Please do not serve vegetarian tacos on the same plate side by side next to meat tacos! Not all desirable. Pretty basic for respect of dietary differences. I also informed the wait staff my mushroom taco (on specials board) was cold and incredibly greasy. Drippy red grease was all over my plate and I pointed to it. I had only taken a bite. The wait staff cleared it away. No alternative offered or discount given despite it clearly not being up to standard. I will not be back.

We have just discovered Tacoteca. This is the closest to authentic we have found in NZ. Management and wait staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. We will be back. And regularly!

Thank you we had a great dinner. The tacos so yummy, and the guacamole with the corn chips was so good! I also tried the Mexican espresso martini, wasn't sure what to expect but will definitely be having that again when we come back in future. Highly recommend!

Everything, even what we thought were the “simple” dishes were so full of flavour. And a lot were quite complex in flavour. Great variety and very filling! Customer service was great and the vibe of the restaurant was lovely. We would definitely recommend and would definitely dine again! :) Authentic Mexican food and drinks.

Most of the food was very salty, even with a margarita to wash it down. The corn chips and tortillas are still lovely. But the quality of everything else seems to have declined since it's first opened. It was a disappointing visit, especially when I told my friend I was bringing her to one of the best Mexican eateries in town.

Great time - not as good as the last. The fish tacos were a bit dry (the fish perhaps overcooked) and the music was quite loud (we were outside). But service was excellent and all the rest of the food and the drinks were wonderful.

We generally enjoyed our experience. The cabbage taco was delicious - smoky and deeply flavourful. The pork taco as good too. The fish taco was the most disappointing - the fish needed to have been deep fried, rather than grilled, or it needed another ingredient beyond the mayo and cabbage to make it feel 'complete'. The tamarind and passion fruit margaritas were good although did taste a little 'thin'..maybe they needed Cointreau.
