Whilst the eatery is nice and the staff were friendly the food unfortunately didn’t quite hit the mark. The chicken enchiladas were good (4/5) but the lamb burrito was underwhelming (2/5).Nice idea and I was keen to try it, but sadly it was rather bland and there wasn’t much lamb filling. Mostly it was soggy rice inside. Lacked flavour overall and ultimately I resorted to adding a lot of hot sauce to make it palatable. The accompanying salsa tasted like a supermarket one.

Delicious meals. We came at a very busy time when the restaurant was full. Needed to wait a little but food was worth the wait and we enjoyed a good rest break on our journey home.

Good sized meals, a lot of flavour. Not as spicy as I was expecting but still tasty.Well laid out dining areas with a small bar space too.

I have been traveling in New Zealand from north to south for 11 weeks. The most beautiful place I've dined at, the kind and smiling service, and above all the food - fresh and so delicious and the prices absolutely reasonable. The atmosphere in the place is calm and pleasant to sit and chat and dine. Highly recommend! Thank you very much friends.

We just stopped to get a nice a cup of coffee.And were disappointed. One of the worst we had.The atmosphere was good but just dont get the mix of nice history of fire brigade and mexican culture. Can imagine it can be very cosy.

Our family arrived for dinner Tuesday night and we were greeted with a lovely ambience of smell, light and colour.There was a good crowd in and we were promptly served our drinks by the friendly waitress.The meals we ordered included the chicken enchiladas and the Beef rib-eye with garlic butter Fajita.All the meals were excellent. 10/10 to the chef.An enjoyable couple of hours spent.Well worth the visit.

Really confused and disappointed by our visit. We had been wanting to try and were travelling from Dunedin where we live to Catlins, so stopped on the way for dinner. Was really looking forward to a cosy, relaxed vibe, a cocktail and some fresh tasty food to kick off our weekend away after a 7 day stretch at work. We knew it was reasonably expensive and so was expecting high quality, especially after reading all the great reviews. The whole menu looked amazing and we found it hard to choose. As we were waiting, we discussed coming back with family to try more dishes - unfortunately I doubt we will now. The cocktail was nice but more of a mixed punch than a cocktail. The corn chips and guac was dear at $16 but the tortilla chips were really really good. The gauc didn't appear to be made with fresh avo but tasted great and given price of avos, we figured it was an ok trade off. Then it all went south - just before our mains arrived, people started arriving to the table behind us. It turned out to be a group booking of around 20. For the life of me, I cannot understand WHY we were seated there when we could see multiple empty tables in other parts of the restaurant. This huge group were incredibly rowdy and noisy and when our mains came, my husband and I just glumly ate them in silence, unable to hear anything apart from this group. My enchiladas were nice. My husband's chimichanga though was nearly all cheese with very little chicken or chorizo. It wasn't nice. He was really disappointed, especially for $28. No one came to check on us or the meals. We decided to leave because of the group and when I went to pay, the server said nothing to us except the amount of the bill and asking if we wanted the receipt. Didn't ask about our meals or anything. At $93 for chips & guac, then a main and drink each, we were hoping for a more enjoyable experience. I'm still at a loss as to why anyone would seat a couple right next to a table of 20 - part of dining out is relaxing and enjoying the whole experience but that group made us feel like we were eating in cafeteria. We just feel really sad about the whole thing

Amazing food & amazing service, has become the new fave for quite a few locals. Taco Tuesday was ideal for lunch, plenty of space with quick service. We got a couple of tacos each with guac to start and churros to finish, biggest problem was trying to choose the fave taco! So great to see in clutha, love the fire station character coming through.
