Mexico Christchurch is a great spot for tasty Mexican food with a lively atmosphere and friendly service. The tacos and burritos were fresh and full of flavour, and the portions were generous. A perfect place for a casual dinner with friends or family. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in Christchurch and craving Mexican food!
Suren Sivalingam, 5 months agoThe food is affordable and it came out very fast. The food is consistently fine too. I don't expect the greatest service here but the staff are friendly. There are a good amount of vegetarian options.
Te Rama Kerr, 7 months agoThis has been my favourite resturaunt for a long time, although I hadn't been to this exact one for awhile, the food here always tastes great but I felt this time around, it could have come out a little warmer, I was sad to see the fried chicken had gone up but then redeemed when we were given more pieces than it used to come with! The tacos however are always my favourite, i was very satisfied with the taste of those.
