I love Mexican food but this was just a let down and in my opinion it is really expensive for the service you get. Tortilla was nothing special and nachos were really poor. Wouldn't return back!

The service was good, but the food was very average, a bit cold and not very appealing

I take my teenage boys here often, especially on Taco Tuesdays when we can get 2 for the price of 1. The tortillas are nice and soft and the salsas are delicious.

Went here as other Mexican was closed on Sunday... Glad we did! The Macho burritos we had were just so good and very filling. Would have loved to try something else but couldn't fit another morsel in! Weren't many people there due to Sunday nights being quiet but that didn't bother us at all. Happily go back to try another... More

My friends and I LOVE coming up to Auckland for a day trip, to shop and then end with a lovely fun meal at Mexicali Fresh. We've made a bit of a tradition of it! There is a fun, lively atmosphere at the restaurant, it's right on the Princess Wharf on the Auckland waterfront, in walking distance to discounted parking... More

Last I visited was 2005. The food was reasonably priced and you get to pick your own fillings etc. Prety good Mexican food. Great tequila and margharitas
