Zambrero Courtenay - Wellington

Friendly staff member, the most beautiful tacos ever with yummy salsa and dressings. The loo's needed a decent clean, needed T paper topping up, but aside from that, the food and service was AMAZING!

This Mexican chain restaurant has recently opened. The food is more towards the fresh/authentic Mexican approach than the more common Tex-Mex seen in chain restaurants. The menu has plenty of healthy options, including gluten free and vegan (or able to be made vegan with minor amendments). Service is quick. The atmosphere doesn't encourage you to linger, given the frontage onto Courtenay Place and the traffic noise, but it's bright and inviting enough. Good for a quick meal, especially if you're looking for a healthy option (or a veg option that isn't a felafel kebab or avocado sushi).

I ordered the big burrito and it was pretty good. The girl behind the counter was super friendly as she was teaching a new worker the ropes as they were constructing the burrito. Always a smile on their faces

Experience is dependant on the whim of the server, as to how they pack the spoons and fill the burritos, nachos etc. I've had great meals and okay meals, but nothing terrible, and I haven't been served a horribly miserly meal lacking fillings and sauces like some reviews describe, but I could believe it happens given how varied my own experiences were. I've had delicious nachos and burritos and so-so nachos and burritos, served with smiles and with glum reluctance. Props given for having a gluten free tortilla as an option (which is actually better than flour tortillas I remember eating in the past). I suggest that to avoid the scathing reviews that keep cropping up for this Zambrero branch that the management regularly check on their staff's procedures and manner towards customers. What is the point of letting someone prepare an understuffed and tasteless burrito if it just results in angry customers who decide never to go back?

Not my personal favorite food but was a good visit for a quick meal. Restroom out of order at the time.
