurant in Auckland, if not the world. Service is lacking at times and can sometimes take a while to get your food, but the food is always 10/10. Great atmosphere too.
This is my regular restaurant for an authentic Mexican fix! I love this place and will continue to come for its great atmosphere and delicious food!
I like how friendly and authentic the staff are. The fact that they speak Spanish adds to the ambiance. The interior gives you a feel of the cuisine so that’s a plus for people who are big on visual experience. The food was not too bad for Mexican. To be honest, it’s not easy to find great Mexican restos in NZ so this is a good go to place when craving. Overall, I would come back. Why not?
We ordered nachos to share, buffalo wings and quesadilla. The nachos was really a big serving, there were four us but we were not able to finish it. It was overloaded with toppings -- sour cream (mayo or I think), guacamole, olives, jalapeños and cheese. We enjoyed the chicken, which is mildly spicy. The quesadilla was served with a side of mexican red rice, some mashed red or black beans. It was all in all a decent meal.
we love this place. One of our favourite restaurants that we visit quiet often. The service is good . The place decorated really well and there are 2 little animals that’s in the back which is cool to look at and Kees the kids entertained. The pricing is reasonable. The taste is very good. The food we ordered for our child was so much food. But it’s nice the order includes a drink and dessert. Will Definitely continue to visit this restaurant.
Amazing place for a quick bite and amazing summer margaritas. In the pics chicken nachos and burrito with curley fries.
Pricewise: $50 for 2.
Returns: yes. Its a few of the good places at mission bay.
I absolutely love this place and have been going here for the past 4 years.
The staff and ambience is really good. The staff is very friendly.
Food-
Spicy queso bits- the flavour is really good. Crispy on the outside with a beautiful spicy cheesy mix in the middle bursting out.
Buffalo wings- had ordered the medium and the sauce was really good.
Blackened Prawns- the prawns were cooked to perfection and the spice mix is very well balanced and they serve the prawns with sour cream and guacamole which soothes the palate and pairs up very well with the spicy prawns.
Mocha flan- absolutely creamy, silky smooth dessert
And I absolutely love the strawberry margarita.
Amazing job!!! Definitely coming back here over n over again.

actually a great place where we can get all mexican beers and nice spanish food .the owners are very nice down to earth and simple. must recommend to those who loves rustic bars
Best mexican food experience ever! Finally we found a place where we can satisfy our mexican food cravings! They offer lunch specials that won’t break the bank. Their bbq ribs are a must try! We only ordered half rack but the serving was so generous! Worth coming back 👍🏼 see photo for the list of food we ordered. Btw, we had no left overs. That’s how we enjoyed every bite 😋
Dos Amigos offers very generous portions. I ordered the enchiladas and nachos. Both were cooked very well and very fulfilling. The entree nachos by itself is enough to fill you up. The service was also very positive as they ensured everyone got the food the requested. Very capable staff. I would definitely visit again.
This place is always bustling and has an amazing vibe at night. Food is delicious with complementary chips and salsa while you wait. Almost always go for the taco salad and the chicken quesadillas. A very unique restaurant with a lizard and the occasional mariachi if you’re lucky. Overall a decent Mexican option for a date or just a good night out.
I can never get enough of their nachos! I have been here for more than 5 times now, and no matter how much I want to try their order dishes as well, I end up ordering chicken nachos even though I feel it's little too high priced. But then serves the best nachos in town and their quantity amaze me!!
The ambience is nice, the staff is friendly and the service is quick. Overall, I would recommend you to go there and have their nachos, the next time you are in mission bay. :D
By far the best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to. I first went when they had just opened up and after that I was totally hooked. The owner lizard is such a good man and all the staff r wonderful. I highly recommend this place. Love love love the food 👌🏼
Best place to eat in summers specially when you sitting outside. Nice service n best nachos. Had really good time there. Will come back for sure
This place is definitely a great place for good service and ambience. The taste and the decoration of the food are quite catchy. Anyway, it is not recommended for cheese avoidance as most of the food that I’d ordered were creamy creamy with cream and cheese and avocado mashed :D
Will be there again!
This place is great if your looking for amazing food and friendly service. The food there is hearty especially after a dip at the beach, and their desserts just hits the spot that you wanted it to. I would definitely recommend coming to dine here as an experience, and if you get the el grande beef nachos, as in the picture below, it would easily feed two hangry diners like my partner and I ❤️.
We came to Dos Amigos on a Monday and were so surprised at how busy it was! We were seated and served promptly. The meals didn’t take too long to arrive and they were decent sized too. I got the quesadilla with a salad which took up an entire big plate. Two of my friends got the nachos and both couldn’t finish them! Leaving a dinner actually full is rare for me so I was stoked. The price isn’t too bad, especially for the size. We were slightly disappointed they didn’t offer us to see the desert menu though, especially because we had been on Zomato and looked at the menu so already had planned on ordering the churros! But that is my only negative I can say for the whole night which is great! If I’m in the area I will be back and definitely recommend it to those who want a decently sized and priced Mexican meal.
My number 1 go-to place! My favourite dish is the Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese Salad. Perfection every single time 🤗👌
For the brave, try the HERO SAUCE l😉
The anticipation! We finally made it to Dos Amigos. However we were a trifle disappointed with the food. They WERE extremely busy on the Sunday night, with a short queue for a table, but still... The Partner ordered the enchiladas, wondering if one of each meat would be possible, but no. They were ok, separated from the other ingredients for the kitchens convenience (speed was of the essence), which made for a rather dissatisfying dish as a whole. My quesadillas had flavoursome beef but were very light on cheese, with an ordinary iceberg salad on the side. I’ve had far better. The staff were exceptionally efficient and charming.
We have been to Dos Amigos a number of times during special occasions. They have never let us down especially with ambience food & service. We will come back soon.
Had a great meal tonight, New Years Eve. We ordered drinks which arrived promptly, a jug of the Classic Margaritas. Icy cold and oh so drinkable. We ordered
Mains: Lime & Tequila Chicken very tasty and quite spicy and the Fish of the day. Surprisingly the meals arrived promptly and were both beautifully cooked and tasty. Dessert was yummy : Churros so light and crisp and.the choc chilli brownie. Service was prompt and efficient. I rate both the food and the service highly. No complaints at all. I would eat here again.
A well set out Mexican place. Ordered a quesadilla, wasn't a big fan of black beans so they were left untouched, quesadilla was good, dipped it into the really well seasoned guac and sour cream. I had a bite of the burger wrapped in a tortilla and it was quite nice as well.
Didn't try anything else as we weren't that hungry hungry so I wouldn't give it more than a 3.5 until I've tried their other options maybe.
Good place though, will try it out again soon.

