A couple of weeks ago, was looking for an Indian restaurant and got there accidentally. But it was a great experience. Have to say that the staff there are so friendly and helpful. I am not a great fan of Mexican food. But that day, I started loving it. The staff are so hardworking. I like the ambience too. Would definitely recommend La Mexica- something you must try.
One of the best restaurants in tauranga.
Ambience is perfect with stunning views of the sea.
The staff were checking on us every few minutes, food were up fast. Everything is tasty. I recommend the ribs and the combination fajitas.
Pretty good experience.
Food was good and tasty. The place had a great vibe. Service was good. If anything, the service was too good. I was asked 4 times if my meal was good.
The steak was really good.
The portions were pretty big.
Will definately go back.
Friendly staff with a great laid back atmosphere. Possible the best Chicken burger I've ever had and the thin crispy chips were amazing. I want nachos in all my burgers forever more!
Had a great time last night at La Mexica for the salsa
night! We came in for dinner and were not disappointed! I had the mixed grill
fajitas which were out of this world and way too much food for me, I had to
take some home! Really good atmosphere and nice staff. We will be back!
Beautiful restaurant, gorgeous food, perfect margaritas!! We had the place to ourselves due to bad weather and Tuesday night. We all tried something we had never had and wasn't disappointed. You feel the love put into the food. Dessert was amazing too. You have to visit this place!! You won't regret it. Hardly any wait time for food or drinks and staff super friendly. Thank you for having us!!!!
Visited last wk on Friday night, there was a group of about 10 of us & we ordered a few platters & dishes to share. Service was great, food was reasonably priced & we all had a great time. Only down side was it was quite cold even though we were sitting inside. Would def come again though.
Highly recommend. Amazing generously portioned kai, great prices and amazing chef!! The waitress is very friendly but needs to learn a bit more professionalism and get familiar with the menu as she was unable to help with any of our queries about the food. She also made a mistake with our order which they kindly gave us for free. I'm assuming she is new so I'm sure she will be great once she gains some experience.
The food was delicious and the restuarant owner and chef made is feel welcome and made sure we were well loomed after.
The best Mexican dishes I've ever had.
Great food and great service. Ordered the beef burrito, ribs and chicken wings, everything was tasty and the drinks they made were good too (lemon lime and bitters and raspberry lemonade. They were cleaning the toilets when we arrived so it was pretty spotless in there. Only downside was it didn’t seem very busy but that’s not the restaurants fault because everything I experienced was great.

What a great place for pizza! I will definitely be coming back. Best price and service. Top tier. Only negative was lack of vegetarian options.
The food was very great and we really enjoyed our time here! Service is good, the prices are quite normal.
Absolutely amazing place, food was delicious and served so beautifully and the owner and her daughter who served us were so lovely and went over and above to provide a top notch service, thank you so much I will definitely be back :)
Great pizza and drink deal. We really enjoyed our night and the staff were lovely and helpful

We were a party of four on a blustery Sunday evening on holiday in Tauranga and La Mexica caught our eye, looking like an authentic, run-down little cantina in Distrito Federal in Mexico. What it lacked in freshness it made up for in a generous menu and Coronas. The music segwayed seamlessly from Mexican soft rock and ballads to Indian romance, but really, the food was the star of the night. Generous portions and sizzling plates of goodness. We would go back, particularly if there were a few more of us to fill the place up a bit more.
Came here for lunch today, the food was great inside my mouth! I would rate it a 10/10 if Google gave me the option but definitely 5 stars from me. The food was even so cheap and large portions that meant I could takeaway the delicious feast! Thank you so much La Mexica Cantina!
Amazing meal - huge plate sizes loved the entire experience !!!

I went to La Mexica looking for something different at night and it turns out that on Thursday night they have free bachata classes. I met lot of people, I have a great time and I found all the fun I was looking for. It was such a great night.
I recommend this place if you are new in Tauranga and have no plans at night, this one is a gooood one. Next time I'll probably go early to enjoy the food.
