Description: At Amigos, we’ve been serving hot Mexican and cool margaritas since we opened our first restaurant in Wanaka in 1995. Since then, we’ve expanded to more locations around the South Island to share our love for Mexican food. Whether you’re looking for a place to have a fun and lively date night or the next location for your function, we’ve got you covered. And of course, we invite you to join us for the best day of the week, Taco Tuesday, where every one of our delicious tacos is only $5!

When passing through Wanaka, I have an unspoken rule that I must visit Amigos. It's that good, no lies. Best Mexican food I've had in the South Island so far, perhaps even in NZ. The margaritas are a must!!

Wow, what a menu! For both meat lovers and vegetarians, we were really spoilt for choice. I got four soft tacos (they’re only small, plus the choices sounded so tasty) and my partner got six (oops, no regrets) and the flavour was incredible. The Torta Di Lima.. what a dessert. The flavour! Perfect mix of sweet and zest. The cocktail menu was the cherry on the cake. I can’t wait to come back to Wanaka to eat here again!

I was in Wanaka on business by myself and really felt like Mexican. Loved the atmosphere...a real buzz with people dining in and out but still felt quite comfortable dining solo.

Service was very friendly and attentive.

Food was full of flavour and lovely to be able to order small sized serves so that a person can try a number of different flavours.

Really enjoyed and felt excellent value for money.

A restaurant with something to suit everyone.
