Mexico Sylvia Park - Auckland

Popular place with amazing decor!!! Authentic Mexican flavours and recipes. Love the Mexican fried chicken and the small tacos were delish!!! Service was great from start to finish, friendly, great smiles and advice. Feed me for $40 per person was great value and a great way to be introduced to the cuisine. Definately recommend!!!

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.

Margaritas were aesthetically beautiful but didn't really taste as how we ordered them to be, but was still okay. The fried chicken...juicy and moist but can't really tell apart the chipotle mayo and jalapeño mayo. They both tasted like regular mayo. Not spicy at all despite having 3x on the menu.

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.

I wanted to celebrate my birthday here with the whole Whanau. Grandkids love the chicken taco, enjoyed their drawings, celebrant enjoyed its excellent Brazilian pig bell with perfect presentation. Service was great and food was not so bad. I recommend this place.
