Best place in town for corn chips and dip! The queso dip is insane. I had to order some to take home with me after our meal.Frozen margaritas are my favourite also.Will be back regularly for sure!

Best Mexican in all of Christchurch! We did tapas style dining & ordered all the entrees which were all so so delicious- the mini chimichangas are to die for! It is straight up soul food. Great setting, great kiwi fruit margaritas, super friendly staff, 10/10. Highly recommend

Fantastic little spot in Sumner, I’ve visited multiple times when staying in Christchurch. The new buffalo chicken is dope, and but booze is better! The owners are great fun and worth supporting.

Once you realise that the sour-faced front of house owner is actually a really nice guy, and that's just how he is - you can have an absolute blast here! Just be wary of the margaritas - they're too delicious to just have 1, but the more you have, the more likely you are to have some ridiculous banter with Jack! Brilliant evening, with a great atmosphere, excellent food and lovely staff. Highly recommend!

This is a very nice place and very attentive service and recommendable. Post covid quite a few places in nz have improved with their service and catering.We tried this place first time and the restaurant wasn’t very busy. The manager was very nice and explained.The food is commendable that it does have some sort of mexican-ness to it. I’d say much better than what you get at everyday Mexican places..We had mango chicken nachos large 28$: the corn chips were good and so was the salsa. The guacamole although felt like it was dished out of a can / supermarket jar. The serving was small compared to the price.Then we had quesadilla cheese 14$. This was ok. And worth the price; what you get at any palce.Chicken Enchilada 31$ was also an ok serve. But it was bland. However with the hot sauce it tasted much better.Fajitas (fish and prawn) 59$. I think overpriced but my partner didn’t think so. it does feed 2 people though. Try once if never had before.And lastly churros 12$ which are certainly recommended. The chocolate was nice and creamy rather than something out of a sauce bottle.Overall certainly worth visiting once. I feel though almost all the items are supermarket sourced rather than in hand made, except for the churros maybe. So kind of fast food with some handy touch.. However taste wise 4/5. Price wise 3/5. Overall 3.5..

Awesome restaurant! It’s Mexican like I’ve never had before - and so much tastier than anything I’ve ever had in NZ before. Beautiful food, awesome environment, epic drinks (try the raspberry habanero margaritas) and great service - the owners are so lovely. Really stoked by our night at Headless Mexican last night.
