Mexico Sylvia Park - Auckland

What we ordered: Horchata $6 Only held here for drinks so I can't say much about the food, but we really enjoy the experience. I never had horchata, it was super refreshing and interesting with a fine rice aroma and sweet cinnamon and condensed milk. The drink size was quite generous compared to most other drinks offered in restaurants so I am super satisfied with the order. The interior is also so beautiful, probably worth a visit alone. The walls are absolutely covered with lively portraits and artworks and it was absolutely stunning.

There is no better place for your taco and fried chicken fix. The nice dishes and delicious cocktails come so fast, great surroundings and staff are always helpful. Very recommended and always good when there are easy parking nearby. James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales

Pretty decent place to meet up with a few mates, have some drinks, and share a few plates. Chicken platter had some tasty options, and was only slightly too dry but it was okay still with the dry rubs or sauces. Chicken burger looked massive. Quesadillas were only okay, the beef cheek one being the better one. Jalapeno poppers were way better and more real than any others I've ever had. But buying individual tacos and trying all 3-4 of them was definitely the best option. Got a couple buckets of Coronas with limes and then the margaritas. Drinks naturally get expensive very quick. They did have a virgin sangria too if you're not looking to drink. We didn't opt for the different tequila tasting flights this night, but perhaps a future day. As for the place itself, wish the seats were a tad more comfortable. As for the ambience, walls were absolutely covered with art and framed images which did lend a good themed feel to the place.

The place was nicely decorated and was inviting. The girls who served us were also really lovely and friendly. The jug drinks could easy drink 2.5 people. Food was pretty ok, would be nice with a little bit more filling.

The cleanliness of the restaurant is questionable. Table was sticky, glass has visible brown stain. Bowl was rusty or a brown drop of something. When this was brought to the staffs attention, I was accused of harrassment to the staff, as I was informed by the manager Roshan. I queried him why is providing feedback and asking for clean cutlery are considered as harrassment, Roshan was unable to elaborate and provide details and took the staffs word without validating. Roshan even offered me the option to leave. What da??? It was when I said this is now defamation and I am extremely offended and upset that he offered his apology and the house will pick up the bill. I worked in hospitality as waiter and I know how tough life can be, but asking for the minimum standards in food hygiene should not be met with such hostile attitude. Food was meh. Fried chicken was dry and overcooked. Prawn taco had a tiny drop of prawn. Churro was nice, though. Overall, I felt very unwelcomed and made to feel like a burden to their half filled restaurant. Totally ruined our Friday night out. Not coming back again. P/S: Taco Bell is just opposite and we had a great experience there in the end.
