Mexico Britomart is a Mexican restaurant at 23 Britomart Place in Auckland's CBD, serving street-inspired shareable plates on a menu that changes through the year to follow fresh ingredients. You can book a table online or order Mexico To Go.
Good Mexican cooking rests on a few foundations: fresh corn, house-made salsas and meats cooked long and slow, whether that's birria braised until spoon-soft or pork marinated with chilli and pineapple. The smart move is to order across the table — a run of small plates, from cheese dips and empanadas to tacos and tostadas, beats any single main. Vegetarians are usually well looked after too, as mushroom, beans, cactus and queso carry plenty of the cuisine. And if heat is a concern, ask how the salsas run before you commit.
In the middle of Britomart's dining quarter, Mexico Britomart makes an easy stop for a long lunch or a night in the city.
