Turns out some of our menu favourites quite literally started in Scott's dreams...
Inspiration at Mexico can come from anywhere. Something spotted overseas, a dish tried once and never forgotten, what's happening online, or an idea that just refuses to leave your head.
Then comes the fun part: turning that idea into something worthy of the Mexico menu.
Let's just say we're very glad Scott followed through on the churro cheesecake dream 😴

Our kind of date night 🍹🌮
Margs first, a table full of food, plenty of “you have to try this” and no one having to think about what’s for dinner. Then churros, because somehow there’s always room.
Easy.

You know what they say, every friendship needs balance.
One of you came to Mexico for dinner, and the other came with a million stories to unpack.

Maybe your group chat just needs a night at Mexico?
The food is hot, the margs are called, and apparently there's a lot to catch up on...
See you there.

There's full, and then there's churros full.
Two completely different things.
Order them for the table and let's see how quickly everyone seems to find extra room.

Good food, great drinks, even better company.
Sounds pretty simple, but that's how some of the best nights happen. ✨
Your table is waiting.

POV: you've finally locked in the group chat plans. 📅
Tacos, margaritas, good company, and a table waiting with your name on it.
See you there.

Meet Scott - the man behind the menu 🧑🍳
As Mexico's Executive Chef, Scott is always working on what's next, from new seasonal dishes and sharing plates, to fresh marg flavours and house-made sodas.
There's always plenty happening behind the scenes, but let's just say that right now, one particular creation is already causing a bit of debate. We won't give too much away just yet, but if you like a margarita and you're feeling adventurous, you're going to want to watch this space...
Big flavours, a lot of experimentation, and plenty of taste testing - all in a day's work.

Your favourite margarita says more about you than you think.
Are you a Mango Passionfruit loyalist, a Lychee + Yuzu enthusiast, or someone bold enough to order the Black Plum + Cinnamon?

Over the weekend we celebrated International Beer Day, so today we're raising a glass to the newest additions behind the bar. 🍻
We've teamed up with Colab Brewing to bring six craft beers to selected Mexico locations, with a fresh lineup pouring straight from the taps.
From spicy margaritas to crisp lagers, the bar is looking pretty good right now.
Grab your amigos and come and try them.

Whether it's been one week or six months, Mexico is made for catching up.
We've got the tacos, the margaritas, and the atmosphere sorted... all you need to do is round up your mates.
If you're overdue for a catch up, why not go somewhere you can all agree on? You know where to find us.

Anyone can drink a margarita. Why not learn how to make one too? 🍋🟩
Grab your amigos and shake things up with a Margarita Masterclass.
Over 90 minutes, you'll learn how to make three of our signature margaritas, enjoy delicious food from the Mexico kitchen, and discover why tequila deserves a lot more credit than those questionable nights out.
Perfect for birthdays, hens' parties, team celebrations, or just an excuse to get your friends together.
Skip the usual dinner plans, and get in touch with your local Mexico to book 🎉

That means more tacos, more family time, and a little extra left in your wallet.

Mexican restaurants are known for their vibrant and bold flavors, and Mexico Ponsonby on Ponsonby Road in Auckland is no exception. This restaurant offers a unique dining experience with its fusion of traditional Mexican cuisine and contemporary flair. One of the standout dishes is the fried cauliflower florets, which are vegan-friendly and a delicious alternative to the popular Mexico Fried Chicken. The new chalupas are also worth trying, filled with chicken tinga, fluffy potatoes, salsa, feta, chili, and mozzarella - perfect for sharing or indulging solo. And what's a visit to Mexico Ponsonby without trying their famous margaritas? The Strawberry & Guava Frida's Margaritas are a must-try mid-week treat. On Tuesdays, it's all about tacos at this restaurant - don't fact check it! The battered fish taco with chipotle salsa, slaw, and spice is a Friday favorite among regulars. For pork belly lovers out there, the Pork Belly Panucho with negra mole, garlic mayo, slaw, chili asada, crispy shallots and micro greens is an absolute delight. With such an extensive menu of mouth-watering dishes and refreshing drinks to choose from, it's no wonder that Mexico Ponsonby has become a go-to spot for locals looking for authentic Mexican cuisine with a modern twist.
