Mexico has always been on my list of places to travel to, you can imagine how excited I was when my partner told me we were going. OK so a word of advice; choose your words wisely when asking your partner out to dinner. I realised while we were sitting across from each other drinking our margaritas and eating our quesadillas, that my girlfriend really knows me all too well. Mexico is quite simply… perfect.
This is easily one of my favourite spots to go in Auckland and I am absolutely addicted to the soft shell fish taco. With such a cultural vibe and friendly, casual atmosphere here it is impossible not to have a great time on every visit. I like to get the $12 chicken or beef quesadilla as it is so filling and equally delicious. The soft shell tacos are only $6 each and the taco loyalty card is nifty too. This is a great place to come if you want a cheap meal but don’t want to subject yourself to the guilt of a big mac, because here you can indulge in the fresh ingredients and not have it put any strain your health or wallet.
Be prepared for a bit of a wait on a busy night but Mexico in Britomart is well worth it. The food is incredibly tasty and you will want to try several dishes. The fried chicken is a favourite as are the fresh and innovative salads. Wait in the small bar out the back and enjoy a sangria and bowl of house made corn chips.
