We dined twice on our recent visit to Havelock North.
The decor is fresh and fun.
The service is friendly and swift.
Drinks are made quickly and are delicious...Margaritas
The food is fresh and tasty.
The day we went was a 2 for 1 taco day much to our delight.
I highly recommend this charming eatery that won't break the bank at $10 for Tacos.

Good atmosphere and always busy. Food is delicious especially the main options, tacos tend to be a touch on the sweet/sour side (not so well balanced) and get sickly quite quickly. Main complaint about this restaurant is its shocking service. If the cocktails weren't so good we would never go back purely based on that. Not made to feel welcome (more like they are trying to rush you out) and no-one asked how the meals were or offered a second drink.

We arrived very close to closing time and yet they still welcomed us in and let us know what the chef was still able to prepare. And luckily for us it was just what we wanted! Very quick service and extremely tasty food. Portion sizes were good too. The atmosphere was still good, even though we were among the only ones there. It's just a shame that they close by 9pm, it would be a great place to go for a late night snack after a movie or drink. However I'll definitely be going back again!

We went here on a Tuesday evening and the evening sun was streaming through the open windows. The virgin margaritas were refreshing for a summer evening and the chicken is excellent. Service is efficient but a bit lacking in warmth and experience. Great for a casual no-fuss dinner with friends
