Mexican
People inherently want what they can’t have, and with Auckland severely deprived of a variety of authentic Mexican options, the masses flocked to this taqueria right beside the Henderson dump, Cileto Lindo. (“Cielito Lindo” is a popular theme song in Mexico, with cielito translating to sweetie and lindo to beautiful.) With co-owner Eliseo Delgado Munoz at the tools, you can order sopes, tacos, quesadillas and the like, with little tubs of salsa to add on to them yourself. The sopes are arguably the best things here (we say arguably, because the tacos are also in contention), with its handmade shells, thick and fried and loaded with Mexican picadillo. Yum.
