As a news story, this blog post is well overdue. Mexico has been serving its vegan-friendly take on Mexican-inspired food since 2012, and I’ve been eating there almost as long. So, this is not a news story, but a big list of various things that Mexico has fed me at different times, and a recommendation to try it some time, if you haven’t.
Mexico’s menu changes every three months to make the most of fresh, seasonal ingredients. There are usually a couple of things on each menu that are vegan by default (listed on their website and in a chart on the wall), as well as a few vegetarian options that can be prepared vegan.
The menu always includes a vegetarian option on its list of soft-shell tacos, which can almost always be made vegan. Tacos I’ve eaten include:
- crispy chickpea tacos with with candied sesame & beet pico de gallo (pictured)
- wild mushroom, fennel & marjoram tacos with pine nuts
- zucchini blossom tacos
- kale tacos
& various others I didn’t take pictures of.
Other things I’ve eaten at Mexico over the last couple of years include:
- burned avocado guacamole
- white bean soup
- perfect little roasted potatoes
- horchata
- fresh salsa & corn chips
and various other delicious snacks & margaritas.
Mexico has four locations in Auckland: at Britomart, and in Takapuna, Ponsonby and Ellerslie. All four are open seven days, noon until late.

Yum! Taco Tuesday. Taco everyday. My favourite of these tacos has probably been the zucchini blossom. Can I just say that my favourite thing about Mexico is that they’ll serve you food at odd hours? It’s the perfect I’m hungry for lunch at 2:30PM fix.
Thanks for the email. I have always been a bit wary of Mexican eateries so it is great to know you have checked them out and can recommend them.
