Amazing! Highly recommended. Tacos are to die for. Great margaritas too
We sat outside with no heater or blankets available. The service pretty average as was the food. Not especially great value.. Wouldn't go again probably ..
Amazing taco - will definitely return - cool vibe and great service
Food and Service was absolutely delicious. lovely atmosphere on a raining akld.day.
Love it here , the food and amazing people giving you food are fabulous and beautiful. And I just love that Edmundo Farerra meets you with such joy and a hug x
Please do not serve vegetarian tacos on the same plate side by side next to meat tacos! Not all desirable. Pretty basic for respect of dietary differences. I also informed the wait staff my mushroom taco (on specials board) was cold and incredibly greasy. Drippy red grease was all over my plate and I pointed to it. I had only taken a bite. The wait staff cleared it away. No alternative offered or discount given despite it clearly not being up to standard. I will not be back.
Great option for a team lunch - beautiful food, relaxed setting and we were well looked after.
Amazing dining experience. We will be back many more times!
Amazing food and amazing drinks! The atmosphere is great and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Definitely coming back for more tacos and margs!
Amazing food, great quick service and well priced. Will be back
Enjoyed the nachos and tacos. Great service and we were able to be seated early. We also saved room for the yummy dessert!
We have just discovered Tacoteca. This is the closest to authentic we have found in NZ. Management and wait staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. We will be back. And regularly!
Thank you we had a great dinner. The tacos so yummy, and the guacamole with the corn chips was so good! I also tried the Mexican espresso martini, wasn't sure what to expect but will definitely be having that again when we come back in future. Highly recommend!
the food was great, it came out quick and the ambience was just right
Loved it - really great atmosphere and delicious food and drinks
Beautiful food and lovely service. It was a great evening, thank you!
Great food great quality! WOuld only be better if a Mariachi Band was playing in the background <3
Everything, even what we thought were the “simple” dishes were so full of flavour. And a lot were quite complex in flavour. Great variety and very filling! Customer service was great and the vibe of the restaurant was lovely. We would definitely recommend and would definitely dine again! :) Authentic Mexican food and drinks.
Great food and service, knowledgeable about food allergies and very accommodating for our family! Amazing authentic restaurant , will definitely be back again
The staff were incredibly lovely and helped make our anniversary dinner extra special! Thank you :)
Great staff, great food and amazing tequila - looking forward to making this a regular visit
Loved the food and a great selection of drinks! A bit on the pricey side, but the quality was top notch. Great spot to have a drink and dinner with mates after work on Friday.
Excellent all round service and food .Keep up the good work.
Felt like being in Mexico. Fast efficient service too. Thanks for taking us back to my travels.
Great food. It's on the pricey side but really good quality.
Great staff - only one vegetarian choice. good beer choice
Most of the food was very salty, even with a margarita to wash it down. The corn chips and tortillas are still lovely. But the quality of everything else seems to have declined since it's first opened. It was a disappointing visit, especially when I told my friend I was bringing her to one of the best Mexican eateries in town.
Incredibly delicious and authentic Mexican food, absolutely loved the food and drinks
Nice food and place! .. .. .. .. .. ..
We love love love this place Excellent food and fantastic staff, very friendly and helpful! Food is tasty and comes wuickly! Well worth a visit
Great time - not as good as the last. The fish tacos were a bit dry (the fish perhaps overcooked) and the music was quite loud (we were outside). But service was excellent and all the rest of the food and the drinks were wonderful.
We generally enjoyed our experience. The cabbage taco was delicious - smoky and deeply flavourful. The pork taco as good too. The fish taco was the most disappointing - the fish needed to have been deep fried, rather than grilled, or it needed another ingredient beyond the mayo and cabbage to make it feel 'complete'. The tamarind and passion fruit margaritas were good although did taste a little 'thin'..maybe they needed Cointreau.
Finally some decent tacos! Great food and friendly staff. Will definitely be coming back.
Best tacos I've tasted outside of Mexico, and wonderful staff!
yummy food, good services, and great atmosphere! not too loud this time (probably because the doors were open). Thanks!
Great food and atmosphere, staff welcoming and friendly. Margaritas delicious.
No Guacamole! At 7:30pm! And only one ice block left. Helpfully told to share it between 4…and no alternative dessert offered to us. That said, the rest of the food was amazing.
Beautiful Mexican food and staff members. Definitely I’ll comeback for food and drinks
Great atmosphere, tasty food and attentive staff. Very impressed with first visit.
Great visit and spot for a group outing. Service was good. Food was yummy. It would be great to see some food combo deals too.
Delicious food, great service, I was almost sad we were going to a show. I wished I'd made time for dessert and a few more margaritas.
Knowledgeable staff who pushed us out of our comfort zone with amazing food that was a joy to eat!
Food was great, only complaint is the waiter didn't know the wine list, and one of the wines on the menu wasn't on the pos system, so couldn't suggest anything similar.
Wonderful experience and the food is delicious, staff are amazing
The recommendations were spot on! Amazing food (well above expectation!) and stellar customer service! I have never felt so welcomed in a restaurant as a parent of a preschooler, a truly kid friendly dining experience going above and beyond to make dining at Tacoteca a truly pleasant experience. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Auckland!
Great food and service, we enjoyed our meal Thank you
Food was really good and fast service. Would try again
Loved the food and service was awesome and wait stuff super friendly and welcoming
The most authentic and yummy Mexican food we’ve ever had! It’s tapas style and it’s super, SUPER tasty 🤤. The staff also were so attentive, friendly, and excited to talk and share about the food too which always makes it sooo much better!! You have to try the dulce de liche dessert - there’s only one option on the menu and it’s the only option needed 🤤, for a cocktail grab a pink senorita maguerita - it has a salt rim to die for.. and the tamales, tacos, guacamole, and gringa were ALL so incredibly scrumptious!!! We will be back.
Waiters were almost overly attentive with the water -- I don't need a top up when my glass is still half full!! But service was incredibly fast and the food was incredible, and the people were lovely. x
