Mexican Specialties

I stayed with a friend around the corner and we were going to get fish & chips until I saw Mexican Specialties. I decided to order a Prawn Tortilla and a very refreshing icy pineapple juice and we sat outside in the late afternoon sun. I was only going to eat half but it was so yummy I ate it all. I'm not from Auckland but if I ever go near there again it will be a must do for a meal. Thanks for the lovely food, service and atmosphere.

I did really enjoy my flautas. The toppings on them are perfect and you don’t really need the additional sauces they offer because those don’t add to the flavor at all. Very pricy though which I will attribute to the neighborhood? As someone who has grown up with affordable, authentic Mexican food, I know you can have it at a more reasonable price. Also, for the prices, I think at least a side of rice or beans or something should be included. The coffee was okay. Probably would be better with some milk and sugar. The owner was very nice though! Definitely a place to try at least once but only often if you can afford the prices.

Absolute GEM 💎💞 Lovingly made authentic Mexican cuisine 🇲🇽🌮🫠 Absolutely excellent hand-made flatbreads with zingy, fresh, delectable toppings and succulent meats. Perfected, rich, flavourful mole 💯 I was completely blown away by the flavours and textures and the charm of the place. Grandma knows her stuff. They sell food products and serve a menu of incredible dishes. The tequila chutney is heavenly. The guacamole- oh my GHOD - thick chunks of perfectly ripe avocado, expertly seasoned and the home made corn chips are utterly divine. It’s in my top 5 NZ eateries and they don’t serve booze so that is a huge compliment.

This place is seriously amazing. The owners are absolutely lovely and friendly. And the food comes out tasting of home made deliciousness. There are many homemade condiments you can add to your meals (not included in the picture) - the chilli jam was my favourite! Definitely made a repeat customer out of me.

One of my most favourite places to eat. First of all customer service - Grandma is the loveliest woman ever she's very friendly and makes ever visit extremely pleasant . secondly the food- she doesn't always have all the items on the menu as she makes everything fresh and all by herself. Every bite is made with love. From the taco shells, nachos and juice. All handmade and fresh daily. Nothing beats taste and quality with Grandma. Every dish every time is always on point. Thirdly authenticity- I have no idea how grandma knows how to cook like a local Mexican but she makes it the way it is made in Mexico. If you want proper Mexican food come here instead of those chain Mexican Californian style chains. She makes the real deal which is alot better. Only way to know what I'm talking about is to check it out 🙂