First time trying Mexican food and I gotta say....very delicious. Gonna have to bring my hubby to this place. Kids were happy to see the churros.Highly recommended.
Consistently excellent. I get genuinely excited about going to eat here. My absolute favourites are the Fish Fajita (blackened) and Pina Colada. The serving sizes are really big, so much so that I will avoid having a big lunch if we're going here for dinner. Make sure you try their awesome hot sauces. The hottest one makes me hiccup, which is slightly embarrassing, but I can't resist because it's so damn flavorful. We took a mate and his partner here recently and they too were thoroughly impressed. Can't rate this place high enough.
Side note - I read another review by a person complaining about the booth by the kitchen being "isolated and uncomfortable", what an absolute diva, that table is right next to the reptile enclosure (definite perk) and the booth seats are really comfortable.
Will be back soon, stay awesome Dos Amigos.
Yummy food... Both chicken and bean dishes.
Enjoyed lunch and would like to come back again.
Thanks for a cheerful service.
Over all a good experience.
Always a favourite down in mission bay. Always reliable on their food quality and taste. Their Passionfruit margaritas are to die for! The only downfall is the price, but honestly that doesn't matter too much, just not 100% wallet friendly. But very happy customers every time we come!
Always my favourite place to go out for dinner in mission bay! The vibe of the place is nice, colourful and bustling. I like sitting outside on the bar stools with the heaters. Favourite meal I order is the chipotle prawns, so good! You want to make sure you have a big appetite when you come here though as portions are big. A little on the more expensive side, but worth it for a treat of Mexican flavour!
I always love dining at Dos Amigos! Last night was especially good so I thought I'd post a review. To start, the woman waiting our table was attentive and had a great sense of humour, which made the night very enjoyable as the drinks kept flowing and we didn't feel ignored. Shortly after we had ordered our entrees they came out and we were really surprised at the efficiency because the restaurant was so busy. Then not long after that the mains arrived to the table. Everyone loved the portion size and a lot of us couldn't finish as it was so generous, no one was left hungry. The staff were kind enough to offer our birthday girl a complimentary churro, even though they had let us bring a cake into the restaurant, they even sang as they bought the desserts out. Overall I would still continue to recommend this restaurant to my family and friends, always great service and food and I never have anything to complain about.
Great ambience. Ordered Enchiladas which were just perfect, the filling was full of flavour and nicely spiced! Loved their traditional decor and service, staff that made you feel that you feel very comfortable!
By far the best Mexican in Auckland. Such a large variety for food and drinks, especially cocktails and tequila! Service is always great, location and atmosphere never disappoints. Will always come here for Mexican!
This is my best friend favourite restaurant. It's a regular when we want Mexican food. Love the margaritas and chimichanga. And the starters plate when we want to be fat. :)
We can't get enough of Dos Amigos. The staff are awesome - friendly and attentive. The margaritas are addictive. You can not go to Dos Amigos and not get the wings!!
One of a kind. You must have been here at least once if you visit Mission Bay often. I mean, the undeniable addictive smell of the dishes, fabulous drink menu, rhythmic music and laughter coming out from the establishment should be enough to draw any onlookers to check it out. I don't want to tell you more about this place, because it's time for you to meet your amigos there, and enjoy!
Pleased that they didn't have any surcharge today. Ordered Nachos (Entree size), Enchiladas, and a jug of Margaritas. Food was very nice, flavoursome, quite value for money. The only downside for sitting outside at the pavement is that not a lot of servers coming out to check whether we were ok or not, whether we wanted something else, etc. Actually, we didn't know where they were after taking our orders, taking our money, and delivering the food.
Planned visit to fulfill the urge of having buffalo wings. Their buffalo wings are exceptional with medium, hot and Hero category, Hero being super hot🔥... Served with blue cheese dip, carrots and celery it helps to cool down you palette.. Perfect, perfect, perfect..
Blackened prawns are a beauty. The taste is new, like it makes you think what kinda sauce are they using. Served with guacamole and barbeque sauce, prawns never tasted that good..❤
Beans dip is the usual corn nachos with black beans, goat cheese dip.. portions are large and serves perfectly as a side dish..👍🏼
Staff is super friendly, all speaking mexican. They had a small gig going on alongside that was an added entertainment.
Location and view is an added bonus
Love it. Love it. Love it.
Will take some pictures next time but this place is probably my favourite when it comes to having buffalo chicken 🍗 wings.
Served with blue cheese sauce & 🥕 carrots, this combination surprisingly goes very well.
I can have these buffalo wings every day! Other Menu items are tasty too.
Location and service is exceptional, hence a 5/5.
This place is pretty decent. Nothing really stands out as exception, hence the 3.5 rating though, I'd definitely go here again. The wait staff were all friendly. The food was good. There's a good range of indoor and outdoor seating. It's situated on the main street so it's a bit noisy but it's also lively because of being on a main street. Middle of the road of an experience but it's still enjoyable.
Great place . Friendly staff ad helpful.
We had a power cut on one side of restaurant.
The staff were still happy ad the food keeped comming out of the kitchen ad they had no lights.
Will done to the staff.😅😅.
The ribs are great.👌
This is our second visit and I remember being more impressed during my first visit.
The staff crew was amazing - very helpful and happy group. Food wise, the chicken burrito was great but the buffalo wings are on the tiny side. There wasn't much meat on the wings & drumsticks and the flavour could be stronger.
We ordered the platter to share during our first visit and we enjoyed that. Not sure if the standard is still the same though.
Overall a good place to hang out with friends and average to slightly above average in terms of food.
What an amazing place to be at for a night out! Good ambience along with the option of sitting outside, letting you enjoy the street and mission bay view.
Been a long time since I visited this place, not quite sure of the names but As far as i can recall i had the bloody maria and baja sea Mexican cocktails. Just loved the preparation style and the presentation.
Friendly staff along with timely service.
Hope to visit the place again sometime soon!
Loved the quirky vibe of this place! Waitors were friendly, kind and very prompt with service. Got the chimichanga (fried burrito) and it was AMAZING. The meal portion was huge and extremely filling. Only downside was place was very very busy for a Wednesday night, we probably should have booked. Will definitely return asap
I come here occasionally with my girlfriend (who loves mexican food). They definitely serve the best pork ribs that I have tried in Auckland. Dos Amigos also maintains a lively, fun atmosphere.
■ Lovely, fast service
■ Worth the value
■ Good lunch menu
This was my first time in Mission Bay! It's a really pretty setting with an array of shops and restaurants lined up by the beach and with the beautiful weather we were having today, Dos Amigos was a great place to start! The portion sizes are really good! We were served complimentary house chips with Salsa prior to our mains which also then arrived a few minutes later. So service was extremely prompt! The Chicken and Corn Chowder was light and tasty compared to the other dishes which were heavier and spicier.
I would definitely recommend the Spicy Buffalo dressing and blue feta cheese instead of the other dressing option if ordering the Chicken wrap. The meals are not very authentic but still tastes great and the highlight of the afternoon was probably getting to try on the Sombreros at the end. It added a nice touch to our experience.
Dos amigos serves amazing authentic Mexican food. We went there twice for dinner after strolling around mission bay. The place is always packed. We had nachos. Chimichangas, burritos, a tuna ceviche and buffalo wings. All was delicous ( escpecially the chimichangas) served in big portions and they gave us some nachos with salsa to start. Service was a bit slow and the waitress took years to hail down but it was understandable as the place was packed. Overall a very good place to get mexican food.
Friendly greeting when we walked in and given the option of seating. We happened to be seated opposite the terrarium with live lizards. The decor was tasteful with Mexican flair.
We came for lunch and they had a lunch menu which had selected items from the main menu (which was also available) with the option of adding a drink. Tried the Tequila lime chicken and it was really tasty. Plenty of rice and beans to make it a really filling meal. We also ordered nachos to share and that was tasty as well.
What was nice was that they allowed us to join an empty table to ours during the meal when other people arrived unexpectedly.
Nice food and service so worth a visit if you're up for Mexican.
We really enjoyed our lunch at Dos Amigos Cantina - the famous Mexican Cuisine Cafe in Mission Bay Auckland.
We started off with the appetizing Mexican Chili Hot Chocolate Drink.
For our lunch - we ordered Veracruz Chicken and Tequila Lime Chicken and both dishes were excellent - and - the Enchiladas were delicious too.
I loved the great atmosphere and friendly service.
The menu has a good selection of dishes and cocktails - especially Tequilas and Mexican Cocktails and Beers.
Dos Amigos Cantina is a"must visit" restaurant when you are in Mission Bay Auckland.
Dined here for lunch on Sunday with my sister, this is one of my sisters favourites & I have dined here a fair few times myself. The location is excellent right on the water front at Mission Bay, the vibe inside is awesome however it can be a little cramped especially if it's busy. The staff are friendly & attentive. Upon arrival you are given complimentary corn chips and salsa which is a nice touch, they are great to nibble on whilst you decide what to order. I decided on the chicken fajitas & my sister went with the nachos which were a lunch special. The food was served quickly & we thoroughly enjoyed our meals, the portions were massive & we both left very content. We didn't drink on this occasion however I have previously always enjoyed the sangria here & there is also an excellent cocktail menu.
Have only ever been on Magarita Monday- but for a Monday there sure is a great atmosphere!!! This place constantly pumps, and is one of the best places in mission bay.
I have been to Dos Amigos a couple of times and I must say I had the best churros ever! Every bite starts off with a crunch and the centre is very light and fluffy.
Additionally, I had a pleasant experience as well thanks to the excellent service provided by the happy waitresses (las amigas)!
Overall great food and service. Kudos for you guys, for sure I will be back for more! Arriba!
Love it here! Good ambiance and great food! The taco salad with chicken and fajitas are amazing! I've had my fair share of authentic Mexican food and Tex/Mex and this is the best I've found in Auckland. We brought a Texan here and he noted how it was on par with food back home, a great compliment! The ponchos provided for when you sit outside are a very nice touch as well.
Perfect. From the warm invite and menu description from the man at the entrance, to the meal itself. Service 5/5. Food 5/5. We ordered a chicken chimichanga, beef enchiladas, kids nachos and kids chicken fingers. All, amazing. All portions were huge including the kids ice cream sundaes. Highly recommend these guys!
Went here for dinner tonight with my niece and nephew. I ordered a passionfrut magarita and my niece and nephew had virgin magaritas (hint: go on Mondays and order magaritas! Well worth it!). We received complimentary salsa and corn chips, which went far too quickly. We ordered chicken chimichanga, chicken burrito and beef quesadilla. All the food was delicious with fresh flavours. The waiters were cheerful and helpful. Will be back to hopefully try dessert!
The customer service was lovely, they even brought out some water for our dog with a lemon wedge perched on the rim. The food was nice, especially the chicken quesadilla, and the wait time was short. We had an enjoyable time.
What a great place this is. Great food, great atmosphere and great service. We came here for lunch yesterday and ordered the El wrappo and the nachos. We were warmly greeted and received complimentary corn chips and salsa while we waited for our mains.
The ambience is great and the overlooking view of the beach is a bonus. I loved the combination of crispy chicken and the spicy buffalo/ blue cheese sauce. My partner reckoned it was too tangy but I loved it. The nachos had some great chunky beef pieces in it and tasted good. My only recommendation would be to put more salsa in it as it was a bit dry.
Definitely coming for more in the near future.
Dos Amigos is my favourite Mexican food restaurant. The staff are lovely, the amotsphere is great and the food is beyond excellent. I love the chicken nachos, their range of quesadillas and their ribs (for those days where you want to get your hands dirty). The cocktails are super amazing too. I'll go back time and time again to Dos Amigos :)
Was greeted nicely with big smiles, loved the Mexican feel to the place. We ordered nachos which was of a good portion & quesadilla which was tasty. The food here is great.
I liked the sitting arrangements as well. It has a bar also.
Good food, good service with good setting
Got the chicken and corn chowder & it was delicious. It was rich, creamy & had nachos & sour cream mixed in the chowder that I could distinctly taste. I licked the bowl clean. Highly recommend this dish.
This is a great place to have fun, eat well and party like if you were in Mexico. Awesome tequilas and lots of really spicy salsas if you dare to try!
I have been coming here for years and I've never had a bad meal. The lunch specials are great and what I love the most is the team that works here, always so welcoming including the dragons. Must try the buffalo wings 👌
Good food, good ambience. We went there recently on a Saturday night. It was pretty busy. The good was good. There was a bit of wait between the mains and Entree which was quite obvious as the restuarant was busy. I expected more from the buffalo wings- they were spicy bt chicken was not too juicy. chicken didnt looked too fresh either. Main was Good, big portion, but the presentation could have been better. Quantity for Jug was not too impressive either.
I came here for lunch one Saturday with family (there were four of us) and we were seated straight away.
Food was great, you can taste how fresh all the ingredients were and was definitely worth the $$ spent.
The service was great, the lady who Tok our orders was friendly and recommended a few dishes to us. The food came out really quickly and the lovely people who worked there kept checking to see if everything was to our liking.
Overall a great dining experience.
I have never had authentic Mexican food before, so this probably can be listed as the most authentic I have eaten till date. Lovely place along Mission Bay, facing the beach with a great view on a busy street. Nice simple interiors with great food and a brilliant separate lunch menu. I really like the roll I ate alongside the fries and apple cider that I had.
Been here a couple times now and never disappointed by their meals. I usually order the nachos (because to be honest im actually not a massive Mexican fan lol) and both time they've filled me up and have hardly been able to finish them. For a good price too. And of course awesome view at the waterfront. Love this spot!

