Gringas - Mangawhai

Arrived at opening time 3 pm hungry and thirsty. Welcomed with a happy hour Margarita and beer which were both super tasty. Followed by amazing dip, pulled pork tacos then shared a crunchy burrito thingy. Awesome. Happy hour 3 to 5 pm. Food fresh. Would come back if we were staying for longer.

In ancient folklore Gringa was the queen of frozen margaritas, this is not widely known. Her spirit had been reborn in this busy corner of Mangawhai heads. Careful though, if the spirit of the margarita queen is disturbed too many times she will wreak vengeance upon you (they're strong)

I don't usually give a tip however my sister and I were so impressed with the charm and service of the young lady that I couldn't leave without tipping her. What a delight with her top notch service. . We loved the food and the drinks. Good size serves too. The dessert was delicious too. Thank you so much. It was packed too so obviously a hit with locals and visitors. I will definitely visit again.

I went here two years ago when it was a food truck and loved it! We were in Mangawhai this weekend and couldn’t not go. So cool to see there is now a restaurant! It was bustling’! Margs were DELISH!!! And tacos phenomenal! I wanted to get some takeaway for my drive home but they are closed Mondays. Definately be back!

Best Mexican food I have ever had, never been to Mexico tho but my partner and I are huge fan of tacos and burritos and we have tried basiclly every Mexican restaurant in Auckland and none of them are better than this place. Food flavor is amazing, portion is very decent and the warm and friendly service from their staff just made everything even better. Loved the churro espresso martini and toasted coconut magarita We are planning to visit mangawhai for a week and thank you Gringas we really had a good start of our holiday!
