★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely little restaurant with warm and engaging staff. Taco was amazing - perfect balance of flavour and taste. Dessert was brownie and churros. Brownie was warm, with an amazing chocolate sauce paired with ice cream and was divine. Churros had a salted caramel and dark chocolate sauce. Both were incredible with perfect churros. Absolutely recommend!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Have been a few times, food is good. But they never have churros despite them being on the menu. I think it's a little on the expensive side. Last time I was there the service was quite slow and we were not given any water for the table, tried to ask for it but there was nobody around to get it from.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We've loved this place for ages but our most recent visit was unusually underwhelming.
Service was lackadaisical. Our waiter was personable but was not very attentive.
Food wasn't quite to the normal standard that we've come to expect.
Headless Mexican did hold the crown for the best mexican in Christchurch but that title is now up for debate.
Make sure you ask for the hot sauce options , they were excellent and added a pop that was lacking.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely experience! We loved all the flavours the textures and aromas, everything was titillating on the taste buds! The staff were very very very friendly. Please don't leave without trying the desert... Churros and brownie was amazing.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dropped in there after a movie, without a booking. Very accommodating and welcoming. We shared a Ceviche but wished we had had one each as it was delicious. One of us had a main sized nachos and what impressed was the amount of topping which was tasty and a generous serving. I had the fish Burritos and my partner a Burrito bowl. Both were great. The service was attentive and helpful, I couldn't fault it. The decor is rustic and cosy. We will be back.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a very nice place and very attentive service and recommendable. Post covid quite a few places in nz have improved with their service and catering.
We tried this place first time and the restaurant wasn’t very busy. The manager was very nice and explained.
The food is commendable that it does have some sort of mexican-ness to it. I’d say much better than what you get at everyday Mexican places..
We had mango chicken nachos large 28$: the corn chips were good and so was the salsa. The guacamole although felt like it was dished out of a can / supermarket jar. The serving was small compared to the price.
Then we had quesadilla cheese 14$. This was ok. And worth the price; what you get at any palce.
Chicken Enchilada 31$ was also an ok serve. But it was bland. However with the hot sauce it tasted much better.
Fajitas (fish and prawn) 59$. I think overpriced but my partner didn’t think so. it does feed 2 people though. Try once if never had before.
And lastly churros 12$ which are certainly recommended. The chocolate was nice and creamy rather than something out of a sauce bottle.
Overall certainly worth visiting once. I feel though almost all the items are supermarket sourced rather than in hand made, except for the churros maybe. So kind of fast food with some handy touch.. However taste wise 4/5. Price wise 3/5. Overall 3.5..