I came here for dinner, after waiting a while to be seated we were set at the balcony and given menus. We ordered mint mojitos to start and were given complimentary chips and salsa. We then ordered curly fries which came with Chipotle aioli for an entree (not very Mexican, but the wait was long and we knew that would come out quickly). For mains I had the chicken chimichanga ($23) which came with rice and beans... for this price i was expecting a little more like a salad, but of course you had to pay extra. I only ate half of this meal because the cheese they used was too overpowering and the beans were just one flavour and bland, I think the rice was slightly underdone too? I did let the waitstaff know, but came back with a takeaway container.? My friend had the beef quesadilla which she said was good, and it came with a salad too ($27). Overall, I wasn't completely impressed with this place. It was average Mexican food and the wait staff were trying hard but found it difficult to keep up with the constant flux of customers. Next time hopefully it could be better? Considering this area only caters to dates and tourists, you don't expect it to exceed great standards.
My family have been here a couple times and the atmosphere is always great. We've had quite a few things on the menu, but if you like ribs, I would highly suggest them. The kumara wedges that go with are to die for! My vegetarian sister also loves going here because they can make almost everything vegetarian (probably not the ribs though 😜)
When you walk in your greeted with the traditional "Hola" by the staff....I once tried speaking in Spanish to a new staff and he stumbled....hehehehehe finally got one of their staff.
Excellent service and food! It has become a favorite weekly family tradition for us since we moved to Auckland.
Chef Louis is amazing. Lizard the owner is great.
Entree Platter and Fajitas is one of the best i have tried.
Keep up the good work!
My wife is basically in "amour" with the buffalo wings which makes me jealous sometimes.... :(
My daughter is LOCO about the chicken fingers. Love being able to practice my Spanish in Auckland!
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
We've been here many times now and it's always a hit when we're hungry! I love to sit in the booth behind the lizards as its a great private alcove, and of course you get to look at something slightly out of the ordinary while you dine :)
We started with the mixed entree platter consisting of Buffalo Wings, Quesadilla, corn chips, guacamole, blue cheese sauce, and sour cream. Wow that was almost a meal in itself!! Next up I ordered Chicken Chimichanga & my partner went Beef Enchiladas. As we often do we shared half/half anyway, Both were good but I preferred the Chimichanga. Could be that I'm not much of a beef fan, but to me the beef was a little salty & maybe overcooked.. It was a very rich meaty taste, which I guess would be great if you love meat! The refried beans were not the best I've had, but the meals overall were good and we will certainly return. No room at all for desert. The wine list here was not extensive, but then who goes to Mexico for the wine... If we weren't driving we would surely have gone for a margarita

Yes this was our first visit to enjoy tasty Mexican dinner on a mid summers day. Firstly the location is simply superb. The car park is just across, and our gratitude to a most gracious and courteous lady, who was most kind in permitting us to park (squeeze) our tiny car between two large ones so narrowly parked close by. Sauntering across to the table booked by us we were promptly welcomed & seated at a superb location facing the beach and enjoying the sights and sounds of Mexico, sorry Mission Bay on a busy weekend. It was that Mexican band playing live music which must have done that. We were promptly served our drinks & the Mojito is highly recommended apart from Sol beer. We relished the Buffalo wings and Blackened Prawns and the accompanying Guacamole and blue cheese dips are so well done, the celery and carrot sticks were good, ah the Hero sauce and the Jalapeño sauces are to be tried at your level of heat acceptance, yes, absolutely worth it. I needed extra serviettes to wipe the after effects of them sauces from my perspiring face, much to the merriment of the group. The atmosphere is just lovely & every one was enjoying their platters & nachos and do try their jug delights of er, ahem alcohol. The flavours of the food have certainly given me the desire to enjoy and explore even more of this cousine again. The staff were most helpful and looked after us ever so dutifully & in the most welcoming & friendly manner. We also managed to meet the 2 local celebrities- the star attractions viz. The Dragons! They are just lovely & friendly. Special mention to all the staff for their superb service and care, the food is highly recommended & I am certainly returning back for more gastronomy and of course, the cocktails! The musicians were so nice and talented and wear the most authentic clothes, you forget you are in Mission Bay, when you hear them play! A great experience and hope you enjoy your visit as much as I did. All in all a very enjoyable evening & a real delight to have experienced Mexican hospitality. Muchos Gracias!
Dinner at this restaurant last night, and shared two appetisers and three mains among us. The portion was large and we did not manage to finish them all. Personally I felt the Mexican dishes are delicious, and I love it from the first time I tried, especially the spicy dishes. I would recommend the buffalo wings, Bbq pork ribs and the spicy prawns. Yum yum ...
Came here for a birthday in a quite a large group, the staff were very friendly and attentive- loved the fun vibe of the place.
I had the ribs and they were amazing! Fell off the bone and just were beautiful seasoned. Price was decent as you also get a side of wedges and salad. Everyone else who got the ribs agreed, and the other all enjoyed their meals also. Would return for sure!

