La Mexica Cantina and Restaurant
In the heart of a thriving culinary kaleidoscope, there lies an uncharted treasure known as this delectable Mexican establishment. A realm that conjures not just flavors, but a symphony of gastronomic adventures, enchanting those lucky enough to stumble upon it. A clandestine sanctuary, so-to-speak, undisturbed by the hustling crowd, unmarred by the commonplace clamor, a true hidden gem in the urban culinary fabric.The pizzas here are not mere compositions of bread, cheese, and sauce, but masterpieces intricately designed by the virtuosic hands of seasoned craftsmen. It is a tour de force of an extravaganza that spans from the rich cornucopia of Mexico's bountiful lands, captured under a layer of inviting, molten cheese, and brilliantly concocted sauce. Each bite is a promenade through the vibrant streets of Mexico, with flavors as captivating as the country's rich heritage and stunning landscapes.And the deals, oh the deals! They are generous offerings, blessings bestowed upon the fortunate patrons by the gracious hosts. Imagine a gilded cornucopia brimming with the most exquisite food, and yet, one that does not demand the emptying of pockets. It is a testament to the authentic Mexican generosity, a testament that resonates with each peso spent, ensuring every customer not only leaves with a full belly but a spirit glowing with satisfaction.But, despite its culinary wizardry and customer-friendly deals, the restaurant remains blissfully serene. A kind of solitude reigns here that only heightens the sensory experiences, allowing each visitor to focus on the flavorful journey without the cacophony of a bustling crowd. It is a tranquil oasis amidst the chaos of the city, a place where you can not only savor a great meal but also enjoy the rare luxury of quietude.In conclusion, this Mexican restaurant stands as a beacon of gastronomic excellence, an unsung hero amidst culinary titans. So, for those who dare to venture off the beaten path, a fantastic pizza experience awaits you, wrapped in enchanting solitude and attractive deals. The secret might be out, but the enchantment of this hidden gem remains unscathed, promising a memorable culinary voyage with every visit.

Beautiful restaurant, gorgeous food, perfect margaritas!! We had the place to ourselves due to bad weather and Tuesday night. We all tried something we had never had and wasn't disappointed. You feel the love put into the food. Dessert was amazing too. You have to visit this place!! You won't regret it. Hardly any wait time for food or drinks and staff super friendly. Thank you for having us!!!!

Highly recommend. Amazing generously portioned kai, great prices and amazing chef!! The waitress is very friendly but needs to learn a bit more professionalism and get familiar with the menu as she was unable to help with any of our queries about the food. She also made a mistake with our order which they kindly gave us for free. I'm assuming she is new so I'm sure she will be great once she gains some experience.

We went due to them being advertised in the entertainment book. However, when we went to pay they said they wouldn't honor the discount as they said they no longer accept them (no signs or anything nothing this). However, looking through reviews later the same complaint has been made over 2 years ago. Obviously, they are just using the entertainment book for the advertising.The service was poor. We were the only customers but were barely acknowledged once our food had been ordered. We waited 15 minutes to order dessert but no one came, so we paid and left. Very disappointed and would never go back.

Visited last wk on Friday night, there was a group of about 10 of us & we ordered a few platters & dishes to share. Service was great, food was reasonably priced & we all had a great time. Only down side was it was quite cold even though we were sitting inside. Would def come again though.

Firstly the good, cocktails were niceFriendly staff.Ordered nachos, next to no toppings basically just cornchipsAsked for hot sauce and received a chutney like sauce with no heat.Would expect a Mexican restaurant to have an array of traditional hot sauces available.Upon paying the bill was asked to pay extra for the 'hot' sauce which thankfully was removed from the bill.Probably won't go back.Few tweaks and it could be decent.

The food and the service were really nice.2 women looked after us and they were really lovely.I ordered a passionfruit margarita and a beef burrito and my partner a soft drink with mixed fajitas.The place is a bit run down to be honest. It doesn't look appealing when you walk on the street but it's one of those places where you better not judge by the look as the food and portions were great.Just a shame the restaurant is next to a bar, on a Saturday Night (and probably from Wed to Sat) it's a bit annoying if you want to have a quiet dinner.

We were a party of four on a blustery Sunday evening on holiday in Tauranga and La Mexica caught our eye, looking like an authentic, run-down little cantina in Distrito Federal in Mexico. What it lacked in freshness it made up for in a generous menu and Coronas. The music segwayed seamlessly from Mexican soft rock and ballads to Indian romance, but really, the food was the star of the night. Generous portions and sizzling plates of goodness. We would go back, particularly if there were a few more of us to fill the place up a bit more.
