Initially we had booked a set menu due to the size of our group but due to some last minute cancellations we were able to change to the Tuesday Taco deal! The staff were super accommodating and nothing was a problem. The food is exceptional! my favourite was the grilled fish taco but they were all super tasty. Highly recommend!, Hannah Helm, 7 months ago > We ducked in on the off chance they had a free table, they were amazing, good was gorgeous, brilliant vegan selection., Tracey Heaney, 2 months ago > Had the most delicious food. Beautiful atmosphere , stunning decor, friendly staff serving as with a smile. Bar men served us the most delish Margaritas 🧡🧡🧡, Daleen G, 11 months ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.52337&lon=172.6296427) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.52337,172.6296427,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=Mexicano's) - [Christchurch Central City](https://www.chch.live/christchurch-central-city), the suburb - [The OSM record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/11963936615), fix it there ## Questions, answered briefly **What is Mexicano's?** A Mexican restaurant in Christchurch Central City, Christchurch. **Where is Mexicano's?** 131 Victoria Street, Christchurch Central City, on [Victoria Street](https://www.chch.live/street/christchurch-central-city/victoria-street).
