good food, service and big portions. A extended family dinner of 8, we were well accommodated and smashed back a few margaritas too which were well priced and very very tasty. Recommend if you have a Mexican craving or want a fun value for money session of food and drinks.

Was quite noisy - with a... More

It was not OK at all. It was disappointing, We went there to enjoy a meal expecting ambiance, Instead we got noise, poor service, and value for money was lacking.

Firstly please do not go to the above address, the building on the corner of Armagh and New Regent Street was destroyed by the Earthquake in February. So it was great to hear of the Flying Burrito Brothers opening again in the former Pizza Hut building on the Main North Road at Northlands Shopping Center. We went there on a... More

An outstanding venue for a semi-rowdy group night out. Or equally suited to early dining with the whole family. Friendly, efficient staff and tasty affordable meals. What more can you ask for?

My boyfriend is from Texas, so he knows what good mexican food is. We loved this restaurant. The food was great, and the margaritas even better. The owner was very involved in the restaurant and hands on in the dinning room.

My partner and I wanted to treat ourselves to a nice dinner out and I love Mexican, so we were happy to see this restaurant back in action. For a Monday night it was quite busy, but we got a table within 5 minutes. I wanted to order a sangria but the $12 price tag turned me off. I stuck... More

An interesting name for a restaurant drew us in to have a taste of the food.Although it was a Wednesday night,we still had to wait 45 minutes for a table, which was spent having a beer & a wine at the bar. Once we were seated, the service was friendly, informative & of an excellent standard. Once ordered, our food... More

Can't rate the food as we didn't get to eat. Although we were promised a table on the phone and my wife hobbled 200m across the carpark on crutches to get there we were told we'd have to wait an hour and a half. Worst service in nz.

Food was good and while there was a wait to be seated the food flew out once we got a table. Not quite the Mexican food you are used to in North America but good nonetheless.
