About
In case the rain took you by surprise during the promenade around Hairy Maclary & Friends Tauranga Waterfront Sculpture, stop by this restaurant. Mexican cuisine is to the pleasure of all guests here. Try good nacho chips, steaks and chicken fajitas. A number of visitors of La Mexica say that tasty chocolate cakes and good ice cream are served here. Don't miss the opportunity to drink delicious margaritas, Sangria or tequila. This place will offer you great coffee. This spot is famous for its great service and friendly staff, that is always ready to help you. From the guests' viewpoint, prices are attractive. There is a pleasant atmosphere and beautiful decor at this restaurant. But people rate La Mexica below average on Google.

I came here for the One Love After Party and Mens toilets were flooded hardly anyone was there wasn't much People at all so I'm not sure why the toilets were a mess. The bar lady gave me the wrong drink that I still had to pay for. Never going here ever again would not recommend this place to anyone for a night out.
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.

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!!!!

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.
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.
Came on Thursday nights for the Latin dancing!! It's so great and a lot of fun!! 😄 🕺 💃 Atmosphere: 5

The food was delicious and the restuarant owner and chef made is feel welcome and made sure we were well loomed after. The best Mexican dishes I've ever had.
Great food and great service. Ordered the beef burrito, ribs and chicken wings, everything was tasty and the drinks they made were good too (lemon lime and bitters and raspberry lemonade. They were cleaning the toilets when we arrived so it was pretty spotless in there. Only downside was it didn’t seem very busy but that’s not the restaurants fault because everything I experienced was great.
Bartenders will try and rip you off when serving drinks by tripling your amount thinking you won’t notice!! Disgusting behaviour. Meal type Other Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
If you are a woman you must be careful. Many cases of harassment within where the service, guards or manager do nothing. Like many thefts of belongings by the guards, I recommend you take care of yourself and not go toIf you are a woman you must be careful.