Really liked this place, the service was friendly and nice. The food was fresh, fulling, and soo yummy and not to mention a perfect place for insta photos ;)
Great mexican food on offer.
Simply loved the Entree of Buffalo Wings with Corn chips & quesadillas.
The mains was exquisite, Veracruz Chicken. Chicken Breast with Veracruz sauce was simply amazing.
I really love this place! The staff are super friendly, chirpy and always smiling.
We ordered the buffalo wings for entree, and they were quite spicy even for mild but they were sooooo tasty it was hard not to stop. One bad thing was the side of celery and carrot sticks -they looked quite dry and had been sitting out there for a while and I'm sure when I first dined here (like a few years ago 🙈), there were a lot more of them served. The blue cheese dressing is so good there's not enough celery and carrot sticks to dip it in!
They also serve a complimentary serving of nachos with salsa, and even that was nice! That salsa! 👌🏼
Our mains were super filling and very tasty. The special for that day was, it was buy one margarita and get one free! So that was too hard to pass up!
I reckon this is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Auckland. Good service and great food (and drinks) with an awesome view!
Been here many many times it is my favourite spot in mission bay for food or a social drink. Staff are all very friendly and the food and drinks are of the highest quality for a great price. Will definately be back.
Generous rating because of the friendly staff. We were served by a lovely blonde lady. The drinks took -what seemed like - forever to arrive, with the food arriving shortly after, which was odd. But the food was amazing and the margaritas were perfect.
Welcoming staff, even though it was a little bit too kitsch how much Mexican they spoke (when they clearly weren't!). The live band was great and added to an authentic atmosphere. The meal sizes were generous, if a little bland. Overall a nice restaurant.
Came on the off chance for rib night and couldnt fault it! The staff were really accomodating in finding us a seat as the place was full! The ribs were amazing and they were huge! Cannot fault for the price either! Will 100% be back again!
Had dinner here and ordered the Chicken Fajita which was delicious! I loved the build your own part of it. Their portions are HUGE and I'm not even exaggerating. Entree portions were also gigantic, we were all about full half way through our mains but that did not stop us because we're troopers! The service was also great and staff try to be as authentic as possible, greeting in spanish and wearing ponchos etc. i love their dragons - wish i could have had a meet and greet but it was obviously too cold for them to come out. Gracias! Will be back :)
This place has awsome service. Friend had a birthday here and all the staff sang a happy birthday song with us. In English and Spanish 😆. I'm not the biggest fan of Mexican food but it was good and not too over priced. Portion sizes were generous
Went here mid-week with a friend. We started with free corn chips and salsa -- nice -- and then ordered the spicy bites de queso which were crumbed and deep fried balls stuffed with cream cheese and jalapenos, served with very spicy roja sauce. Cost $13 and big enough to share. They were delicious but not for anyone who doesn't like things spicy. We followed with fatijas - me beef ($28) and my friend vegetarian ($26) These were substantial dishes and if are going to have an entree as well, probably only recommended for the very hungry. Tasty though.
The wait staff were very good and happy fitted in with a couple of changes we asked to be made to the menu to cater for my vegetarian friend.
It's a lively, noisy placed, especially as the table next to us were there for a Birthday dinner where the cake was served with Happy Birthday sung in Spanish complete with somberos and maraca.
A fun night.
Ok so if these pictures don't speak for themselves OPEN YOUR EYES . Having a blast here reminiscing on past summer memory's as I'm making new ones (it actually feels like it's summer here today!!) Amazing service from all the staff and the owners are super friendly and inviting hosts what a team here!!!! Food is great! Margaritas AWESOME! All is priced well and is fun to eat with friends and family, great people to meet and enjoy the vibes with, seriously though WOW!
Great location right on the main strip of Mission Bay, however parking never seems to be easy! Dos amigos menu features all of the traditional Mexican specialties for a reasonable price - considering the size of there portions. The food is good and we all enjoyed our dishes during our visit for dinner. My fav dish of the night was the Buffalo chicken salad.
Lots of nice mexican touches throughout the decor of the restaurant. The staff are friendly and fun! It's hard to not notice the pet dragons displayed by the counter, which add a lot of character to this place and are often brought out to interact with customers.
I just love the spicy buffalo wings (tuesday is 1/2 price) and the grande nachos is delicious!!! The $10 lunch deals are tasty too! My fav tex-mex in Auckland!!!!
Had a late lunch on Wednesday. There was a menu outside the restaurant which is handy. Service was lovely. The wait staff were friendly and prompt. We order the nachos to start and the burger and wrap and everything was yummy.
Reallly good experience.

Dos Amigos serve yummy Mexican food in the heart of Mission Bay. We decided to dine there for lunch on a Saturday afternoon after going for a lovely walk around the bays. It’s really easy to find but it can be hard to find a park sometimes.
The menu makes your mouth water and is packed with all of the traditional Mexican goodies. I ordered the chicken Enchiladas which were two corn tortillas rolled with chicken and topped with verde cheese and then baked and served with rice, beans and sour cream ($22). My friend ordered the nachos which were corn chips covered with beef, jalapenos, shaved onion, black olive and shreeded cheese and then grilled and topped with guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo ($16). The meal sizes were good, the ingredients were fresh but the meal wasn’t anything to rave about.
The staff were really warm and friendly and many of them spoke Spanish which made the experience more authentic. It’s not the best Mexican that I have eaten but it is a fantastic, casual Mexican restaurant to try in Mission Bay!
I meant to write a review a while back about your food truck at at the waterfront market downtown - my kids loved your tacos, and you were just really nice guys. Not sure I loved the tacos as much as the kids but that's not important - when we see you again we will be sure walk up and buy again as my little girl thought it was the yummiest thing around. Good job guys.
One of the best mexican food in town.. By the Mission Bay beach, this place is a cozy cafe that is busy at all times. The staff is very friendly and they are always happy to recommend the star dishes of theirs. Nachos are good, Lemon Chicken is just amazing. I tried their Mexican beer, as one of their staff recommended it to us; quite liked it and thought it was a better option to other mexican beers like Sol and Corona. A definite try for an average priced, authentic mexican food.

