🌮 GLOBAL TACO DAY 🌮
As if we needed another excuse to eat tacos...
Global Taco Day is here on a Tuesday (which feels suspiciously convenient...) so we're celebrating the only way we know how: Taco Tuesday At Mexico.
Grab your Fried Chicken or Fried Cauliflower taco, pair it with one of our famous Margaritas (or a Mexican soda) and consider your contribution to this very important global occasion complete.
⏰ Available from 12pm til late.
It's the same Taco Tuesday you know and love, just with an internationally recognised excuse to get involved.

Come for the tacos, stay for the margs.
Except we all know that the margaritas were probably part of the plan all along...

Something spicy, something salty, and a table at Mexico. 🌶️🍸
Sounds pretty perfect to us.
Come hungry, order the marg, and see where the night goes.

There's something so special about our margaritas, specifically watching them come together behind the bar.
The shake, the pour, and the rainbow of different ones to choose from.
Our famous margaritas come in plenty of flavours, all made fresh and each with their own personality.
The only reasonable way to find your favourite? Work your way through the menu.
Which one's your go-to?

What we pour matters just as much as what we put on the plate.
Our Colab b**r is made just north of Auckland at their brewery in Warkworth, and you'll find it at Mexico both on tap and in cans.
Here we have a big focus on choosing drinks that taste great, are made well, and that we're genuinely happy to have on the menu.
Good b**r, made locally. It's a pretty easy decision really.

I don’t know about you, but as soon as someone mentions fried chicken and margaritas, we're there!🍸
It’s a combination that’s pretty hard to say no to.
Who’s with us?

Whoever said money can’t buy happiness clearly never spent it on tacos, margaritas and a night out with their favourite people. 🌮
14/09/2026
We all have our Mexico non-negotiables.
The mate who orders the same tacos every time. The one who says mild and still complains it’s spicy. And the one who won’t let the table order without guac.
So, what are you picking? Swipe through, choose your sides and let us know where you land 👇🌮

Here we go again..... 😫 From midday today we head into a version of Lockdown 2.0 across the country. The good news is that we’re now used to this kinda thing, and we know that with everyone doing their bit we can get through to the other side (again).
For our Ponsonby amigos, we’re still open for your Fried Chicken fix under Level 3 Guidelines, with contactless delivery and click and collect available via our website and Love Mexico app. Check our website for opening hours for your local Mexico. 🌮

What people say
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.
