Cielito Lindo Cafe & Taqueria

West Auckland is blessed to have this gem that serves delicious authentic Mexican food. Their food is a bit pricey, but you will feel satiated and satisfied from the portions they serve. I particularly enjoy their bistek and picadillo options for their quesadillas and nachos. To top it all off, they even sell horchata which pairs well with the food. The waiting time for food is reasonable and the staff are friendly and efficient. ¡Muchas gracias!

Family fave! Been coming here for years and the food remains the same. Love the consistency - we know what we're getting every time we go and we've never been disappointed, there's never been a bad day. A credit to this lovely hard working couple! Our favourites are: Tinga (chicken) nachos Beans & nopales (cactus) burrito Tinga (chicken) & nopales burrito Lamb, beef cheek & pork tacos Tinga (chicken) quesadilla Sopes are also delicious Basically, we love most of the menu - and don't forget the spicy salsa (actually spicy) & guacamole Can be a bit of a wait for the food but always worth it. Tortilla chips are made fresh when you order. Small, ex-lunchbar The best!

Love the tacos at this place. I had a fish, pork and nopales (cactus) tacos My favorite was the cactus such a different subtle taste, then there was the pork wonderful, the fish one was a surprise I saved it to last because I thought it would be the best, but I've never had fish tacos and it wasn't what I expected I think I will love it after a few tries but as I said it wasn't what I expected. The salsa was amazing you get a choice of intensity I went for hot, it wasn't killer for me it was just right. It looks like a lunch bar in an industrial estate which is what it is, don't expect white table cloths and silver cutlery, this is a couple of small tables and you eat with your fingers but wow the food is great and you can also get standard lunch bar food. By the way this is not tex mex this is real Mexican food so there will be no cheese on your tacos and that's the way it should be

You can't get any closer to eating proper Mexican food in a proper Mexican cantina. My wife and I shared the 3x Taco combo ( you can choose from pork carnitas, beef cheeks, beef brisket, chicken, fish or cactus) and a burrito. It was quite filling and we ended up taking half the burrito home. We have been several times and they never fail to disappoint.! Que rico!