This place is very busy on a Saturday night! My partner and I took the last table for two, as we had not booked.
We ordered a beef quesadilla with beans, the taco salad with grilled chicken, and kumara wedges. The portions are incredibly generous - the kumara wedges were massive - one wedge was easily the size of a small kumara! The taco salad was great - full of flavour. I was slightly disappointed with the quesadilla (we are seasoned quesadilla eaters as we order that everywhere we go!) - the tortilla was slightly soggy, and the beans on the side tasted very dry and slightly card-board-y. That was the only thing we didn't finish!
I also ordered a sangria - it was fruity and delicious, but personally I don't think it was strong enough; and slightly pricy.
It's a cosy place to have dinner; the staff (who all speak Spanish) are incredibly friendly, and the live musician even played happy birthday for one party who were there.
Overall - would definitely go back. Great vibe, and our stomachs were happily stuffed by the end.
Popped in here for a catchup over dinner... Don't usually do Mexican but the food was very enjoyable... Blackened prawns were cooked very well... Salad fresh... Service was very good... Great place to come with family.
This Mexican food was amazing! I ordered the spicy chicken rice *i forgot the name* , buffalo chicken wings and as always nachos yummm! The service was great and the place so cozy! Recommended😊😊
This place is understatedly GOOD! We came here on a hens and we all ordered a make it your own burrito. It was awesome! I highly reccommend doing this as you get to pick exactly what you want and how much you like in it. The margaritas - Oh my word they are delicious!!!! We had the peach, watermelon and the classic - I cant tell you how much I loved them!!!! Music is loud and pumping the decor relaxed Mexican themed, thou slightly old and outdated. Mind you the foods so darn good, who cares about the decor. Must try with a group!
I like the cosy atmosphere here. The interior decor brings exotic flavour to customers. I had chipotle prowns and friends had burritos alike. The prowns taste quite jucy which is just to my liking，but I don't like the sprinkled cheese topped up on the black bean.
I also had a jug of fruit margarita，wow，lovely flavour with mango，a little bit pricy though.
Our fav casual dining restaurant. Their margaritas are the bomb! Beats any other Mexican dining by far. We always go for the shared platter. My review is a bit biased because we are regulars :)
The food was awesome. The staff were very friendly, great customer service. Great atmosphere. Will definitely recommend if you want great mexican food.
My partner and I are regulars at Dos Amigos, always very friendly staff and consistently good meals. Meal sizes are more than enough for one person and I'm always excited to try the next new thing on the menu! I'm a huge fan of the classic quesadillas, as well as the margaritas, although for the price of a cocktail jug it would be nice if they were a little bigger. Seeing bearded dragons Dora, Diego and Tijuana is always a highlight, although we're yet to get ourselves a photo op! Big props to the staff for their confidence in speaking Spanish to customers. It adds a whole new level of authenticity having both the native and non native speakers of Spanish engaging with us at this restaurant. Gracias amigos!
This was a spur of the moment Saturday night outing for us. Couldn't book in advance as phone kept going to voicemail. We were pleasantly surprised to get a seat, albeit side-by-side at a bench table.
Inattentive service but delicious food and drinks.
Love there taco salads. Full of flavour and fresh.
Have a great variety of drinks & great starters.
You get the best service on your birthday big hats and I got a couple free drinks on my birthday which was nice.
Great atmosphere and great customer service. Not overpriced like some other places. Good place to go for a casual night out with friends.

Fantastic Mexican food, great atmosphere and... Bearded Dragons! Very cool. I went here for lunch with a friend on Tuesday and I was really impressed by this place. I ordered the chicken burrito which came with a generous salad and guacamole. YUM!!! The burrito was huge and was filled with chicken, rice and beans. The burrito was delicious. The salad and guacamole were really fresh and tasty. My friend ordered the chicken enchiladas and she said she enjoyed her meal as well. Our only issue with the food was the mass of shredded chicken. Last time I had Mexican, the chicken was cut into smallish pieces rather than being shredded which I though was nicer. Shredded chicken looks like canned tuna and after a while, it starts to taste like it as well. However, the chicken was tasty and the tomato salsa helped give moisture to the dish. We were given complimentary corn chips and salsa before our meals arrived which I thought was a really nice touch. The service here is not overly smiley but our waitress was friendly enough and our meals were brought out fast. The décor is great and there are lots of Mexican touches here and there. I would definitely go back here, there is a lot more on the menu that I would like to try. This restaurant also has two reptile residents who keep an eye on things. I didn't get the chance to talk to them much this time but I hear they do interact with customers quite a lot; they give a certain edginess to the place :)
Me and my wife have been here for a couple of times. The atmosphere,ambiance and the view from the table are good. Not to mention the food,its wonderful...
My partner and me are loyal friends of Dos Amigos(pun intended) .its a great place with unique vibe ,very friendly atmosphere and good service.I have been pretty much in a every Mexican restaurant around Auckland as i am a hardcore fan of Mexican cuisine .so far dos amigos is unbeatable in terms of price /quality ratio and has big variety of tex-me and authentic Mexican stuff.my personal favourite is sizzling chicken fajitas with flour tortillas .my partner usually goes with burrito .portions are big and filling.and I don't remember chef ever being stingy on meat (thumbs up!).overall it's a great place with friendly staff ,perfect location and of course yummy food.very well done mr.Lizard I wish you and your team all the best!
Loved the virgin Margarita - very refreshing! If more than one of you having this, it pays to order a jug. The prawn entree was flavoursome especially if you enjoy spicy food . The entree Taco Salads are more than enough if you are not looking for big portions. The staff come across as friendly and very helpful. We also went for a walk to the next bay around from Mission Bay, and there are some nice looking restaurants/cafes which look very popular with the locals...so heading there next time, as a really nice quiet relaxing spot with the beach across the road without all the chaos and cars of Mission Bay...
We decided to come here for lunch in the weekend as I had a craving for buffalo wings and had heard that the ones here were good.
I ordered them as my meal (even though they are meant to be entree, but the size was fine for me as a lunch). The sauce covering the chicken was delicious - spicy ('hero' level of spice just means hot I think) and tangy. Definitely finger-licking good. However, I would've loved it if the wings were a bit crispier than they were. I also had the conga - a virgin margarita blended with mango. This was lovely and refreshing on a hot summer's day.
My husband ordered the chicken wrap and curly fries which was off there lunch menu. He enjoyed the wrap and the fries were lovely and crispy.
Overall, decent food, not too pricey and a nice atmosphere. Although if you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this is probably not the right place for you as the cuisine is a bit more American style.

Since I am just travelling in New Zealand, I can't afford to wait for more than one visit to a restaurant before I review it, so here I am, breaking my own principles. I had dinner with mi familia at Dos Amigos last night and I was so blown away, that I just HAD to write a review. So here are my notes, as always
The +'s:-
>THE FOOD: Literally, that is ALL you need to focus on here. Incredibly tasty Mexican Food. We had the 'Spicy bites de Queso' and 'Curly fries' as entrees, and both the Chicken and Vegetarian Chimichangas AND the Vegetarian Fajita as mains, the guava Jarrito, a cerveza, ginger beer and a couple mocktails - Conga and a Virgin Margarita - to drink, and Churros for dessert. Flawless. The Spicy Bites de Queso are a must have. Best. Entree. EVER. The Chipotle garlic aioli that comes with the Curly fries is quite refreshing. The portions of the mains are pretty huge, and everything was cooked with so much flavour and to perfection. That Chimichanga! Mmmm. Try a Mexican cerveza -which is basically beer- (I had the Tecata and loved it!) , or if you'd like something non-alcoholic, I'd recommend the Jarrito for people who can handle sweetened sodas, the Conga if you like coconut, and if all else fails, hit the Virgin Margarita!. Don't leave without eating Churros.
>The DECOR: Had it been a little hotter, I would have totally tricked myself into believing that I was sitting in a Cantina in Mexico. Really nicely done decor; lots of Mexican elements thrown in, crowded, tight and warm colors to complement.> THE STAFF: Warm, friendly, attentive, and polite. Our order was taken and served to perfection, all with that bright smile on the face. The waitress who served us was nice enough to get us the large, colourful Mexican sombreros so we could take pictures!> THE PETS: Dos Amigos has three very adorable and very cool Bearded Dragons in a glass cage, whom if you're lucky, you can meet and greet, and take pictures with. I got to meet the handsome 7-year old Diego, who not only posed with me, but also gave me his best big croaky smile.
The -'s:
I am stumped. I have zero negatives to share based on this visit
The ?'s:
> THE LOCATION: Bang in the heart of Auckland on Mission Bay, it's really easy to find this place (tucked in right next to Masala), but parking is such a pain, and so is getting a table. I recommend you make reservations in advance, park far away and walk to build your appetite.> THE AMBIENCE: You'll either love it, or hate it. I, fortunately loved it. It's loud, it's crowded, and it could fool me into believing I'm in a Cantina, for real. Tables are all real close to each other, so don't expect to get any privacy. Great to hang with friends and loud family!> THE WAIT TIME: The menu warns you that the food takes a while to come, and they aren't kidding about that. We spent close to 2.5 hours at the restaurant from start to finish. In a way this is a good thing; relax, digest and have a long lovely evening. Not the best place to eat if you have to be somewhere at a particular time.
And there you have it! My unbiased opinion of one of the best Mexican restaurants I have eaten at, also my first Zomato review in Auckland. I highly recommend Dos Amigos for a great evening out. P.S. : Order extra Sour Cream. It's just so so so delish!
Good food, good service, filling my tummy with yummy food, food lover new place always. Right next to mission bay beach AWSOME view with a beer in your hand
Dinner was great , really love the complimentary little bowl of corn chips with some Salsa, nice gesture . Nachos is amazing the big one will feed 2 which was great we shared it and Still had a doggy bag . Was great!
I have visited this place numerous times and always walked out pleased with the experience. The food and drink prices are very decent and potion sizes are large and filling. The service is also great and the environment of the place adds to the enjoyment.
amazing food, exotic atmosphere and the staff are truly the BEST! Celebrated my birthday there and was surprised by churros and chocolate sauce by the staff over there! Truly made it extra special!! buffalo wings and nachos are the best!!!
Faultless at my last visit. We were seated quickly as soon as we arrived, with clean tables, cutlery and menus. They have a $15 lunch menu and from that I ordered the Chicken Quesadilla. My friends ordered El Wrapo, and a vege burrito. My quesadilla was very filling and delicious, and my friends too enjoyed their meals.
The reason i gave Dos Amigos a perfect 5 is their impeccable service. All the staff were friendly and accomodating, making sure we had everything we needed and were satisfied. They even offered us sombreros and took pictures for us which was lovely. My friend has been here a few times and has raved about their service and food. Will definitely be back. Good on ya Dos Amigos.

A firm lover of Mexican food, I wasn't even going for lunch when I walked past Dos Amigo's, on a glorious Sunday afternoon, just glancing at the menu as I passed made me want to try everything though!
The kitchen wasn't open for another 15 minutes but the attentive waitress brought us some chips with an awesome fresh and simple salsa to tide us over while we waited for our coffee's.
I chose the Quesadilla Grande, I asked for this extra extra hot, as I know how mild the Kiwi's register on the Scoville scale, and my friend, a vegetarian ordered the Vege Burrito's, both well priced.
Out they came not much more than 10 minutes later accompanied by their homemade habanero sauce which was out of this world and definitely delivered on the "extra extra hot" request! This sauce is to die for, they should bottle it up and sell it ( if they don't already!) . There was something special about this sauce and I managed to convince the Manager to tell me it's secret ( well 2 of them) - honey and fresh mango! Forever more I will add both to my chilli sauces!
I will be back, I will try everything on the menu and I will find out all the secret ingredients of that amazing sauce !
Let's just put it this way- Dos Amigos Cantina is good quality Mexican food at a reasonable price. Not as authentic as I would have hoped for but I have been here many times, whether it's with friends, family or even large birthday groups. The waitresses are very friendly and patient, and the food arrives quickly. The atmosphere is original and warm.
I usually have the grande nachos which is a VERY big portion so I would only recommend it as a main or sharing entree. The chili con carne is just delicious, the flavours are strong and it's just great to wash down with a mocktail or cocktail.
Slightly pricey but really yum. Very authentic. Dining experience is great: authentic sombreros available, Mexican band, and little dragons wearing little sombreros!!
Wish I could do a 3 1/2 star as it deserves more than an average but not quite a 4* in my opinion.
That said, I would recommended Dos Amigos as good food at a reasonable price. Not the best Mexican food I've had but certainly quite acceptable, authentic and tasty. The coffee however was burnt. We went on a busy night and the service was a bit slow but the staff were friendly and helpful.
The Churros are definitely worth squeezing in on a full stomach.
Went there a few Sundays ago to meet up with a friend. Seating was easy - I'm a smoker so enjoyed sitting outside in the sun people watching. Bought a bucket of beer and relaxed into a yummy (and HUGE) plate of chicken nachos. Very tasty and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend it - especially on a lovely cruisy Sunday to wind down the weekend and brace for the new week.
Enjoyable experience,a friend and I had an early dinner on Sat 5th, shared a bucket of Sol (5) beers and ordered the grande Nachos (chicken) and full-rack of Ribs.
Tasty, filling and good service - great people watching spot on the bench seat looking out. The place quickly filled up and everyone seemed to be enjoying what they ordered - we would definitely drop in here again.
We came here on 6th Jan for my friend's 40th dinner surprise, we were a table of 8. I had read mixed reviews for this restaurant and being in the industry was a little hesitant, but I have to say that we had great service and lovely food. Our waiter Kieren was charming and most obliging, making sure everyone was happy with their orders and was forthcoming with recommendations. He also let the birthday girl hold one of the lizards (at her request), the staff on presentation of her dessert sang her a happy birthday in Mexican and it made her night. Drinks was buy on get one free, an added bonus. Our other waitress I think her name was Karen, was also very good. Highly recommend the spicy wings, generous portion and spicyness just right. Great food, awesome staff (Kieren) and a great atmosphere on a busy night, look forward to coming back.
MY wife and I went to Dos Amigos after saying we were going to go there for ages. We heard so many great things. We weren't disappointed. The food was tasty and very reasonably priced. The service was awesome with all the staff being really on to it and smiling all night long. We will definitely be back. Cheers
My whole family absolutely loves Dos Amigos! It's a great lively restaurant with a pumping atmosphere and people enjoying themselves. The drinks and food are fantastic and great service always! Meal portions are huge, so you're always getting your money's worth and meals are all well priced.
My wife and I are frequent patrons of Dos Amigos. We have introduced many friends to Lizard and his staff over the years, and they have all very much enjoyed the food, service, and excellent atmosphere. The food is excellent. If you are a fan of Mexican food, keep in mind that this is more Tex-Mex style than super authentic Mexican. That being said, it is one of the best Mexican-style restaurants in Auckland, and definitely worth trying out. If you are a fan of spicy food, make sure to request the Hero sauce with your order. I have a lot of experience with Mexican food (I'm American by birth) and my wife is Indian, so we both know what is expected of good spicy food. The Hero sauce has both heat and heaps of flavour, and is excellent on their wings. I am a loyal customer who will always be back for more. Gracias, El Lizardo, y toto el equipo de Dos Amigos!
Dos Amigos is a favorite restaurant of ours, we love the relaxed atmosphere and great service! We especially LOVE LOVE LOVE the Buffalo wings - (as authentic as you can get outside of USA) and frequently take advantage of the 2 for 1 wing special on a Tuesday. They also have amazing fajita's and the burritos are also delish! Having said that I never been disappointed by anything ive tried on the menu! If you are looking for some great food, amazing service, or just a quiet drink over looking mission bay check these guys out you wont be disappointed!
We come in frequently for their BBQ wings (entree) and Ribs (main) served on kumara fries. So yummy, filling and consistently good.
The staff are super helpful and friendly; we’re always greeted with a cheerful Hola!
It’s easy to make reservations and they accommodate as much as possible (especially when you bring along stragglers).
It's a lively, fun atmosphere. Definitely a place I’d take a group of people for a birthday etc. What makes Dos special is they truly make an effort to give you an enjoyable experience and be involved in your dining event. There are sombrero's around the place that you can wear and of course the lizards (maria maria?) to have a look at.
Plus you've got the best views around.
We'll be back again next week.
PS make sure you try one of their margarita's!

We had a terrific time here last night! We were particularly impressed with the friendly, excellent service.
My personal favourite flavour of the night was the guacamole. There was amazing flavour in there - the lemon, with the salt, and of course the creamy avocado, a hint of tomato. Very yum. We shared that with the entree of corn-chips. Also the bean entree was extremely tasty, with quite a creamy texture, delicious flavours, plenty of tasty onions and I think sour-cream.
For my main, I had the Quesadilla - which is the one that has a flat, folded tortilla filled with delicious sauteed vegetables, and of course melted cheese. On the side were red rice, beans, sour cream & guacamole. I have to say, it was really tremendous!
Here's the one thing I didn't like about the evening... underneath the tables there was something sticky! Too scared to look and see what was making my legs sticky... but my friend next to me had the same problem! (We were sat on the bench seats at the very back tables by the Christmas tree.)
ANYway... Excellent margaritas of course, we shared 'La Playa' - the watermelon one.
The atmosphere was buzzing. There were a couple of authentically Mexican guys singing with guitar in sombreros. Nice touch.
And a final shout-out to the staff - a very welcoming, bubbly blond woman who greeted us and directed us to our tables; a brilliant waiter full of smiles who took our orders, and even remembered our names (we all wrote our names on a sheet at the start for separate bills) but then he remembered after that, each time he served us. Nice touch.
Thanks for a tremendous night! :)
Great place - the food is delicious (hard to get decent Mexican in Auckland!) and the service is friendly. On weekends it's packed but has a great atmosphere, particularly with the mariachi band that comes around! Definitely will go back...again and again...!
We enjoy going here for lunch, my partner likes the BBQ & ranch chicken wrap with curly fries because he's not much into Mexican food, but it's my chance to get taco salad or nachos or quesadilla's so I'm happy! I also want to try their ribs sometime if we go at dinner, I've heard they are delicious! Being from Texas, I really miss Mexican or Tex-mex food, so this is a treat for me, but it's still pretty tame if you're looking for hardcore Mexican food. Oh and the chips they serve before your meal with salsa always taste stale to me, maybe that's just the way they prepare them? But overall, we keep going back :) We don't drink, so I can't comment on their alcoholic beverages.
Love this place, it's our 5th time here and have yet to try the ribs, expect this review to be modified once the famous ribs are sampled.
The staff are friendly and the food is well cooked, if you have kids they are treated to view the little sand lizards in the tank.
Our fav place to go for Mexican food! Have been here for a quick but good dinner, and also on group occasions. They handle these situations fine. Service is always good, they are very facilitative in moving tables (for example if wanting to sit outside etc.).
The food is always great, have tried many things on the menu. Always exceptionally presented and huge portion sizes!! Good range of margaritas and other drinks also.
Stumbled upon this place and was enticed by the $15 meal and drink deal. I got the chicken wrap and my friend ordered the nachos, both tasty! Service was quick and friendly :)
The food was amazing! I will definately be back :)
This place is the best Mexican I have had, so fresh, and the portions are huge, and the price is very reasonable. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone!!! :-)
Reasonable Mexican, but best ribs in NZ. Really impressed.
Service could be a little swifter, but is friendly.
I love this place.
I went here for a friends birthday, we ordered all the Margarita jugs, starters and main meals.
We had such a blast, the staff were great! We were all a little 'happy' from the Margarita and they had fun with us. They gave my friend a tequila shot, they sang happy birthday, gave us their hats, and sang next to our table. It was a awesome atmosphere. The manger was not there, which was good. Ive gone before and he was there. He's just a huge drag and an atmosphere in himself !
The drinks were tasty, still slightly pricey per jug, but they always are, get over it.
The food was great, who cares if its authentic or not. It was good food. The only downside with the food is that two of us ordered hot, and they were at the very least medium. More heat would be great.
I cant wait to go again :)
Fantastic night out!
Really large group (30 people) of us for my birthday. They were so accommodating to fit us all in...and get all our food out within 15 minutes!
Great service, really friendly and helpful.
Great food, I think between the 30 of us we sampled nearly everything on the menu and everyone enjoyed it. The ribs were a favourite! and the churros and mocha flan for dessert...yum yum yum! Pinarita margarita was really good too.
Great atmosphere with the live band.
Will definitely be back!
We love to go out to eat and the service we receive is hard to beat. Very helpful, very friendly and the food, oh the food is hard to beat. I recommend the place to everyone we meet who love Mexican food.
Ron Lake and family
Food was fantastic, I can recommend the quesadillas and the tortillas but I'm sure everything else is great too! They have an extensive selection of different margaritas too, the one I tried, the Pinarita was delicious. The service could not have been better. Fantastic atmosphere. What else could you want!
Thanks Lizard for a great night for me and the girls.. food OTT should have ordered a half portion of the ribs.. staff fabulous..wish I could remember the name of who looked after us .. do remember she had a long plait .. glad I escaped before the tequila shot .. you have a great restaurant .. the girls and I will be back .. I love your babies the two M's were really interesting to watch ..hope Paulie had a good night
will know in the morning .. T
I was passing by this afternoon looking for somewhere to meet friends. Luckily I past by Dos Amigos and grabbed a table outside with my daughter.
The wait staff were so friendly. Table was quickly cleaned and menus brought out.
I ordered the taco salad. I wanted something light and fast. My daughter ordered from the children's menu. She chose the Nachos loco with the chicken and loved it. It wasn't too spicy for her.
I was happy with the salad. just enough for me. We had just started to eat when the restaurant was evacuated due to the fire alarm going off. We waited around 15 mins before the all clear.
I didn't need to ask for the food to be reheated or replaced, Instead the owner told me he was going to replace everything for us straight away. Now that's service.
Over all, I was very impressed with everything. Food, service and menu oh, and the churros were amazing with the pot of chocolate. Can't wait to go back again.
Went here for lunch - very friendly and helpful staff. Menu had a lot of variety and waitress was helpful in giving info on the menu. Didnt have to wait long for food and it was absolutely delicious - best mexican I have ever had. Will definately be coming back here again.
This is my favorite restaurant!! If i can afford it i try to go once a week and i live over 60 km away. I cant get enough of it! The service is great the food is awesome! I must warn, don't go unless you can go back because after the first time you'll be hooked!! =)
Arrived on a wed night, had heard great things about this place. Not a huge venue, but was full when we arrived, glad I booked in advanced.
I had the ribs, my wife had the chicken chili mole, very authentic. Food was great, so was the cocktails. Would definitely go again. Prices were very reasonable.
Would have give 5 out of 5, but had to wait quite a while to get served between courses. May have been a busy night. Staff were very friendly. Great family and function venue.
Went there last night with a group of friends, really amazing place!! So impressed.
Great value for money (especially if you have the entertainment book voucher), exceptional service (complete with Mexican phrases and accents!), and amazing food.
I had the spare ribs, one of their non alcoholic cocktails Chit... I... (I can't remember the name exactly), and the flan for dessert. They came out fairly promptly, and all were wonderfully made.
Can't rave about this place enough, keep up the good work Dos Amigos Cantina! :)
Went to Dos Amigos for lunch today YUMMM!!! I am a huge fan of Mexican food and couldn't have been happier with my wrap and half of hubby's nachos! The waiter that served us was great and happily put up with my winging baby and a few spills!!! will absolutely be back to try some more of the appealing menu options
Popped in for a quick lunch. Very broad selection of food, and the biggest range of Tequila I have ever seen. Food was very good, arrived nice and quickly, service was fine. Black beans with main were best ever. Definitely will return.
I absolutely love Dos Amigos, been there twice now and just cant get enough of the great food, atmosphere and service. Thanks for my great birthday experience.
My wife and I went to Dos Amigos a few weeks ago and unfortunately we had our order lost and we ended up leaving without our food. But a few days after this event the owner/head chef Rob contacted me and asked if we'd like to come back as his guest.
So we went back to the restaurant tonight and met Rob, who was a great guy and very hospitable. We ordered the Quesidilla and the toquitos and they were both fantastic. We also had the churros for dessert and they were the best churros that ive ever had.
I really appreciated the extra mile that they went for us and I would definately recommend going to try the food, im sure you'll love it. Just make sure to book as its such a popular place.
Another Fantastic Meal at Dos Amigos! Food is superb (including the Churros at the end!), ambience is awesome (loved the real sombrerros) and service is some of the most friendliest in town. Have been three times already, and have the fourth booked in. Best restaurant in town by far!
I absolutely loved this place. Great wait staff, friendly atmosphere and excellent food. The fried ice cream ball in a tortilla shell was simply the best dessert I have ever eaten. I would not hesitate to visit again and recommend to others.
We go to Mexican Cafe in city all the time and its the only Mexican resturant we have been too... thought it was time to try somewhere - glad we did.
Food was much tastier - and service so much better!
This may just be our new Mexican - only thing I would miss is the atmosphere of Mexican cafe.

Wow! where do i start?... I have been a regular since Dos Amigos opened! I'm addicted to the yummy sizzling-big juicy Prawn Fajitas, quesadilla's & Churros & Fried Icecream...mmmmmm (makes me wanna go there now!)
Apart from fantastic, genuinely friendly 'mexicano style' service- go Jessica! who wears a sombrero hat bigger than her!, the menu has so many delicious & authentic meals to chose from. The serves are generous & prices very reasonable.
I have also never had ANY restaurant EVER try so hard to cater for my 'severe anaphylactic food allergies' before, AND SUCCEED! (which i might say is scary for everyone concerned!)
Thank you Rob, Aaron and the rest of the awesome team. As 'Arnie would say- "I'll be back!"
I just went there for a mothers day dinner. The mexican food was such a step up from the limited amount available in Auckland and it was hard to choose because there was so many good options. More than just the typical fare. The ribs were extremely tender and the sauce was delicious but the most outstanding part of the meal was the Churros. Best dessert eva!!
We booked a table for 6 at Dos Amigos last Friday night having had it recommended to us by friends. We were totally impressed by the food, the drinks and the service.
Dinner was delicious - we all ordered something different but favs at our table were the quesadilla's and chimichanga.
The margarita's were equally spesh - perhaps the experts on the liquor king pre-mix should stick to what they know! There was nothing mass-produced about our drinks, the selection and quality was excellent.
We are so happy to have a little piece of Mexico on the Mission Bay strip. We'll certainly be back!
We have been to Dos Amigos twice now and it is the closest to authentic mexican we have in this corner of the world. The Chilli Rejeno are to die for and the Tequila Chicken are a favourite amongst my friends and family. I am looking forward to the continual expansion of the restaurant. Keep it up guys!
This is a step above other Mexican in Auckland. The quality of ingredients was great and the food was very tasty. Service was great from 2 out of the three staff on the floor but being new I'm sure they'll sort that out. I can't comment on the margaritas cos I didn't have one but if you don't like expensive drinks go to the off license and drink at home.
Took a party of 4 for a meal - food was very good, freshly made in Mexican Heaven - will definitely go back. Thanks Dos Amigos for a great meal, we were really impressed.
I'm from the States, and I've missed the Mexican food from home big time.
I went to Dos Amigos this weekend with some friends and I have only good things to say about these guys. The beef nachos was classic with the tastiest beef and guacamole and with lots of cheese. The Chili con Carne was-to my surprise- made from real beef with lots of spices ( not mince and paste) Far from bland!
We are definetely going back.I recommend it to everyone who is craving tasty mexican cooking!
We've had a number of great meals at Dos Amigos since it has opened and we were very happy with the service and the food! The staff are incredibly friendly, accommodating and full of knowledge (and songs too if you're lucky). The food was delicious and perfect sized portions too! Very happy a decent Mexican restaurant is finally close to us!
love this place. good quality of food and awesome services :)
This place is definitely one of the better options at Mission Bay, though I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. Extensive menu, and vibrant presentation, but service can be patchy, especially if you are seated outside or tucked out of sight.
The BBQ ribs were juicy and tasty; the taco salad though was not that exciting. The taco shell was baked hard rather than crispy fried, and the filling had large amounts of bland guacamole and sour cream. I would have preferred some beans and/or rice in place of some of that.
Having said that, the atmosphere is happy and relaxed, and this would make a great place for a group, especially if you have some unadventurous eaters. The bearded dragons are cute too!

Last week we had a birthday party there, it is a favourite of ours for tasty affordable authentic Mexican food with friends. Expect to wait for your table in the weekends, but there is a bar to keep you occupied, helpful staff combined with a delicious selection of tasty food makes for a fun night out. They have show in the weekend,you can check the website of them, the service stuff are very helpful. they would like to guide you in your menu ,answer your question and it's very busy store, they could maintain such good quality service, it's awesome !!
We almost tried all the dishes of it, all the dishes served with salad ,the plate is very big, so I think 2 girls can share one plate, the food looks like very healthy and colourful, ,the combination of sauce ,meat beans sour cream,cheese rice just make your mouth very balanced and fresh. We specially like B.B.Q Pork Ribs $28, it serve in big plate very juicy very good tasty. We also recommend ,Burrito $22, Chimichanga $22, the tasty food just is very balanced and healthy. We also order the sangria, it serve with ginger ale, just not tasty like we try in Mexico downtown, so I do not recommend the sangria. Also one thing, book early if a big group !

Here was me thinking - not another Mexican. There seem to be a lot of these popping up all over Auckland right now. However, Dos Amigos has been around a wee while now, and is definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants in Auckland. It’s owned and operated by Mexican folks, which is always a good starter. It’s overlooking Mission Bay and is just down the road from the Berkley Cinema, so makes it great as a place to go with friends after a night at the flicks or a sunny day at the beach.
Every time I go there, the staff are always really friendly and welcoming and they seem pretty genuine, which is a nice surprise because some of the new Mexican restaurants have a 'stack-em-in' approach toward customers and customer service.
The beer selection is spot on, the cocktails are authentic, the Quesidillas and Nachos were close to the best I’ve ever eaten, and if you are still not full after all of that, the Churros or the Chimichanga will get ya!
Friendly, lively and reasonably priced. Look out for the bearded dragons up at the back!
I've been here a few times now. The atmosphere is quite nice - there was lives music the last time I went and there is a lot of decor, including a bearded dragon. The guys is pretty good and the portions aren't so big you feel bloated afterwards. Will definitely come back at some point
Though it was very busy found the friendly staff very attentive and efficient handling multiple customers at the same time and not missing a beat. Food was very tasty and well presented and great selection of imported beverages which help make the total experience very enjoyable. Parking can be a little challenging during peak periods but well worth the effort 😀
Will definitely come back! So glad I left my cost hotel in the city to visit this authentic Mexican restaurant. The set up, margarita, food and free salsa and corn chips took me right back to my trip through the states. Had the rib special so very happy with the price and the meal was delicious
Busy when I visited Saturday for lunch,however service was prompt and efficient. Good $15.50 lunch menu option as well as a full menu option. Wings were tasty and the overall food was plentiful and tasty. Plenty of Mexican beers to choose from as well as other brands. Well worth a visit and the view on a clear day was impressive.
Busy Mexican restaurant. Come in-early or book early for secure sitting. Indoor & outdoor sitting available. Busy & friendly staff. Pork ribs were tender juicy & off the bone. Tender Grilled chicken served with lots of black beans. Tequila sludge was a bit on sweet side. Try their signature Nachos served with avocado & melted cheese. For birthday parties....staff will sing Mexican birthday songs. Ponchos are provided if your are feeling chilly
The best authentic Mexican food in Auckland. The sunset view was good. Tacos, Nachos are the best.
Loved it, my son took me for dinner for Mother's day as he'll be working tomorrow. AWESOME service, AWESOME food, great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, will definitely be back at some stage.
Great tasting food in a relaxed environment. Staff were great and gave us complimentary corn chips on arrival. Kids menu available.
Good filling portions at a fair price.
Loved the cocktail and ambience. Were here because of zomato gold. 2+2 drinks. Highly recommended. Had chicken nachos here in past and loved them tooo. A nive spot with sittings inside and outside. Booking recommended. Margarita monday is very nice offer
Home to the best chicken wings in all of NZ, the prawn tacos are a must try as well.
Have been coming here regularly for nearly a decade and can highly recommend to all for a great night out.

Great food coupled with the location not to mention the vibe.It is a place that caters to almost everybody under the sun so do stop by...big ups to staff and complements to the chef...thanx
You definitely have to go here sometime! The food is so good, the atmosphere is perfect and the staff are so friendly. I'm definitely looking forward to eating here again and trying more stuff from their menu!
Food is tasty. Try the homemade salsas habenero and chipotle with your fajitas and bean and chip dip. Great customer service. Friendly staff. Clean toilets.
Loved it. The atmosphere was really nice and the portions were huge. We went just before it got busy and the food came out really quickly so would definitely come again.
